The script operates by saving selected objects on your local computer or a server. Therefore, it's important to specify which folders you want the script to use for saving the selected files. You'll need to choose both a local folder and a server folder for this purpose. If you don't have a server, you can still use the script to copy and paste files on your own computer.

Critical Hotfix v1.1

• Folder selection in Settings now saves destination folders properly
• Objects are now selected after paste
