“recommend utilizing PME’s
overlayfunction.”
Is there a way to delete erase a text if i display it via PME?
example: i turn on PME macro and use overlay function with really long display time.
But i also want it to disappear that overlay text at the moment i turn of that PME macro (or more like, start another one macro, in this case a macro that turns of the features of the prev macro)
“2 Click “Store in Addon Preferences.”
3 Select the datablock (ID subclass).”
if i click on Store in Addon Preferences i don’t have any list, just an empty field with a search field in the heading…
In the video You showed that button (“Store in Addon Preferences.”) called “Store in Scene Instance”, don’t know why 
Anyway, if something doesn’t work, I look for error messages.
I thought “Info” window shows errors if i run a py file from Text Editor
The reason I used PME autorun is simply that it’s the easiest way (and also, this is a discussion thread for PME topics).
So that means i could use “…AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.2\scripts\startup” to right?
I fixed the py as You told, and works perfectly, Thank You!
For me the best way would be the PME property one, since i have macros that using the same Blender tool but with different settings (like snapping configurations), but i already stuck with the “there is no ID subclasses if i press the button” issue
I really appriciate Your time and patience You gave here already.
I will be honest. I always try to know as less as i need to solve a problem. Until now it worked more or less with ChatGPT (don’t hate me too much haha), but specific access like these You described are a no go to ChatGPT (or at least i didn’t figured out how to get the info).
Another way would be as You already mentioned to learn scripting from the basics, but would be so much effort and time to reach the level that i need to solve issues like this, i don’t see how could i achieve that, especially as AI is coming up i really feel that the effort would be a waste of time
i always wanted to learn scripting since i really love to figure out systems they are working as i designed :D, and i was a happy puppy when i saw what i can reach already with AI (of course anybody with script knoweldge would laugh if would see my “codes” :D)
I just write this down because i wanted to be honest after You gave patience and lot help to me
PS: i set the overlay_alignment = ‘TOP’ in status_notifier.py , but text still displayed at the bottom after restart
