[5.2.1 possible bug] Anim Picker default tab name incompatible with NURBS shape transfer

mGear 5.2.1 maya 2024.2
The default tab name for the Anim Picker is ‘default’ and when you select Convert to nurbs curves, the group name for the curves will be ‘default1’ because at least on this version of maya default doesn’t appear to be a valid name for an object. Then when selecting convert to picker data, nothing will change.

Renaming the tab of course works so it’s not a major issue or anything, but it may be something that may trip beginners up.

Fix idea: change the default name, or add a line to the docs like “Converting to NURBS and back will fail if the tab name is already used by an object in the scene, use unique names for tabs. ‘default’ is not a valid object name so rename the default tab if shaping the controls with NURBS.”

Thanks for the feedback, This is a bug and is my my WIP to fix :wink:
