Hi, the script has stopped working for me with the last update of Scriptographer. See attachment to see how it looks. Downgraded to Scriptographer v2.8.055 and it start working.

[edit] Please disregard. The problem was due to merging new Scriptographer folder with the old one...

Specs: CS5 on 64 bit Windows 7.

Nice work! I was just wondering if there was a way to maybe add the ability of the lines to follow specific straight paths? Similar to that of the "line segment tool" in illustrator, when holding down shift key while clicking and dragging, it makes the line follow any 45degree angle. If this ribbon folder could do such, I think it would be an even more useful tool than it already is. I know that might be pretty specific but, if it can be done, I figured I would make a suggestion. Thank you!
