Script Launcher

Changelog

• Script execution now uses Blender's built-in bpy.ops.script.python_file_run operator instead of exec(), complying with the Extensions platform policy on dynamic code execution.
• No change in behavior: scripts still run with __name__ == "__main__" and __file__ set (same as the Text Editor's Run Script), and imported modules still won't create __pycache__ in your script folders.

Changelog

• Execute scripts with compile()/exec() so __name__ is "__main__" and if __name__ == "__main__": blocks run as expected
• Suppress bytecode cache writes during execution to keep script folders free of __pycache__
• Exclude existing __pycache__ folders from the panel tree
• Tidy preferences UI (General section, "Category (N-Panel)" label)

Changelog

• Added script search function (real-time filtering)
• Small optimizations.

Changelog

Removed use of self.layout_type in UIList.draw_item(), which has been removed from the Blender API
