It can be used to:

-Transfer the motion from particles to all the selected objects in Blender
-Particles Export into .fbx files
-Added support for Blender 4.3.0 Beta
-Removed unsupported icons
This extension does not require special permissions.
There are some bugs. Please test add-on before publishing, because those errors are very easy to catch.

hello @nickberckley, thank you so much for reviewing the extension!
as you pointed out, if you don´t have any object selected before hitting bake it throws you this ugly error.
I´ve now added a self.report to remember the user to keep the particles they want to bake as instances Selected before hitting bake, while keeping the emitter Active.
hope now it will be easier for the user to understand how to use the addon correctly!
any more tips on usability are more than welcome! :) :)
I think i´ve commented instead of awaiting review (?) Feel free to let me know if u find anymore bugs with V 4.1.0 :) Thank you for testing the extension!
Error in console about icons is still there. Please, again, test before requesting review.
Hi Nickberckley, thanks again for reviewing the extension. I´ve tested it using bleder 3.6 (custom install) and 4.2.2 LTS (which was the one I was optimizing for).
But indeed I got a super ugly error in v 4.3.0 Beta which was breaking the panels. Now its fixed, tested across all 3 versions and working alright. It seems such a strange update not to include a pretty common icon. It might just be a problem with the Beta version?
next time you may want to ask to optimize for specific versions or test across multiple versions yourself, it might quicken the workload and fasten the process :)
Thanks again for reviewing the extension :)
I apologize you're right I forgot to mention I was testing with 4.3. But it's good we catch the bug, that's reason why we test in upcoming versions, especially when release is close, so that add-on doesn't break in couple of days. I would advise you to keep ahead in future and test for newer versions for any API changes.
