I hate restarting cinema 4d because i want to test my async dialog but i can only open it in a command data >.>

from    c4d.gui         import GeDialog

Maybe at least this can be added to the Py4D Standart Library ? Would be pretty useful for skripts, hehe.

Cheers,

//edit:
Hm, again some issues.
is there any way to keep the globals within a Thread ? >.>
