This is a strange one! I have loaded up my own plug-in using a .mel file with an accompanying GUI. However, the plug-in loads ok but then the button, with the correct '-command "[Execute command"' does nothing! It's just not running the plug in. Why?

maybe it would be helpful if you'd write your command line so we'd see what you pass to your plugin.

if(`window -exists ICAExportWindow`)
{ deleteUI ICAExportWindow; }
window ICAExportWindow;
columnLayout -columnAttach "both" 12 -rowSpacing 8 -columnWidth 150;
button -label "Export Scene!" -command "ICAExport";
showWindow ICAExportWindow;
loadPlugin "ICAExport.mll";


'ICAExport' <- when executed in the script text field, works. Through the button, it does not.

ah ok sorry. thought it would be more complex.
i really don't know why it doesn't work. the thing i'd try (a bit dirty workaround):
either

-command "eval(\"ICAExport\")"

or

write an extra mel-procedure which does nothing else then executing your command and is started by the button.

just some ideas - maybe it helps.
good luck!
