Seems ok but duration does not work
Does anybody knows why Duration does not work? I set 2 seconds or 3 seconds duration of animation and it does not apply. It always fade with the same quick time
It worked and then it stopped
Since version 1.2.3, the animations stopped working.I reverted back to version 1.2.2 and they work.I had to disable updates.
Very good
Excellent plugin merci
