Running the tool:

import lightingTool

lightingTool.main()

Setting the HDR Folder Path:

Option 1: Set the path when calling the main function

example: lightingTool.main("C:\myHdrFolderPath")

Option 2

Enter the path to the "HDR Folder Path:" field at the bottom of the HDRI Tab. Once you enter the path it will register to your user prefs.

HDR Folder Images Setup:

See the hdriFolder Example. For every .exr or .hdr file you need a jpg Thumbnail named accordingly. Example: myHdriImage.exr -- myHdriImage_Thumb.jpg

Please note that the file resolution field is not supported yet. At the moment I am looking at the best approach to do this.
