Port 2_80

[Weisl]

Hi,
I ported your addon to blender 2_80. I needed it and it took me about 10 minutes. I would contribute my change to you if I would know how. I am not really experienced with github, so I don't know if I am doing something wrong or if I don't have any permission to make pull requests.
Anyway, I can send you the updated version at any time.

and thanks for the addon in general :)!

@Weisl Thanks. It's only a short one-file add-on, so if you want, you can just paste it into a comment on this issue and format it as code by putting ``` on blank lines before and after it. If you type ```python for the first one, it should show up with Python syntax highlighting. I can include it if I get around to it...I'd want to do my own tests a bit, but then at least folks can use it ATM if they wish.

Sorry, completely forgot to upload it :D.

[Weisl]

I just tested my updated script from above in blender 2.83 and it worked. Can you provdie further information what doesn't work?
