If you still have a problem with this, look in the Tools folder again and open the file called _tools_list.txt. This is the settings file for how the tools are organized in the Tools window. Scroll down to the bottom and see if MR Curve is listed twice. If it is, delete one of the entries.
Success! That was it, the _tools_list.txt was the problem. Thanks for your help.
I must have accidentally deleted it a day or two ago while deleting scripts that I no longer used. When I couldn't find it, I checked the trash can and there it was. So I put it back and the extra button went away.
Sorry for disrupting this thread with a problem of my own creation.
If the _tools_list.txt file somehow gets lost again, you can always regenerate it.
Just go to Preferences > Tool Layout and click the Restore Factory Defaults button. This will create brand new _tools_list.txt file with the default arrangement of the tools. You will still have your custom tools in the Tools window but they will all appear at the bottom in the 'Other' category.
If you had previously created any custom categories or placed the tools in a preferred order, this data will be gone, but you can re-create them using the Tools Layout window.
When I have a particular Tools arrangement I like, I make a backup of the current settings file. To do this, simply duplicate the file and add 'backup' or 'BU' to the filename. You can keep the file here because Moho will ignore it when name isn't exactly _tools_list.txt. Now, if I somehow mess up my settings, I just replace it with this one by changing the name back to _tools_list.txt.

Updated the script to version 3.0.1.
Fixed a bug with incorrect drawing of Bezier handles when the layer was in a group that had a transformation.
Cool! This is by far one of the most favorite scripts I'm using last days and it keeps making me happy instantly every time! Thanks a lot for this!

Thank you for the feedback! I'm always happy when my scripts help the Moho community.
Just curious is there a way to have a drawing mode like standard curve tools like in Clip Studio or CACANi? It'd be cool if you could assign a certain amount of points to as well like 3, 4, 5, etc... I always preferred cleaning up with curve tools.
I'm afraid I didn't understand the question.
This tool was inspired by the tools from Clip Studio and CACANi. In my opinion, it turned out to be even more functional as it combines several modes at once.
Could you please explain what you meant by "assign a certain amount of points"?
Auto-creation of intermediate points?

So basically like the gif I captured You just click and drag to a end point and you wiggle your mouse around until you get the right curve and the amount of points will be for generating the amount of points between each path.
It's a gif so you need to go to the url by clicking the image.
Thank you for the explanation.
I believe this could be possible, but certainly not as part of the MR Curve Tool.
Personally, I rarely use this approach. If anyone else needs such a tool, please let me know.
Oh for heaven's sake. Now I have to relearn how to draw again. I spent years moaning and groaning that Adobe products wouldn't draw the same as Moho.
Just kidding. This is AWESOME and I agree it would be great to see this as a built-in option in Moho. However, this tool works so freaking well they can work on more important stuff.

Hi KuzKuz,
Happy user of your MR Curve Tool here!
Would it be possible to make the tool automatically select the just created shape to directly use it in the Styles panel (put the Styles panel in SHAPE mode)?
That would prevent us from needing to use the Select SHape tool after creating a shape just to switch the style.
(So like the Add Points tool does)
Thanks so much!
