Installation
- Download the script (1.1.6 - January 30th, 2012; changelog)
 - In Blender, open File > User Preferences, move to the Add-Ons tab and click Install Add-On in the bottom of the window
 - Check the SMD Tools' box to enable them

Usage
- For an in-depth guide, see Blender SMD Tools Help.
 
- Use the Import SMD and Export SMD operators to import or export. Search for them from the spacebar menu, or use the File menu.
 - Group objects to export them to the same SMD.
 - Use the Scene Properties panel for SMD export options. SMDs are exported to 
<output folder>\<subfolder>\<object>.smd. - Use the Armature Properties panel to filter and batch export actions, and to more conveniently manage or create them.
