[Plugin] Ruby Toolbar

Didier Bur

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the update: icons are there now

Show/Hide console doesn't work (not very important)
Clear console only moves the text in the console 1 line up 8O

The title of the Ruby console window in french is "Console Ruby". This could cause the problem...
But the most important command "Reload script" works OK since the first version

Thanks again for this very useful tool,
Regards,

Gaieus

Thank God I don't need to deal with a "native" version of SU!

Everything's OK with the french version now, including toggle
Only minor tweaks were necessary

Great! But would you mind sharing the minor tweaks so maybe I can make the toolbar more international?

I'm afraid it would be useless because I simply replaced all the calls to "Ruby Console" by "Console Ruby", but that's only for french. Each version of SU does have a particular name for the Ruby Console, so... Even a call to langhandler.rb (with 'getstring') will not work since this deals with a window name, not a message string or such.

Jim

Didier, GetString would work, but since it's only one string, I won't use LangHandler. I've updated the plugin to support FR.

Hi Jim,

I love this toolbar. I use it constantly.

Feature request: How about saving the state and position of the console in the registry? So if I close and reopen Sketchup it remembers if the console was open and where it was.

Also If you want I could give you the code to read the console log window. Saving is the only use I can think of. But maybe it could be parsed to some effect.

Thanks Chris,

The version I posted on SketchyUtils isn't up-to-date, I'll remove it. Download the version available in this thread.

The position and size are saved in the registry, but only if the console is closed using the toolbar. Is it possible to save these settings if the console is closed using the X widget?

CPhillips

Ah, much better. Yeah I was still using the old one.

I didn't even know this subsection of the forums was here until yesterday.

As far as detecting the window close message. It wouldn't be easy. One thing you could do is just check the position of the window ever 10 sec or so and see if it has moved/closed.

Regards
Chris

Why put the "ruby console" and not the "Web Console" of Jim Foltz?
Seems it is more easy using?
(but I am totally new beginner in Ruby script

PS With the Webconsole seems you can't save (bug ?)

You can save, it just doesn't say that you have the same file open after that. it's weird.

Jim

Maybe I should combine the 2 plugins into 1?

Jim,
I use your plugin always when I deal with SU Ruby. Ability to run snippets would be the good addition.

I have also noticed that your plugin doesn't work in Polish version of SU. In PL the console is called "Konsola Ruby". Is there a way to recognise the language of SU instead of the OS? I have SU6PL installed in Vista EN.

Thanks
Tomasz

tomasz

I have checked and

Sketchup.get_locale

returns 'pl' string which is correct language for SU Version (SU6 PL).

Tomasz
EDIT
Substituted os_language with get_locale

@btm
Thx Indeed that's save and load but not in .rb in the Snippets apparently
That was my error

I'm getting this error for the Clear Console button:
Error: #<TypeError: no implicit conversion from nil to integer> C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 7/Plugins/rubytoolbar.rb:94:incall'

Jim

What is the name of your Ruby Console in the title bar?

thomthom

"Ruby Console"

Jim

I don't understand the error, then. Does WIn32API work on 64 bit machines? Can you try this version?

Yes.
I have a working version of a snippet that clears the console. I can compare it against the one in your plugin.

I'll try.
