      Very odd. I write these plugins on a Vista system, and use them at work on an XP system.

      I'll keep digging. I might have a new file for you to try in a few hours.

          Sorry Rod, I've been sick and have not been doing too much.

          So I don't know what the problem is, but these scripts open the ruby concole while the scripts are loading, so we can see any load errors. So please overwrite the existing files with these. And copy any text that gets written to the ruby console when SketchUp is starting. Then paste that code back here.

                around line #53, seems a heavy handed [wrong] way to replace all of the PC's filepath's / separators with a \ the tr way might be safer/easier to see...

                  What's wrong with gsub, and how is tr safer and easier?

                  Hi

                    in that example you do save a few characters. And you avoid the overhead of rexex processing. if it is simple text or character replacement it is faster to do plain text replace than invoking regex.

                      I was not aware of the .tr method. I had only seen gsub, and I was able to get it to work. But I like the way .tr works. It looks much simpler. It took me hours and hours to wrap my head around how slashes work and escaping characters with lots of help. I'm sure I don't understand it all yet. But just having it work made me happy.

                      So the problem in this script that I was fixing is that I was storing forward slashes into the Windows registry. It seems to work fine on most computers. But not Rod's. His Vista won't handle forward slashes at all. Anyone know what might be making his system work like that?

                      Chris

                      PS I still don't know if these tweaks fixed it for Rod - I sure hope it did. Because I'm about out of ideas otherwise.....

                        The .tr is somewhat different though. But can be used in this case.

                        .gsub can also be used without using regex for pattern.

                          Oh yeah, I also meant to ask:

                          What is regex?

                                This is the result :

                                private method `gsub! ' called for nil: NilClass

                                I am very sad because I did that I had that tool

                                Note: In this strange problem I succeeded for the first time and then I got this problem.

                                  Can you have anyway for this plugin to export as a movie file too?
                                  If you can thanks! but I know its gonna be hard.

                                  Google it!

                                    @Rod - ok, I think I know a surefire way to fix your problem. I'll try to get a script out tonight or tomorrow. But I am going to disable the script's ability to remember a location to save the image files, since that is what seems to be causing the problems.

                                    @KXI - I agree that would be cool. If I implement it will probably cost something.

                                    Anyone out there know a free ruby library that compiles sequence images into a video? Would I be able to do it with the command line mplayer? Or doies imagemagik support anything beyond animated .gifs?

                                        OK Rod, try this one now. overwrite the clf_camera_recorder.rb file that is inside the clf_camera_recoreder folder.

                                        Also, it should pop up a little message while loading. I would like to know what it says on your system. Thanks!

                                          ok, but Chris can you at least tell me a free program that acts like Quick time pro (the feature that this plugin uses)?
