Pesky shy toolbars

[chrisjk]

I have a bunch of great plugins, mainly thanks to the prolific authors who give so generously of their work here in SCF. I love them so much I want their toolbars on permanent display and on my 30 inch screen I have plenty of room for them. The problem is that some are of the shy retiring kind and on firing up Sketchup, I keep having to go to "View -> Tool Palettes -> the relevant plugin" and tell it to display the toolbar.

Some plugins, on the other hand always put up their toolbar. I have looked at the Ruby code and can see a number of differences between those that remember their toolbar visibility and those that don't but it's not all that consistent and not being any kind of coder am reluctant to play around with it. I wonder if there is a snippet of code someone could provide that I could add to the shy plugins to either get them to remember to show their toolbar if I have it switched on via View -> Tool Palettes or alternatively to force them to show their tool bar every time?

I am on a Mac, if that makes any difference.
