[CRITICAL Upgrade - 6 May 10 - 23:55 CET - Bug fixing for the menu gray-out issue]

see http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=28135#p244052

Thanks to the clarifications brought up by jhauswirth, TIG and Thomthom about this ennoying problem, it is confirmed that LibFredo6 contributes to accelerate the apparition of the problem. Also included is a revised Spanish translation by Defisto.
So it is strongly advised that you upgrade to version 3.4c WHETHER YOU USE MY SCRIPTS OR NOT or disable my scripts in the menu Preferences > Extensions.

For those who wants to have some details, the issue is that LibFredo6 may create Command objects everytime you use a contextual menu and never release them, whereas the maximum limit for SU is 1,000 commands. So everytime you right-click in the SU selection tool, you get closer to the limit where menus will start graying.

Thanks Fredo for fixing this so quickly. It's hard to even use sketchup without your tools.

Yes, thanks indeed

Have you put it [and its related files] in the Plugins folder inside its own folder ?

prismcnd · 9 May 2010, 10:06

Confirmed all files are in the proper placement. works fine without the "libfredo.rb" file, but with it as soon as i load sketchup and first action is right-click on sang all right click options are greyed out

TIG · 9 May 2010, 10:19

Have you also updated FredoScale etc ?

No need. The code was in LibFredo. FredoScale did not have to be updated.
Tools on Surface did though.

There could be some other culprit to the disabled menus.

Could you use the following code in the Ruby console (copy & paste it):
l=[];ObjectSpace.each_object {|x| l.push x if x.class==UI::Command } ; l.length

This displays the number of Command objects.

After enabling LibFredo6 3.4c, check in the Ruby console BEFORE you right click and then AFTER.

Thanks

Fredo

Some other plugin can still add to that - so it would not be an idication of FredoLib is the cause. To determine that one must disabled FredoLib and see if you still get an increase - if so, then there's another plugin doing this.

I get 332 before AND 332 afterwards...

How about making an observer script that watches the number of commands a la code snippet, and when it approaches /reaches 1000 it pops up a dialog warning you that you have too many commands loaded and might like to sort out your plugins or suffer 'grayed' context-menu items...
It would be nice it it could purge unused commands... but how ? ObjectSpace.garbage_collect ?

The normal behavior should be that Commands objects are released as any othe Ruby object (This is what I thought by the way). From what jhauswirth reported, it seems that each UI::Command creates an underlying Windows static object which might itself not be released, even if the UI::Command object would be garbaged out by Ruby.

This gray fade was extremely annoying. What a relief

prismcnd · 10 May 2010, 02:24

ran said script with LibFredo.rb disabled, returned a value of 293. ran said script with LibFredo6 enabled and returned said value of 428. Right-click menu is greyed out right from the start with Libfredo.rb enabled. As in before I've had a chance to create anything. Ken reports the same result from this post ( http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=11212&start=285 )
For the record I would like to say I really appreciate you guys looking into this. I used fredo's/your tools all the time and am really having a hard time remembering a workflow before I had these wonderful tools at my disposal.
here is the full report from the ruby console after i reenabled the script and ran the command in the ruby console

Have you tried removing LibFredo before installing this new version? To ensure all files are updated?

Sir · 12 May 2010, 13:43

just upgraded to the latest toolset, on loading skp this error came up

Error Loading File ZLoader__FredoScale.rb
uninitialized constant LibFredo6::Traductor

TIG · 12 May 2010, 13:50

Did you get the latest version of the Lib and software rubies and keep them in their respective folders as you extracted them from their zip files...

Sir · 12 May 2010, 13:57

ok, now it seems none of the toolbars are loading but no error messages popup

interestingly in the preferences > extensions absolutly nothing is showing
