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.

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

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

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

TIG · 12 May 2010, 14:35

Sounds like you have some files in the wrong places - is this on PC or Mac ?
Copy/Paste this line into the Ruby Console + <enter>
Sketchup.find_support_file("Plugins")
It returns the path that all of the .rb files OR sub-folders should go into - they should be in the same relationship as they are in the zip file - i.e. usually a 'loader' .rb and then a related sub-folder full of other files - that folder goes into Plugins with its contents unchanged.

Sir · 12 May 2010, 16:11

yeah its mac, and they're in the correct place. i guess ill wipe the folder and reinstall them all.

rogueparker · 13 May 2010, 17:44

Im getting the same error message as above, but on a vista pc, I've tried the install 3 times. any ideas?

thomthom · 13 May 2010, 17:52

Are the files installed as described in the first post?

prismcnd · 15 May 2010, 04:53

Well I would really like to thank you Tom and Tig, after a couple of days i found the culprit, apparently i had a couple of older versions of the LibFredo6 filefolder in my plugins directory and after removing them everything is back to normal. Stupid mistake and thank you for your help.
