Forgotten plugins
-
or maybe a thread here called 'what the heck is this for?'
i'll start.. i've been lugging this around in my plugin folders for a while now and have no idea what it's for..
config-thumb.jpg

PS I finally went out and bought a new headset with microphone - so I can make my videos again! woohoo
Well, I'm excited. Maybe I'll try to put it to good use tonight and learn how to add content to the instructor. -
sometimes i forget i can search things on my computer.. ha.
the only file i have that mentions 'config-thumb.jpg' is configurator.js which is something to do with dynamic components.. on mac it's located at
....sketchup 8/ SketchUp/ DynamicComponents/ jsi'm now wondering if it's still in a fresh install or if i've just been continuing to keep some early dynamic components leftovers.
does anyone else have that jpg in their plugin folder?
the java script where it's mentioned looks like
@unknownuser said:
value = comp.getAttributeValue(root, 'imageurl');
if (su.notEmpty(value)) {
// If the image path is just a filename (no folders) then append the
// local skp path to try for a local load.
if (value.indexOf('\') == -1 && value.indexOf('/') == -1) {
value = localPath + value;
}
} else {
value = '../../../plugins/config-thumb.jpg?' + Math.random();
}arr.length = 0;
arr.push('<img id="thumbnail" src="', value, '" alt="',
su.translateString('Component'), '" class="config-thumb');
if (cfg.$single == false) {
arr.push('-multiselect');
}
arr.push('"/>');
su.setContent('config-image', arr.join(''));// This checks to see if the image loads. If there is a load error, then
// we will set the path of our image to the default thumb path.
img = new Image;
img.onerror = function() {
$('thumbnail').src = '../../../plugins/config-thumb.jpg?' +
Math.random();
};
img.src = value; -
Hi,
I think some time about it, make me an Excel sheet with a brief description of the scripts which i have in my Plugins folder. But then I'm usually too lazy to copy the contents of the menus from the screen.
Is there any way to get the content of the plug-in menus or tool menu in the same order as it appears at the screen as a text file.
Would it be possible with a Ruby script?

Ever gone down your list of plug-ins and wondered "what's this one for" or looked for a plug-in that you do not use often but forgot what it's called?
my "solution" to this problem was to create a word document which lists the name of the plugin, what it does and the name of the author. of course, it is far from finished at this stage but every now and then I enter new ones to the list.

sigh - we need a plugin manager so badly...

It would be nice if the name of the plugin had some relationship to the menu text. I have plugins that have some mystery menu text, which has not relationship to the actual plugin name. Also, I would like to see, some hint in encrypted scripts to give where to expect the plugin is to be accessed. Like "CM" for context menu, or "PM" for plugin, or "TM" for tool menu. On scripts that I can modify, I try and change the name to follow the above rules.
Hey, I am not trying to "poke in the eye", the vary generous script writers. However, Sketchup has become quite hard to master with scripts that are not very helpful in their description or function.
Not sure why the script writers can not come up with a standard way to script the following, a naming standard, a menu standard, a file loaded standard and etc, and then the author could list his new script as following the above guidelines.
Oh well thoughts from a person that cannot script. However, I am trying to learn.
Again thanks to all the script writers.

"Yes! Or bigger monitors!"only now? I was saying that way back at Windows 98.

Charly and edson. If only your system could be automated. Maybe it would be possible to have some sort of description manager script that would take a short description each rb. maker puts inside the plugin and add to a document like a spreadsheet. Each time you download an rb. or run the script it updates your ruby descriptions, which could have links. This would be outside of SU I guess, not a real manager.
