[Plugin] Selection Toys

...maybe when you download you are getting a cached version... tried clearing your browser cache?

yup...i always clear up my browser cache using CCleaner..a freeware that clears up all the temporary files trash, etc...Can you mail me the recent version...is there any way to detect if I have a recent version or not??

Download the TT_Lib zip file - extract to a temporary location can open up core.rb in Notepad. See if it says VERSION = '1.2.0' somewhere in there.
Then you verify if it's a download problem or not.

It is version 1.2.0..i checked it out in the core.rb file.

CONSTANTS

# TT_Lib version constant.
# @since 1.0.0
**VERSION = '1.2.0'**
	# Array indexes for VERSION.split('.')
	# @since 1.2.0
	V_MAJOR = 0
	V_MINOR = 1

.. what should I do now?? It's not a download problem of ..what's wrong with my file then??

I dunno... must be something in the way you copy the files to your plugins folder.
Are you using an administrator account?

yes i'm using an administrator account..in fact there's only one user of my computer...no other user exists ...

I don't know...

When you copy the files to the plugins folder (and you answer Yes to overwrite) do you see the filesize change? The file timestamp? When you open core.rb after copying it - do you see VERSION = '1.2.0' ?

yes I do see the filesize change. I also deleted the older selection toys folder, TT_Lib and .rb files but still no success. One weird thing is if I create a separate new plugins folder in SketchUp Directory and copy only the selection toys folder along with TT_lib..everything is fine [i.e. no error popup at startup of SketchUp] ...but the moment I cut paste the my other old plugins to this new folder....the problem reappears...

When you do that, are you asked to overwrite any files?

thomthom · 17 Nov 2010, 07:25

Looking at your screenshot of your plugins folder I see the error. You have lots of old TT_Lib files directly in your Plugins folder instead of the sub-folder they should be at.

I tried highlighting them, but I'm not sure if I got them all, and some might be plugins (the one I marked with questionmark)

Thanks thomthom!!..I removed the files that you highlighted...no more popup on SketchUp start ... ..and yeah when i type TT_Lib::VERSION in ruby console i'm finally getting version 1.2.0 as the result...thanks a lot..!!

Glad it works

Hi Thom!
Unfortunatly those toys grey out my right click menu (or in more ballanced words deleting of all toys
files\folders solve this problem). Could you take a closer look at the issue?
I need them badly
Thank in advance.
P.S. I'm talking about the last version of the toys + lib.

thomthom · 1 Dec 2010, 09:47

Have you got a large number of plugins?
Have you updated all Fredo plugins?

Download the .rb file in this post: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=29032&start=15#p252902

Open the Ruby Console
And type stats after you right click on various items.

rv1974 · 1 Dec 2010, 09:55

yes
yes
stats
UI:Command objects: 337 of 1000 (33.70%)

thomthom · 1 Dec 2010, 10:11

Does the stats number remain flat like that during a modelling session? (right-click on various items and check with stats after each right click.)

Are the menu's disabled immediately after SU loads? Or does it happen later in the modelling session?

Have you had ST installed previously?

rv1974 · 1 Dec 2010, 10:48

First off after reinstalling the menu is OK (on the first munutes of the work)
The stars numbers are floating from 477 to 491 (with "menu optimizer" preinstalled), and remain
constant 337 after the "menu optimizer" uninstalled.
Usually the menu get disabled after some period (may be 30 min - 300 min it's hard to say).
But today it happened on the start.
Once more: meanwhile everything is OK but the time will show.
Edit: after ~10 min the menu is grey (the "menu optimizer" does not improve the state).

thomthom · 1 Dec 2010, 12:02

Can you remove Selection Toys and the Menu Optimizer and try stats without them?
Right click on various types of geometry, Edge, Face, Group, ComponentInstance, Image and see if the number stats return increases.

rv1974 · 1 Dec 2010, 12:18

It remains constant (UI:Command objects: 250 of 1000 (25.00%)) on different type\number of entities.

thomthom · 1 Dec 2010, 12:26

250 without, and 477 to 491 with...

You are using the latest, yes? Not an older version?
And SketchUp version...?
OS?

I wonder if there is a combo of plugins that does this. As I can not reproduce it.
Can you post a screenshot of your plugins folder, with small icons side by side so I can get an idea of how many plugins you got?

rv1974 · 1 Dec 2010, 14:33

In this case I'm on XP.
As for my plugin folder check your mail box
