        I've tried it again on a different computer and same result. Nothing.

        Just to be sure, I downloaded the .zip, double click, select extract all, browse to Plugin folder, extract all. Should I be doing anything else, or perhaps there is another file from one of your other tools that I am missing.

        Other thoughts would be,

        I may have a conflicting plugin

        or

        I have sketchup installed in the default location, ie: in program files.

        I just installed your other plugin, Manifold in exactly the same way and it works perfectly.

          Sahi / Box

          I think I have the cause...
          If there's an obscure script [that I don't know of] that loads before SKMtools_loader.rb and it has code outside of its methods that is permanently changing the current directory [ill-advisedly] then my method will fail when using ' Dir' [but not ' load']. Sahi's method [or something like it] will work as it uses an 'absolute' and not 'relative' path. To check what the current directory is after startup type Dir.pwd in the Ruby Console - it should return the ../Plugins/ folder where SKMtools_loader.rb resides - if not then we know something is changing the pwd.

          There's now an updated SKMtools_loader.rb file - please replace the one in the ../Plugins/ folder with this one, and retry. I have included this file in an update of the zipped set in the first post too...
          NOTE: more recent versions do NOT need/use SKMtools_loader.rb.
          Only install the files from the RBZ set...

                Here's an update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=293677#p293677
                It includes new methods:-

                Material.save_texture_and_thumbnail(folder)

                • saves Material's texture [if any] and its thumbnail [png] into a subfolder named after the material in 'folder' - returns that subfolder path or nil.

                SKM.save_texture_and_thumbnail(path_skm, folder)

                • saves SKM's texture [if any] and its thumbnail [png] to a subfolder named after the SKM in 'folder' - returns taht subfolder path or nil

                SKM.extract(path_skm, 'folder')

                • extracts all of the SKM's data into a 'hash': if the optional 'folder' is given the files from the SKM are extracted into a subfolder named after the SKM in 'folder'. All of the available SKM data is accessible from the 'hash', if 'folder' is given then the paths to the texture/thumbnail etc are accessible...

                ImageAnimator

                • new menu items 'Make_Unique' and 'Clone'.

                See individual tools threads for more details...

                    It appears that the version, ....3a.zip is missing two images for the last two menu items, make unique and clone.

                    Thanks for all of your work.

                      Ken, the two new ' ImageAnimator' tools ' Make_Unique' and ' Clone' should only have appeared in the View > ImageAnimator sub-menu as they are not that often used - the toolbar buttons were a result of a typo in my code 😳

                                IMPORTANT NOTICE!

                                There has been a lone report of these tools not working - with a '.jar' file 'opening' rather than 'running'!
                                Many of these tools use small Java '.jar' executable files that do specific tasks like zip/unzip and image manipulation.

                                I have found that I can reproduce this weirdness IF I let a 'zip/unzip' application like AlZip or WinRar 'poach' the '.jar' file-type as one that it will open. If so then when Ruby tries to 'open' a '.jar' file instead of it 'executing' in Java [like it should], it 'opens' in the decompression application...

                                The solution = look at your WinRar etc settings and ensure '.jar' is NOT one of its file-types for opening... πŸ˜’
