[Plugin][Code]SKMtools,Material/ImageTools

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...

The Image and Material class extended methods will now only load if not already defined by SUp itself [==future-proofing since there's no medium-term hope of them doing this themselves?]. -

Material.class extensions - aliases added for save_thumbnail()==.write_thumbnail() and .delete==.remove. The .name='' and .delete methods now match SUp >=v8-M1 returned values.
To allow the methods to work in pre-v8-M1 SUp versions... with the new SUp method names / syntax. -

The 'aliases' have be slightly recast to avoid removing the new methods. -

The ImageTrimmer tool has an added option to 'flatten' the new materia's texture PNG [i.e. remove its transparency] so that it will then receive shadows.
Note that there is also a new jar FlattenPNG.jar that is used to do this. -

Here's a major update http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=293677#p293677
The MAC execution of the jar files has been addressed - it affects most tools/methods.
You need Java installed/enabled and appropriate permissions to execute files and read/write to the ../Plugins/SKMtools folder. On a MAC you might be prompted to allow a jar file to run - if so answer 'yes' - this should only get asked the once for each jar-type...

Hi!
Congrats on an amazing plugin, but there is one major issue I have.
When I decide to undo the previous action (Ctrl+Z or Edit->Undo), in the place where animation was I now have all pictures tiled next to each other.Thanks,
