Haven't had any chance to play with this...
But the bug I reported previously is identical to what Bob James have reported above...

Will fix that asap

@Pilou: what a bunch of toolbars you have there !
compoSpray dialog box is 900 pixels (height) without scrollbars, that's right.
Isn't your screen more than 900 in height ?

Yes but
I have my screen 1024*768 !!! (15 inch)
You have some free lines empty in your dialog box

How do you see everything at such a small size?

1024x768 screen with IE6 and SU6?

Most time with Firefox, Opera... but also IE6 rarely
Why? That is forbidden?
I have no case where I can't see a Su Project!
(saved in SU6 of course)
Scrolling and zoom are my friends

Internet Explorer 6 - yes - it's forbidden.
Webdialogs under Windows makes use of the Internet Explorer installed on the computer. So Webdialog issues with IE6 is quite probable to occur.
You had problems with Vertex Tools's dialogs due to that, didn't you?

[pilou]

I make some mouse scroll (if possible ) and zoom when necessary
Generally is some sufficient

[pilou]

yes, so in this extrem case I take an another computer, but only for the modern plugins like yours

Hi Again,

Is there any way to get this plugin working for me? As you can see I've got a lot of trees, so it'd be great to avoid doing this manually again in the future.

Thanks for all your help so far.

Below is ThomThom's assessment of the issue.

Does this not work on a Mac the same way than on a PC ??

As you see in his error report, the plugin is trying to look for the file at:
/Users/Fraser/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/CompoSpray
while the plugin itself is located under:
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/compoSprayToolbar.rb:14

OSX has a system Library folder and a User Library folder that looks very similar, and some users end up adding plugins to User Library. And I think Podium installs there.
And then you can get issues with Sketchup.find_support_file

The best way to determine the base path of your supporting folders are:
File.dirname(__FILE__)

In your case it'd be:
@path_cs = File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/CompoSpray/"

However, that won't work in .rbs files.
In Vertex Tools I made the uncrypted loader, which was a regular .rb file, determine the paths and assign it to constants which the .rbs files could use.

I've never had any path issues that way, and the plugins can be installed anywhere on the system. (if the user prefers to install in a custom location.)

if { mx_hidemanager.rb (C) 2010 by Henry Schorradt } this plugin was loaded,
when set [Allow Collision] no, run CompoSpray
SU8Pro crashed.....

Does anyone have a solution for the problem which Pilou posted earlier? I have a 15" HP Laptop running windows 7, with Google Sketchup 8 -

I'm a Landscape Architecture student, so spraying trees rather than placing them individually would be an absolute godsend. But if I can't get to the bottom of the screen, I can't do much. I've tried using the 'tab' key to get to the 'spray' icon, but it doesn't seem to work (though tabbing over to the 'close' icon does. Arg.

768 pixels is the maximum height on my monitor.

Hi,
I'll release an update soon with settings for low res screen that will set up scrollbars and modal/non modal dialogs. Easy and quick translation files will be supported as well.

Hi Didier,

Thank you for this plugin.

I have a question. I have two entries in the Draw menu, Components and Component Spray. But I do not know what I can delete in the plugins folder. Can you help me please.

Problem solved!

I have found it. It is the compo_spray.rb.

Charly

[Didier Bur]

Yes compo_spray.rb was an older version. Never have more than one install at a time

[arjunmax09]

component spray doesn't allow spraying while editing inside a group..how can i do that...??...i have to copy paste the sprayed components inside the group separately...

[Didier Bur]

Hi,
@arjunmax09: of course you can spray while editing a group or component: double-click on the group/component, click the compoSpray icon and here you go.

[arjunmax09]

yes....i also tried at my home pc..it worked fine...i was working at my groupmate's place on his pc when i posted this question..there i wasn't able to do so I haven't downloaded this version yet...i.e. the 8th jan 2011 version...

[charly2008]
