      I did the following:

      • Set permissions for Plugins and all included files and folders to read/write/execute for everyone (had been read/write/execute for my account only)
      • Checked for images made about the start of the process - found one - "Article_I.png" - opened it in PhotoShop - it seemed to be identical to the png we are working on.
      • Moved all TrimmedImages folders to the trash
      • Copied the latest Article I.skip file to its own folder on the desktop and opened it in SU
      • Opened Ruby Console
      • Clicked the imported .png image in SU
      • Started ImageTrimmer
      • Waited a bit
      • Status bar message: "ImageTrimmer: Making 'Edges' files - please wait..."
      • Ruby console messages: aha! There's an error message:
      Error; #<Errno;;ENOENT; No such file or directory - /Users/myUserName/Desktop/imagesToProcess/TrimmedImages/C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I[Edges].dat>
/Users/myUserName/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;233;in `readlines'
/Users/myUserName/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;233;in `make_edges'
/Users/myUserName/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;186;in `process_image'
/Users/myUserName/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;163;in `initialize'
/Users/myUserName/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;760;in `new'
/Users/myUserName/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;760

      No file named "C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I[Edges].dat" is found in the TrimmedImages folder. There is one file in there at this time, called "C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I.png".

      from.ini contains:

      /Users/myUserName/Desktop/imagesToProcess/TrimmedImages/C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I.png

      to.ini contains:

      /Users/myUserName/Desktop/imagesToProcess/TrimmedImages/C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I
      • Ran EdgeDetector.jar - it worked! It added to files to the TrimmedImages folder:
        C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I[Edges].dat
        C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I[Edges].png

      I'm a coder myself (although not yet a Ruby coder) - I'm used to working with error messages. What does this tell us? Can I change something?

        I wanted to see if I could rule out Mac vs. PC issues, so I launched Windows in Parallels, a Windows emulator for Mac. I installed Sketchup on Windows and the SKMTools plugin. I moved the Article_1.skp file to My Documents, and ran ImageTrimmer. Here is the output from the Ruby Console:

        Error; #<Errno;;ENOENT; No such file or directory - C;\Users\Administrator\Documents\TrimmedImages\Article_I[Edges].dat>
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;233;in `readlines'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;233;in `make_edges'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;186;in `process_image'

          So for some reason you aren't getting the jar file to fire and make the Article_I[Edges].dat file ??? Is there a Article_I[Edges].dpng file getting made ????
          Did you check access rights to the ../Plugins/SKMtools folder and its contents were set as I explained ? 😕

            Yes - when I run ImageTrimmer from inside SU, it appears the jar file doesn't fire. As I noted in the post before last, there is no [Edges] file in the TrimmedImages folder after running ImageTrimmer. However, if I double-click the EdgeDetector.jar file, it works correctly, and the following two files are created:

            C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I[Edges].dat
            C__Users_TIG_Desktop_Article_I[Edges].png

            I have checked the access rights per your post.

              This a MAC OS issue... can you check your Java settings [Control Panel] so they allow 'jar' files to be executed as well as double-clicked... Sorry I can't be too helpful as I don't have access to a MAC...

                  I installed SU and SKMTools on my wife's Toshiba laptop running Windows 7. Running ImageTrimmer, I get the same error message in the Ruby Console:

                  Error; #<Errno;;ENOENT; No such file or directory - I;\imagesToProcess\TrimmedImages\Article_I[Edges].dat>
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;233;in `readlines'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;233;in `make_edges'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;186;in `process_image'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;163;in `initialize'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;760;in `new'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;760
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;233;in `call'
C;/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/SKMtools/ImageTrimmer.rb;233

                  As I mentioned, I'm a programmer too (although not in Ruby) and I'm used to working with error messages. Is there anything I can change here?

                    The computer's Java settings must allow jar files to run when called from a cmd/command terminal...
                    Most do... I'm no sure why both your PC and MAC don't 😕 😕 😕

                      Is there a setting on my wife's Windows machine I can change to allow it to execute .jar files?

                            I looked for the Java CP, didn't find it, and realized Java wasn't installed on the Windows machine! I installed Java, and ImageTrimmer worked perfectly.
