Problem with SU

thomthom · 15 Jun 2011, 12:21

I'm not seeing those kind of entries at all...

TIG · 15 Jun 2011, 12:37

I have virtually the same set up as you ?
I tried removing them all from the registry list - even those without duplicated BarIDs - and Sketchup still loaded fine
Then I re-saved the toolbar settings, and exited Sketchup... but no new entries were added to the registry ??
I must conclude that my v8 'Toolbars-' entries were somehow left over from an earlier version ???
Or does Sketchup have an occasional hiccup and make some
Weird ?

I have no idea - I've not seen those entries on any system/computer where I've looked.

This is weird, now, parts of my toolbars just seem to vanish, in this example, ATViews, TOS, Fredoscale and Sandbox have all gone weird .... Needs a reboot/redock for them to reappear ....

Hi,

I had also a lot of these registry entries in Sketchup Sketchup 7 and 8. ThomThoms "Reset SketchUp Toolbars" worked fine for me but after use you have to rearrange the toolbars. Now all is clean.

Oops, after re-arranging the tool bars the registry entries are present again in 7 and 8. In Sketchup 8 i have some additional entries.

TIG · 15 Jun 2011, 20:09

I think the extra entries are to do with remembering the toolbar settings ??

Aye - the ToolbarsUserCustom entries are new to SU which it uses to restore toolbar settings.

Still following....though lost.

Is this turn of events a good or bad thing?

Sorry chaps, just a little bump for this. Is there any reaosn why I should lose my toolbar icons at all?

Dave R · 15 Jun 2011, 21:43

Did you do anything to your Plugins or Tools folders? I ran ThomThom's bat file on my computer at work but had no trouble when I put the toolbars back. All the icons were present and accounted for.

thomthom · 16 Jun 2011, 06:21

You should not loose any icons no.
Do you mean you get the toolbars, but with missing icons? Or missing toolbars?

leedeetee · 16 Jun 2011, 07:42

Sorry for being unclear, I meant icons within the toolbars. Turned computer on this morning and it seems fine however!

thomthom · 16 Jun 2011, 08:02

When you browse to your plugin folder - do you see a "Compatibility Files" button?

Sorry, do you mean via Windows Explorer? (C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins) If so, no.

it works ! after execute the command my toolbars blast!
now my sketchup starts faster more than before and then i rearrange the toolbars.
thank you.

THIS FIXES THE ISSUE! ThomThom saves the day once again. Hopefully Trimble fixes this as a bug.

Use at Own Risk!!!
This is a couple of batch commands I use to clear the toolbar registry. It has worked for me - but I put a word of caution anyway; use at own risk.

Activate the one corresponding to your SketchUp version.

I had to change the content of the batch-file to (Windows 7-64):

"c;\Windows\System32\reg.exe" query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8" /f "ToolbarsUser" >> reg_keys.txt

for /f %%k in (reg_keys.txt) do (
    "c;\Windows\System32\reg.exe" delete %%k /f
)

(I found 4539 entries, who has more ? )

[code]"c:\Windows\System32\reg.exe" query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8" /f "ToolbarsUser" >> reg_keys.txt

It was made on Windows 7 64bit...
It's using relative path - I see you used a full path. Seems like there's something odd about your PATH environment variables...

I've had double that... After a session of longer debugging a toolbar problem.

TIG · 9 Aug 2012, 14:19

Mine last cleared out at over ~1800 toolbar entries - and it had been crawling !
After a lot of debugging of scripts/toolbars/extensions etc it does grow alarmingly...

You must have been waiting forever for it to startup !

I have a cmd that removes all toolbar guff and extensions too.
It reduces startup time by a factor of 4 or 5 after it's run and I reinstall the extensions/toolbars I need !!
