      TIG,

      I just installed the latest version but I am getting the blank toolbar. In looking through the script I see what looks like the path to the PNGs shown as below. The icon folder is called "toggle_units_icons" but I wonder if it or the script should be modified. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place and have a different problem.

      cmd = UI;;Command.new(Strings["Decimal"]) { toggle_units(5) }
      cmd.small_icon = "CD_ICONS/TWEAK/tudec16.png"
      cmd.large_icon = "CD_ICONS/TWEAK/tudec24.png"

        You are right πŸ˜’ - I copied the files over without looking at then [I didn't use this tool at all]
        I've now updated the zip http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=81391#p81391 so that it has the correct folder specified for the icons !

          Thank you, TIG. I'm amazed that I sorted out the problem correctly. I must be learning from watching you.

                Hi all.
                Plugin updated with a new tool (Toolbar manager): You can now choose icons you want to display in the toolbar.
                Thanks to Thomthom and TIG!

                    Hi Mat,

                    on my mac if I instal this correctly and open SU

                    Unless, I use the manager, make a change and then quit

                    SU actually crashes when I close a window and I get a report dialog.

                    When I remove this ruby, everything works as it should, if put it back again problem returns.

                    it make no difference if I use or don't use the plugin, only if it's installed.

                      Hum Thomthom told me I had to use 'show' with windows and 'show_modal' with mac... I think this is the problem (because i completely forgot this!). I'll take a look soon thank you!

                        Hi Mat,
                        It actually seems to be something to do with the preference settings, which SU sends to the .plist on Mac.

                        .show and .show_modal never cause crashes, it's just the dialog disappears under the main window.

                                        Hi.
                                        I don't think it's a Lion issue... per say

                                        on the mac the MF_UNCHECKED MF_CHECKED just doesn't work to your advantage, and after a few wrong combinations, it stops switching the screen text, although console says it's working.

                                        if you run it with RC open you can see that your better off re-clicking the currently selected first, to turn the shadow off, then changing. it's a drag, but SU enabled the native buttons behavior to latch and when it also coded to latch....

                                        the mac native SU button code needs to be modified, then we can have buttons the toggles, like 'some' native SU ones that were set up correctly.

                                        as a stop gap I changed the MF_CHECKED to MF_UNCHECKED, which sightly reduces confusion.

                                          Well, no luck here on OS X Lion, with v 2.11
                                          Only the first 4 icons and the 2 setting the precision work; And the greyed out icons stays on when it should go out.

                                            no the native setting will still shadow the buttons as if selected, the light greying seems to work, until it/you gets confused,

                                            it only works on unavailable options, so maybe the fractions/decimal triggering could be modified to make it more intuitive...

                                            I just turned off Fractions and Arch and Use ENG in either metric or imperial, but with decimals only.

                                            I understand fractions, but not the use of them.... although they should run faster with binary conversions....
