[Plugin] Purge All

[watkins]

Dear TIG,

Would it be possible for the 'report' to list what it has purged? At the moment it simply tells you how many of each type it has purged (6 components, 2 layers etc), but not what. I would find that option really useful when working on large models

Kind regards,
Bob

It would have to be into some 'log' file with the model - say log='Model-Purgelog.txt' which auto opens if you have 'Report' set. [That could extend to No|Yes|Log ]. It WOULD take more time as it needs to make a lists for each type purged - e.g. for components defsIN=model.definitions.to_a and then after the purge defsOUT=model.definitions.to_a, then find what's 'gone' defsGONE=defsIN-defsOUT, then find their names and add them to the 'log' with defsGONE.each{|d|file.puts(d.name)}... I'll think about it...

Here's v1.5 http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=82559#p82559
The Report option now has Yes/No/Log
If you choose 'Log' then as well as reporting the numbers purged in a dialog, it also writes a file called 'ModelName-PurgeLog.txt' into the model's folder [or 'Untitled-...' and in the 'default folder' if it's yet to be saved]: that file then auto-opens at the end - it lists the numbers AND the 'names' of each of the purged items...
All as Bob's [watkins] request

Dear TIG,

Thank you so much for making the changes. I will find the additions very useful.

Kind regards,
Bob

Dear TIG,

Just a quick note to thank you for the additions. The plugin is now definitely the dog's love spuds (translate that into Spanish).

Thanks,
Bob

I just saw this post, and posted a REQ which might be related to this:

It would be really useful to purge all models within a folder or a set of folders... (I believe it would save on tons of wasted space)

[thomthom]

Not a bad idea. I'd like to see all the models on the server purged. So many that are never purged... grrrr

[Jim]

Yeah, this project seems ideal for doing these batch operations... too bad no one is working on it.

I just downloaded it tried it works well, but is the report saved somewherw?, or is the dialog box after use, the report?

With the latest version [v1.5] by default with 'Yes' you get the brief 'report' on-screen [or with 'No' just does it with no reporting]; but if you select the third option at the end of the dropdown list - 'Log' - then as well as the on-screen 'report' a detailed file named 'ModelName_PurgeLog.txt' is made with the model, listing all of the changes that it has made... This log-file opens automatically on completion [at least it does on a PC - but probably not on MAC ? (untested)]. Note that if you haven't saved the 'new' SKP then this 'log' goes into the 'current working directory' with the prefix 'Untitled_'... Its changes are one-step undo-able...

Buenas Noches, he intentado bajar el purge all y mi computadora no abre la extension.rb, alguien me puede ayudar. Mi Sketch se cierra a cada rato y no me deja bajar componentes. Gracias.

I don't understand you completely.
Do you know how to install plugins ?
Download the PurgeAll.rb file from here http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=82559#p82559
and put it into the Sketchup Plugins folder.
When you restart Sketchup it should load a new item in the Plugins Menu ' Purge Unused...'.
It does not call or load 'extensions.rb' at all - but it does require 'sketchup.rb' which in turn might do this...
The following files MUST be in the 'Tools' folder [there might also be other files depending on what you have installed] - if there are copies or older files in the 'Plugins' folder it will cause problems - some old rogue zipped sets of files mistakenly included some files which get put in the wrong place.
Sketchup automatically makes these 'system' files in ' Tools', older ones mistakenly located in Plugins can load before these and then it can break Sketchup.

sketchup.rb extensions.rb dynamiccomponents.rb langhandler.rb sandboxtools.rb shadowstringsfix.rb SolarNorth.rb

*Yo no te entiendo perfectamente.
¿Sabe usted cómo instalar plugins?
Descargue el archivo desde aquí PurgeAll.rb http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=82559#p82559
y ponerlo en la carpeta Plugins de SketchUp.
Al reiniciar SketchUp que se debe cargar un nuevo elemento en el menú de plugins " Purge Unused​..." [Purgar no usados].
No llamar o cargar 'extensions.rb' en absoluto - pero que requiere 'sketchup.rb', que a su vez podría hacer esto ...
Los siguientes archivos DEBEN ESTAR en la carpeta ' Tools' [Herramientas] [también podría haber otros archivos en función de lo que usted ha instalado] - si hay copias de edad o más archivos en la carpeta ' Plugins' puede causar problemas - algunos juegos antiguos rebeldes de cremallera archivos por error incluyen esos archivos que se ponen en el lugar equivocado.
Sketchup realiza automáticamente los archivos de estos "sistemas" en ' Tools' [Herramientas], los más viejos por error en los plugins localizados puede cargar antes de que éstas y, a continuación se puede romper Sketchup.

[TIG]

If you have permissions to add files to your Plugins folder...
Properties > Security > Edit... FULL for all listed...
And you have indeed installed it properly...
When you restart SketchUp the tool should now appear appear in the Plugins menu - there is no 'button' unless you have a 'doctored' version that adds a toolbar...

If you have v2013 why not use the Preferences > Extensions > Install... button to install any RBZ format plugin downloaded from the SketchUcation PluginStore...
http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore?pln=PurgeAll
http://sketchucation.com/resources/pluginstore
Or why not get/use the SketchUcation Plugin Store toolset and then you can AutoInstall plugins from within SketchUp automatically.

Now there's no need to mess on manually installing plugins - provided that you have FULL permission to the Plugins folder

There's a new version available from the PluginStore.
It contains some 'future-proofing'.
The log-report format is also improved.
It is now ready for the next generation of SketchUcationTools etc...
