Plugins at statup
-
I wonder if someone can tell me why some plugins toolbars start up when you open SU even after you closed them in the previous model.

There are three main 'toolbar visibility' settings.
Either 'always make it visible', or 'make it visible if it was visible last time Sketchup was used', or 'make it visible if it's a brand new toolbar' [i.e. for a newly installed tool].
Some authors' toolbars' code is set badly - to always open the toolbar, no matter what - it's not user friendly!
Most of us write the toolbar code the other way round...
Personally I write mine to be visible only if it was visible last time Sketchup was closed [i.e. if the user has switched it off, then it stays switched off!], OR with an Extension it makes the toolbar visible automatically when the Extension is first activated.
Which is simply
toolbar.restore if toolbar.get_last_state.abs==1 ###TB_VISIBLE/NEVER
[assuming the toolbar is referenced as 'toolbar'...]Make a note of the 'problem toolbars' and post in their threads, or PM the authors...
It's easily fixed...
