        Sounds like the file is corrupted as there is no reference to 'book' in it. πŸ˜•
        Get the file again and put the .rb file into the Plugins folder, and retry.
        Don't edit it with a word-processor or similar as this might corrupt it...
        The file is 'packed' and is unencrypted as it loads - I have no problems with it so you seem to have messed up something in the file's text itself ? πŸ˜•

        Have downloaded the file again and it works now!
        I noticed that the file I had yesterday had a big red "Rb" on the file icon thumbnail, but it doesn't today after I redownloaded it.
        I also tried other plugins yesterday and all seemed to get the same error message when loading and the big red Rb on their thumbnails, so it doesn't look like it was a single corrupted file. Weird.
        But it's all sorted now. Thanks so much:p

                i'd like to thank the author, Didier for this very useful plugin.
                i used to utilise the push/pull tool before. with this plugin, i could just do it on the line frames and one or two more clicks.

                thank you very much πŸ‘

                  Hi Didier and all.
                  I have just installed the Lines2tubes plug in. Initially I tried to use it and it crashed (of course before I had saved anything - auto save does not seem to work unless you have done at least an initial save). Then each time I tried to re:launch SU it would instantly crash. I also tried TubeAlongPath and pretty much the same thing happens. In each case it was fine once I had remeoved the plug in. Anyone any ideas? I am using a Macbook pro, with 10.5 and SU 8. I would love to be able to use the program as it would save a huge amount of time.

                  Thanks

                    Might it be the scripts are getting corrupted?
                    How are you downloading / installing them ?
                    DO you have other scripts that work OK ?
