What is the difference between this thread?

I'm confused to the similarity of these posts...

Hello

Can you please tell me what is the difference between ZoomView_dj and ZoomWindowSelect_dg plugins ?

I can certainly see some obvious differences in that the former allows us to select some viewing parameters (re: Styles etc) but I'm not sure if I'd want One Plugin OR the Other .. OR BOTH Plugins. PS> I'm using Caps for emphasis .. not shouting !

A brief description of the differences/comparisons and/or advantages of either would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance.
Furthermore, thanks for taking the time to and your skills to create Useful Plugins that you Share for Free.

The first ver is the main version. (the core)

v1.0 zoomWindowSelect = Zoom 1 + Zoom 2 ... (like a note pad level)

v2.0 zoomZoom = ((Zoom 1 + Zoom 2)* Tools+shortcuts)...(like a word pad level)

v3.0 ZoomView = (((Zoom 1 + Zoom 2)* Tools+shortcuts)* view+sytles+DislayDialog)...(like a msWord level)

Each level has its users.

The main reason for version 3.0 is to use less toolbar, context and menu resources space and expand the functionality of it's usages. By useing the inputbox drop down you have a private area menu that dos't get in the way of other plugins

When I up grade something it hard to get recognition to similar but different stand alone program, .... thus by threading a new post helps. ... also the old program can't be discarded because it maybe the most wanted to the users. Sometime bigger is not better.

Zoom.
v1.0 zoomWindowSelect = 3 level of zoom depth action,
zoom select, zoom orbit and zoom window. (simple) It's a 1 or 2 or 3 level depth action (nice)

Zoom + Tools
next ver 2.0 zoomZoom = I add tools return obtions (zoomWindowSelectv1.0) + 5ea different tool returns, lots of toolbar buttons now (not as easy)now depth action of 4, also gave tips about the use of keyboards for other return tools
it a 1, 2, 3 or 4 level depth action.(nice)

Zoom + Tools + views + sytles + display boxes(API Sketchup.send_action tools)
next ver 3.0 zoomView = I needed to get rid of usage of toolbar buttons so I pull back too one button, and a inputbox with one big zoomZoom drop down menu bar, default as zoomWindowSelectv1.0 with 12 other zoom zoom but it incease the work by couple of keyin. I needed to add views + sytles now to justify the keyins. also the API Sketchup.send_action tools had some input display boxs. Now menus.depth action is 7 but its not a 1-6 or 7 depth action friendly. (not good) I will fix this soon.

I would say these are different tools, you can zoomWindowSelect on all 3 version
but it not as nice as ver 1. but I must say v3.0 get rid of 2 standard toolbar
views + sytles and it put the zoom togather on one menu inputbox and one button toolbar.

Have some fixes coming to v3.0
