Sorry but it didn't work to me...
Any Update!?!?!

Looks more like an issue with SketchUp's installer feature... Can you install other plugins without problems?

TIG

Are you trying to install this RBZ file from a location on your computer - not the Internet

Do you have read AND write access to the 'plugins' folder?
NOT the 'user' one, BUT the main one in the HD folder tree...
If not then you can't auto-add files like this...

How about this different approach.
Avoiding worrying about 'id' etc...

You assemble a collection of every material display_name and name, sorted ['matnames'].
matnames=[]; model.materials.each{|m|matnames << [m.display_name.gsub(/[/\\?%*:|"<>.,']/, ''), m.name]} matnames.sort!

You decide on what to gsub out etc...

You then iterate that array to make another array of those materials ['mats'].
mats=[]; matnames.each{|a|mats << model.materials[a[1]]}

a[1] is the material's name used to access the material reference.

At this point each index in the two arrays' point at a display_name (as a[0]) and its matching material.
Now make the thumbnail images.
matthumbs=[]; mats.each_with_index{|m, i|p=File.join(tempfolderpath, i.to_s+'.png'); matthumbs << p; m.write_thumbnail(p, 128)}

AFTER all of the assembly, you might also want to thinkabout the '<Default>' material and always have that as item 0 in each array; e.g.

mathames=[['<Default>']]+matnames mats=[nil]+mats matthumbs=[pathToDefaultThumbnailPNGinMMsubfolder]+matthumbs
###I suggest that you make a standard PNG, unless you want to create one based on the real two default-materials' colors got from:
model.rendering_options["FaceFrontColor"] model.rendering_options["FaceBackColor"]
You can then write the PNG's [or BMP file] bits etc using those color's RGB values to match... [I think that thomthom has some snippets on that - try bitmap2mesh etc al - there's also some good stuff here https://practicingruby.com/articles/shared/oelhlibhtlkx ]

You now have three arrays of various 'matching' things to do with the SKP's materials, using the same indexing regime...

Now... you assemble the materials list for the dialog...
For example, the item under the dialog's index ' **3**', has a 'name' text-string taken from the matching matnames[**3**][0], and it displays the matching thumbnail-image matthubs[**3**], and that same index then used in mats[**3**] is the actual SKP material to be used when the Ruby does the changing, swapping etc... Because the item's 'index' is a simple integer, then converting to and then from a string, is straightforward in a 'callback', or whatever you use...

The same ideas would also apply to the 'component-definitions' - the only addition would be to separate the thumbnail images use say i.to_s+'**x**.png' for the components...

Bug fix version V2.1.1 released.

... CMD this should fix your problem also as the trace code that had the bug in is also now removed.

Myhand,

Good stuff! no more errors!

.... but I am not getting material thumbnails nor am I getting component images to display.

Is this due to the change for mac?

Sorry this took so long but have been in the middle of something else. Here is a debug version that will trace the file paths the Javascript code is trying to load into the ruby console. Same install procedure as before.

Please send me the console output.

Hi John, I suspect you have installed an older version. I have just rechecked the Material_Maintenance_thumbnail_dbg_01.rbz file (you can unzip it) and the above two puts have been commented out. You can check by looking at lines 106 and 111 in the Material_Maintenance/Material_Maintenance.rb file within the .rbz archive.

I used the SU installer to overwrite the old, but probably hit 'don't trust' in the setup dialog....
fresh instal
String Time = 6.0e-06 Total Entities = 0 null/Material2_150652410.png?1 String Time = 0.012297 Total Entities = 1063 null/Material2_150652410.png?2 String Time = 0.00685

I can help debug the images if you stop the width of you generated content autoresizing. or just PM instructions of where it's set so I can get a hook in for Web Inspector to check the paths.

BTW: I and Sketchup use ./tmp/* for temp file on mac, it's so simple....

Very interesting. I will add some more trace tonight. All the way through the call stack this time.

I use a JS library called qooxdoo. So I cannot just change the HTML as all the html is generated and the "container" locks it down. So I need to figure out how do it through library. I tried a few minutes to manipulate the HTML directly which did not work. Will take another look tonight.

Is there a reliable way to determine OS in Ruby then I can change temp directory to the above when run on a MAC?

Great plugin...I've needed something like this for a long time.
The labels on the UI are getting reduced, regardless of window size.
See attached image. Any idea why this is?
I'm SU8 on Windows 7.

I tried to reproduce this on one of my Windows 7 machines but the labels look fine. Which version of IE are you on?

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Ok thanks, I will try this next but would still like to see where the current version goes wrong. Do you mind testing the attached and sending me all the output again please?

seems to work, but I don't really use materials much, things like 'components that use this' are coming in blank, but that may be my test models fault. want to post a good working sample skp...

I also did a test and the images show in SU using set html and that path, there very small though...

dlg2.set_html(%q(<img src="file;////private/var/folders/rp/b9k42l5x7xngx_8tckgs0zdr0000gn/T/material_maintenance/Cladding_Siding_White_148435700.png" alt="test image" title="my test2" >))
dlg2.show_modal
true

also I should be promoting the Boolean darwin version check

# this is mac only!
if( !( RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /darwin/i) )
  UI.messagebox("This code is for Mac only!")

but which ever you choose add .show_modal as one off you mac conditionals...

Myhand,

Here is the ruby console output on launch of your latest MM_debug ruby:

tempPath = /var/folders/jt/x_n2z5n109n9v_qfj562bsc87bn_mb/T
@tempDir = /var/folders/jt/x_n2z5n109n9v_qfj562bsc87bn_mb/T/material_maintenance
/var/folders/jt/x_n2z5n109n9v_qfj562bsc87bn_mb/T/material_maintenance exists!!!
String Time = 4.0e-06
Total Entities = 0
UI => null/jean blue_173796570.png?1

Here is the output after Component option=checked + RE-LOAD Materials section

String Time = 0.006283
Total Entities = 485
UI => null/jean blue_173786390.png?2

Here is the output after a material from list is selected and List Components Containing Selected Materials is activated

UI => Temp dir = null

Are you sugesting I make the WebDialog modal? I have not set it as modal as I keep it open while working in the model. I flip between the model and the dialog often while cleaning up a model.

modal is different on a mac. lots of reference available via search

but you'll want a conditional for mac
if mac dlg.show_modal else show end
then it doesn't vanish on us...

OK thanks John. Will add it to the next bugfix release. Hopefully soon, if we can get the thumb problem sorted!
