      It does say in the description of Organizer that sub-folders in the plugins folder needs to be excluded (because it assumes all sub-folders otherwise belongs to Smustard... 😕 )

      But I had no idea how that plugin worked. I was just somewhat aware it did something with the menus. So now I've been debugging, with my user who's also had to deal with this, for the last three days. I don't like the invasive behaviour of Organizer.

        Neither had I !

        There is also a mechanism for developers to easily exclude their subfolders so Organizer will not try to load the contents of those folders. This should result in a smoother experience for users, who won't have to contend with manually maintaining the excluded folders list in the SmustardOrganizerExcludeFolders.txt file.

        To do this: in your subfolder, create an empty text file called "exclude.txt" - that's it!
        I too don't like the way that 'other developers' [AKA most of us] are expected to avoid their sledgehammer.
        There are many tools that have subfolders of other files that don't auto-load...
        They never should be auto-loaded anyway !? Surely that must be up to loader-scripts or extension-loaders to decide... Why has RickW made it this way at all ?
        Have you messaged him ??

          Yea - as it is now it by-passes the Extension mechanism of Plugins. Unless they exclude themselves. Which is really not something he should expect a developer to do. It shouldn't be an opt-out system. How on earth is a developer expected to know about the behaviour of another plugin like that?

          I've not contacted him, no. I exhausted my computer time today debugging this.

            I'm puzzled why he made the Plugins folderstructure into the hierarchy of the custom menus... o_O

              Hi All!

              Sorry for posting this without first combing through the preceding pages. My anti-virus (Kaspersky) is going crazy over the tt_api.so file thinking it's malware. Anyone else encountering this? Didn't seem to bother anything up until just recently. Puzzling.....

              Thoughts?! Thanks in advance!

                Yes, there's been a few reports. Tell Kaspersky to leave the file alone. (And please also make a report to Kaspersky about the false negative. Some other users has already reported it, but maybe they bump up the priority if more people complain.)

                  maybe someone knows a way to disable the quarantine for one specific file inside Kapersky?
                  I didn't know the way to do that,
                  so took the radical decision to dump Kapersky
                  installed ZoneAlarm instead.

                    Hi All,
                    I'm fairly new to Sketchup, and am trying to install the Cleanup plugin - I have a current model that's massive and therefore causing problems in rendering plugins such as Lumenrt or Maxwell Render -
                    Could someone please walk me thru the install of the Cleanup plugin for Mac?
                    Any help would be appreciated - Thanks.

                      The subject has been covered repeatedly. I guess you could go through this thread and find it several times. Or you can look at the thread specifically on installing plugins.

                              Error TT_Lib - core.rb.pdfAfter far to much craches I had to reinstall Sketchup and my plugins.
                              I started with Fredo's AdditionalPlmuginFolders to keep it organized.

                              The plugin Selection Toys did not install properly:
                              1 ERROR: The following plugin had errors...
                              PLUGIN: tt_selection_toys.rb
                              FOLDER: D/.../Plugins 2013 01 12...
                              ERROR: no such file load -- TT_Lib/core.rb

                              TT_Select_Toys and TT_Lib2 are in the same folder: D/.../Plugins 2013 01 12...
                              TT_Lib2 includes core.rb (11 kB)

                              What went wrong?

                                  Ooooh... I thought Lib2 was an update of Lib. How wrong.
                                  Problem solved. Thanks a lot!

                                    No, it's a new version, but v2 isn't compatible with v1. Hence v1 is still possible to download. I know it's confusing, I might just bundle v1 with Selection Toys and be done with it, as ST is the only plugin that uses v2.

                                        Hi. I've downloaded TT_Lib2 as I want to use QuadFaceTools_0.6.0 in SU7.
                                        Do I need to install the TT_Lib2 folder with all 50 items that are in the TT_Lib2 folder into the Plugins folder?

                                        Many thanks

                                          If you're unsure on how to install the plugin I'd advice you to use this utility:

                                            I had a look at the link and it says the utility is for SketchUp 8M2 or newer
