Latest version for Mac?
-
What is the current build version for SU 8.0 on Mac? If I check for updates via the "Check Web for Update" item on the SketchUp menu, it tells me there is a newer version available for update. But if I follow that link and install the "update" it is the exact same 8.0.15157 that I had before. Is the update process broken?
Thanks
Steve[edit: somehow this got posted twice. sorry about that!]

The latest installer for OS X should be 8.0.16845.
Is the one on this site correct? http://www.sketchup.com/gsu8/download.html -

Is the one on this site correct? http://www.sketchup.com/gsu8/download.htmlThat's where I went, and after install it still says 8.0.15157. It seems to me that the install goes awfully quickly. Could something else going wrong? Is there anywhere that the installer would log errors?
Thanks

Did you completely uninstall the previous version?
(When I messed around with different installs in different locations, I sometimes got a wrong version number, like if it was caused by remainders of another install.) -

(When I messed around with different installs in different locations, I sometimes got a wrong version number, like if it was caused by remainders of another install.)No, because it didn't tell me I needed to. I'll try that next.
[edit: Just now I completely uninstalled SU (so far as I know how - moved the application folder to trash and emptied), then downloaded a fresh image from the Trimble site, and it still says it is 8.0.15157. Is there somewhere else that it could be leaving cruft behind that I need to clean up? I hate it when there is no clear-cut uninstall!]

SteveI just used Pacifist to examine the disk image I downloaded from Trimble, and the info.plist in the package says 8.0.15157. This makes me think that the problem isn't on my end!

I followed that link, downloaded the package (yet again) and inside it the Info.plist still says 8.0.15157. Are you downloading the free or pro? I wonder if just the free is broken?
Thanks

I downloaded 'free', knowing that's what you want...
and that clipping was from the contents info.plist (via Pasifist)maybe... Clear all SU downloads, I have had issues with it grabbing the previous version to auto open?

That was a different link from Aerilius's that I used...

johnIf by that you mean to Trash them, I did that. This is getting really spooky! Plus, it is also SU itself that proclaims 8.0.15157 after I try to wipe it completely (following the instructions on the Trimble site) and start afresh...

Yep - I followed the link you posted and still got 8.0.15157. How is that possible

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25114184/SketchUp%208.0%20Installer.pkgAlas, gone to 404 before I got there, but thanks for the try.
As an experiment, I downloaded from the Trimble site using a Windows box (selecting the Mac version of SU, though) and I still got 8.0.15157. I beginning to wonder if there is a network cache server somewhere holding onto an obsolete version?
[edit: the second time I tried, your package was there! Thanks! I'll let you know if it works!]

I can still get the dropbox download??
did you try download as, that should bypass any cache -

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25114184/SketchUp%208.0%20Installer.pkgThat package finally worked! Now I'm more convinced than ever that something between me and Trimble is caching an old version. I wiped Safari's cache, so that shouldn't have been it. Something really strange is going on, but now I have 8.0.16845 again. Thanks a ton!
