The plugin should have just used English ...

OK I found the error.

It was me:

VisTools.rb: line 95
@@lang == 'en' %(#008000)[# just use English]

should be making an assignment:
@@lang **=** 'en' %(#008000)[# just use English]

'tupid booboo!

I'll make changes and push an update.

I have installed vistools with ThomThom's install plugin,
but I get these startup errors:

These errors are not caused by VisTools.

VisTools has NO html files, and therefor NO <!DOCTYPE> nor <META> tags,... so the errors are caused by ThomThom's installer in some way. (But may be meaningless.)

Restart SketchUp... see if VisTools runs normally after a restart.

I have never used ThomThom's installer tool,... NOR DID I EVER SAY VisTools was compatible with it!

I recommend using the built-in "Install Extension..." button on the Extensions panel of the Preferences dialog (via the Window menu.)

sorry to have upset you, I am only asking for help

Thomthom's install pugin has always worked fine for me

I have restarted Sketchup several times, to no avail
I deleted the intrepidBear folder,
the errors remained

I then reinstalled the plugin through the built-in "Install Extension..." button on the Extensions panel of the Preferences dialog (via the Window menu.)
the error messages still remained,
I could not find the menu bar, the plugin was not working

I deleted the intrepidBear folder again,
now the errors still remain
is there anything else I shoud delete?

might it be that there is a conflict with TIG' s selectionhideshow.rb ?

??

That's just bizarre. This Vistool is an RBZ, right? The Simple Installer uses the API to install RBZ so it should be the same as Install Extensions from the UI.

No idea what produces that.

Looks like the content of the .rb file is HTML ... ? :s

Tried re-downloading?

Have you looked at the content of the .rb file? Can you upload it for inspection?

thomthom · 14 Jan 2013, 14:29

Sorry, I was thinking of the .rb file.

hygicell · 14 Jan 2013, 14:30

here is the .rbz file

hygicell · 14 Jan 2013, 15:04

there's more than one inside the folder
I guess you mean load_vistools.rb in plugins folder

load_VisTools.rb

thomthom · 14 Jan 2013, 15:06

That file looks fine.
Can you try without Additional Folders?

hygicell · 14 Jan 2013, 16:22

I don't really understand what you mean

thomthom · 14 Jan 2013, 16:30

Your errormessage show that you use the plugin Additional Folders by Fredo. http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=39073

Can you disable the plugin and see what happens when SketchUp loads the files without Additional Folders?

hygicell · 14 Jan 2013, 18:38

I have searched for the plugin and can't find it anywhere
it appears to be loaded (see attachments)
it is all a big puzzle for me

Looks like you got some files stuck in Windows' VirtualStore.

Utility for inspecting it:

hygicell · 14 Jan 2013, 20:47

done!
here are the results,
looks to me as if all or parts of the plugins folder is in virtualstore
even all program files
what should I do?

thomthom · 14 Jan 2013, 22:16

First of all you should move them into your real Plugins folder and clean up what you might not need. I see two instances of madefaces for instance.

You probably want to change the permissions of the Plugins folder so you have proper access to it from your user account.

hygicell · 15 Jan 2013, 08:25

you've done it !
problem completely solved!
thanks again, Thomthom
