why not just let it update?

I am romantic, attached to the old things!

For 99 % my old one is sufficient!

I don't see any major advantage to install new things ... except for launch your very elabrated plugins

For this if needing i can use other modern computers!

Thomas, this is very cool. I'm using it on my MacBook Pro with 10.6.8 with no problems.

So my message box warning is just an annoyance then...

Dave R · 20 Feb 2013, 14:59

It doesn't bother me that much.

It may cause crashes later. I haven't used it that much.

thomthom · 20 Feb 2013, 15:10

I'll let it be like this for a while and wait for the mayhem.

Dave R · 20 Feb 2013, 15:41

Be sure, I'll let you know.

Ben Ritter · 20 Feb 2013, 19:32

Thomthom, a very appreciative thank you.

Dave R · 20 Feb 2013, 21:04

Thomas, I played with it a little more on my Mac and the only thing I can find is the close button doesn't do anything. No biggie for me. I'm flexible and can close it with the X button at the top left.

hm... that's odd. Anything in the Ruby Console?

like if I made a commercial plugin where a significant amount of users has older systems.

Seems another friendly systems than IE exist for old computers or it's the same?

Close button works for me.

10.6.8

Dave R · 21 Feb 2013, 09:35

I'll check when I get back on my Mac later this morning.

I'm bummed I can't use it on my PC but I understand why.

XP still.

I'm planning to build a new machine this spring and will move up but so far XP hasn't been a problem for me.

And XP is IE8 only or something?

Dave R · 21 Feb 2013, 10:26

At least not IE9. I haven't opened IE for several years so it hasn't been kept up to date even as far as it would go in XP.

Aerilius · 21 Feb 2013, 11:56

I think it's worth and doable to keep compatibility with XP's last browser (only functionality-wise, of course not necessarily CSS and other extras).

thomthom · 21 Feb 2013, 12:06

Well, it might work functionally in IE8... I haven't tried - because I don't have the time.
The Requirements I posted for this plugin was the minimum I tested against.

Dave R · 21 Feb 2013, 12:07

Could be Aerillius.

Thomas, I just tried again on my Mac and this time the Close button worked. I don't know why it didn't yesterday. Is there any possibility of some sort of time out? It was a number of hours after I initially tried the plugin and reported it worked before I got back to it again. I had left SketchUp and your plugin open all that time.

I'll watch it and see what I see.

Do you want the dump to the console anyway?

As for the XP thing, don't go to any trouble for me at least. I can manage for as often as I need 3D text.

thomthom · 21 Feb 2013, 12:10

There is an issue with WebDialogs under OSX where the window needs to get focus before any actions will respond. So if it hadn't the focus, and you clicked inside the window - the first click should have given focus to the window where the second click would have worked.

That's all I can guess. There is no timeout.

About the console - did you get errors?
