[Plugin] LaunchUp – A Quick Launcher for SketchUp

TBA · 31 Mar 2013, 09:39

Hi Aerilius,

this 1.0.2 version works on mac now !
(but the LaunchUp-Option dialog pops up empty and white like in the version before)

And there are two more issues
1_
The number of suggestions I can type in the preferences shows time the same result of 10.
No matter if I type in 25 or whatever -> the results have a number of 10 only!

2_
The "dialog stay after execute a command" isn´t working.
After enable this -> the next time is unable like before.

Additional note:
The LaunchUp window fit to the smallest state if enabled LaunchUpagain, but only after executing a command. After then, I must drag it out (make it bigger) manually to see the last results and preferences button/field.
If I look only in the preferences and close these -> next time I enable LaunchUp again -> the dialog shows the preference button line and the last results.

Hope you can fix this all also

Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Caronte,
thank you for the translations!

A toolbar usually has icons and not text. In the screenshot, the history's style is set to "toolbar" and text that you see is rather a "fallback" for plugins that don't have an icon. You can change the style of the history to something else with icon + text by typing "LaunchUp Options"
I'll look how I can optimize the toolbar style to display better readable text without breaking the layout of a toolbar. Any ideas are welcome.

Hi Thomas,
thanks, I have already received your PM, and have begun working on some changes that could maybe improve it on OS X. Though at the moment, the sun is shining (maybe the first time this winter) and it's not so easy to test without owning a mac.

Aerilius

Thanks, that fixed the issue. One thing is that behavior preferences are not saved between sessions, or even between closing and opening the launchup window

Hi Aerilius,

thanks for all your work !

I hope you enjoy the sun in Germany/Kaiserslautern also for the next days

Best regards from Hamburg,

Maybe add a load trap if one package is missing - display a better error message?

thomthom · 5 Apr 2013, 09:34

Finally got around to try out this gem.

But I'm a little puzzled by the search results some times. It appear to include results not matching my search.

Aerilius · 5 Apr 2013, 12:16

What package missing?

At the moment, the search is a bit too tolerant (ie. it gives abbreviations too much weight, like "S… and"). Today evening I'll have a new version ready.

In my case I was a bit quick in getting started and didn't install the command package. I didn't RTFM.

Great work! I can now peaceflly remove making that exact plugin from my TODO list

notareal · 7 Apr 2013, 10:36

This has a great potential.

I updated the plugin to version 1.0.4:
• I added Chinese and Spanish translations (thanks to caronte01, 麦兜 and 双鱼)
• the options should not break anymore with invalid input
• the webdialog resizing is better on OS X
• the search gives now significantly better matching results
• Fredo's tools didn't get into the index, now they are there

lionk · 8 Apr 2013, 04:04

may be 2 problems?
the Apply & Cancel buttons of LaunchUpOptions webdialog have failed.
the Search dialog size adjusted to min_width incorrectly sometimes.

Aerilius · 8 Apr 2013, 09:55

Thanks for noticing that! The dialog reloaded instead of closing.

1.0.5 version of the search function does not work！

thomthom · 8 Apr 2013, 11:23

Same thing. I get no search results. No errors in Console or anything.

Hi Aerillus,

I´ve installed the new 1.0.5 update and the plugin won´t work anymore on mac os x 10.8.3

The plugin is loaded, but nothing happens with the the search -> no results !!!

The preferences button (left button) is now called "option" like the other other option button (right button). ??!!
Also the (older called) option window -> after clicking -> is pop up with a empty white sheet as in the versions before.

Hope you can fix this soon, or have a older version to download.
For now, there is only the 1.0.5 version, which has replaced the older ones in my SU by installing.

Best regards,
Thomas

hm... 1.0.6 worked - but only after I erased the old version and installing cleanly over it.

When searching I get errors in my console. My "Scale Group Definition" suddenly generates errors. Is the validation procs being called? It's like it's getting nil references.

thomthom · 8 Apr 2013, 13:08

It'd be nice if pressing ESC while the search box was open would close it.
