      If I understand ruby classes correctly, I have to rewrite the code, right ?
      I can't have something like layer.delete() while keeping it in my own namespace. Am I right ?

        Correct. Make a method under your own namespace that takes the layer as an argument.

        Not as pretty, but it'll work and it will be safe from clashing with anything else.

          Ok, here is a new version.

          • Added Toolbar and menu item (Window > Layers Panel), with toggle
          • Change things you TT told me : Undo, +operator, filename...
          • Deleting layers now work properly. The method is wrapped in my namespace. When a layer has geometry, you are promped to choose to delete the content or move it to the default layer.
          • Added a menu for some options. For now you can only purge layers.
          • I also don't have bugsplats anymore. Don't know why exactly... If people get some, please tell me.

          Still no saving, I'm getting used to ruby before attacking this big piece.

          Also, I can't get my WebDialog callbacks to work if the dialog is not in a global variable. I tried local, instance, and class variables, nothing works. What am I doing wrong ?

            Hmm, so a class variable in a class ? That makes sense ^^
            Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.

              I hope that naming the Class "TEST" didn't confuse you since the class name doesn't have anything to do with the variables (var test = true) in html. 😕

              I guess what i am trying to say is that the "var test" in html has nothing to do with "Class TEST" in ruby.

              Not sure if you are confusing them both but just in case. 💚

              Note: Will edit the name of the class on my last post to "PLUG".

                If you want to change something from ruby to web-dialog you can do this...

                In Html & Javascript:

                
                <html>
                   <head>
                      <title>Example</title>	
                   </head>
                
                   <body onLoad="startup(), stopwatch(this.value);">
                
                   </body>	
                </html>
                
                <script>
                var delay = 1000/5 ; #this will update 5 frames per second
                var timerID = false ; 
                
                var test = true ;  #this is the value you will change from ruby
                
                
                function startup() {
                nextFrame();
                }
                
                function stopwatch() {
                SD=window.setTimeout("stopwatch();", 100);
                }
                
                
                function nextFrame() {
                
                   try {
                
                      test = test
                
                
                      setFrame() ;
                
                      top.timerID = self.setTimeout("nextFrame()", delay) ;
                
                   } //try
                
                   catch (e) { 
                      alert("push_frame; " + e) ; 
                   }
                
                } //nextFrame()
                
                
                function setFrame() {
                url = 'skp;push_frame@' ;
                
                   url += '&test=' + test;
                
                window.location.href = url ;
                }
                
                </script>

                  Ruby uses 2 space indentation. HTML & Javascript 4 space indentation.
                  NOTHING uses 3 or odd number spaced indents !

                  I'm not here much anymore.

                    See this other post: Re: Webdialog scripting issues

                    Use local vars INSIDE methods as temporary variables. They get garbage collected when the method ends.

                    Use @@vars INSIDE modules or for class-wide access.

                    Use @vars in class instance methods (define and init them inside the initialize method.)

                    💭

                    I'm not here much anymore.

                        Only Python require a certain indentation - Ruby, HTML and JS doesn't care. It's just coding convention within the team/project you're working with.

                                    ToDo :

                                    • **Saving ! For now, every time you refresh the webdialog, or exit SU, the sorting/nesting disappears.**So it's useless as is.

                                    It will come. Just not now 😄
                                    It's obviously at the top of my todo list.

                                      I just wondered if you had ever seen this, it has some nice ideas, to take forward

                                      http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=162487#p162487

                                      I did some work on the mac version, but Chris and Jim had already done the tricky bits...

                                      john

                                      learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...

                                        Hey guys !

                                        I finally got a working version (See first post for download). It saves sorting/nesting (Except group hiding/collapsing)
                                        I still wouldn't recommand using it in production though, as it may produce bugsplats, and it still behave strangely with the undo stack.

                                        There are still a lot of bugs, so I need you guys to help me track them and getting methods to reproduce them.
                                        I updated the first post with what's working and what's not.

                                        I don't think it works on mac, though I'm not able to test...
                                        For now, I tested only on win7 SU2013 IE8-10, with no bugsplats so far.

                                        Feedback (about bugs or features) would be highly appriciated ! 😄

                                        Thanks
