      this is new: (on mac at least):

      Screen Shot 2013-05-24 at 3.38.23 PM.png

      we used to not get a warning.. the app would just quit.


      we still don't have thumbnails of the files but at least the updated generic icon is better than the one with v8.. (for whatever reason, it seems easier for me to pinpoint when i have a lot of other file types in the same folder.)
      suicon.png

      fwiw, i like all the new icons.. not just the ones in the app.. moreso all the icons at the ext.warehouse.. they look nice..
      is someone on the suTeam pumping out hundreds of icons or smthng? or are the ruby devs making their own? (well, some are obviously coming from the individual developers but for the most part, it looks like there's a fairly consistent look/style going on ) ?

        Yup, all the ruby developers are making their own, and doing a fine job of it I think too.

          Something I do find to be a pain is the lag between selecting a new tool and the tool being ready to use. There is a significant lag and not something I have had before. V8 does not act like this. Only twilight render plug in so far so it should not be that but, note sure to be honest. Not something I will fret over but it does nag a bit.

                I stand corrected, yes, golden-yellow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron_(color I was looking at the image!

                  Many Buddhist monks wear robes that are dyed with saffron... and they vary from an ocher to a deep red.
                  I expect that the various herbs used in combination with it affect the final coloration.
                  Saffron in its 'raw state' - after it has dried is a similar red.
                  But the original crocus stamens are amber/ocher when first picked.
                  [AND worth more than their weight in gold!]
                  Food goes the amber color when it's infused with saffron during cooking...

                        Let's be honest here -- where is your (a general shout to Trimble here) pride in your craftsmanship? You create software, if your software is not worth upgrading that is your fault, not the fault of the consumer. You should bear the financial burden of that failure, not the consumer.

                        Credit on that point mate! Very good analogy!

                          Okay so SU 2013 is out and live, what are we gonna do at base camp 2013? I know there will be one as they said so last year. Normally base camps are the venue to reveal new versions, at least it has been in the past.

                              That's another reason to suspect that we might see a significant update later this year.

                                      Windoze Mike, nothing I can see explains it, I could do a reinstall and see if it is just a blip.

                                        imo. we have 3 versions(2 are secret): current - 2013 and 2014-2015 which will be to release during skipy will be in Trimble hands and under customer supporting.

                                          I'm quite disappointed too when i found out that what we've got in 2013 is just new icons for sketchup aside from extension warehouse nothing has changed in sketchup interface, though most of the changes were found on Layout. But i was expecting that there will be just little changes in skp 2013 because Trimble had acquired sketchup for just a year but not just changes in icon looks and additional sketchup people component was i was expecting.. I expected now that i can create a dynamic geometry where i can add geometry in an basic object like box, sphere, etc..

                                            hmm. i'm thinking if that capability was added to the toolset (and nothing else), we'd see even more griping about 2013 than we're now seeing ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                            don't get me wrong.. i also feel there are some very basic or fundamental changes/additions that can (should) be added to the toolset but creating solid primitives is not one of them.. i mean, the beauty(?) of sketchup is it's simplicity and solid primitives are very easy to make with the current toolset (granted, after the user gets somewhat of a grip on the app)..
                                            in my opinion, at the basic/fundamental level of geometry tools, sketchup needs to be able to handle arcs better.. be it the creation of, transformation of, intersections, and most importantly - the arc entity itself should be 'smarter' when it comes to creating subsequent geometry off of.
