Sketchucation Plugin Store VS Extension Warehouse
-
I'm having a hardtime switching from Skethchup 8 to Sketchup 2013.
It's been troubling finding wich plugins I used in Sketchup 8 that are available in Sketchup 2013 through extension warehouse. It's an headache to get all my shortcuts working again...
Double problem as I have aditional folders for plugins to better manage core plugins and trial plugins.
Of course when Sketchucation Plugin Store showed up I took the chance to tidy up everything. Now Extension Warehouse is messing my main folder plugin and doubling some of my plugins.
Is it wise to completely drop Extension Warehouse and stick to good old Sketchucation Plugin Store?
I could always download plugins that are not available here, and install them manually.

You can do an export/import of your shortcuts via window->system preferences->shortcuts

Doubling your plugins? Are you installing the same plugins from both the Extension Warehouse and the Plugin Store?
Even so, you shouldn't get double...
Maybe some files have ended up in your VirtualStore. If you go to the Plugins folder in Explorer, is there a "Compatibility Files" buttons there? (Not sure if the changed the name in Win8...) Or you can use this utility to check: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=48399

Bep,
That's a nice one. I should have looked better in that menu.
Thanks for the tip!
Thomthom,
Thank you for your time!
What I was doing was that I was trying NOT TO install plugins from both sides. But it's been hard and my 8 hours trial evaporated in the process. Fortunately I tried Layout first just to be sure it was worth it...
NOTE1: zoom closer, multiple copies and some patterns that don't fill walls don't seem enough.
NOTE 2: 8 hours for trial is too little, as there are a lot of things one has to test to make sure the transition will be smooth.Apart from that, I'm on Vista, and haven't got such button as "Compatibility Files". I can't check virtual store with your plugin right now because my trial time was over. I will try it after the process of uninstalling 2013 Pro so I can install SU Make instead, and
Anyway I think the problem has to do with double installed plugins in multiple folders, (I can even get toolbars with double icons). The fast and dirty process I had time to use so far was by managing plugins and extensions in Skechucation Plugin Store checking one by one wich ones were doubled.

In SU 8 you do have a Compatibility Files issue. Its the button called "Ficheiros de Compatibilidade". Click on that and it will take you to an alternate universe of files that should all be in the plugins folder. You should just be able to select all, and cut them (ctrl-x) then go back to the regular SU 8 plugins folder and paste them all in place.

What Chris said. You've become a victim of the VirtualStore.

I can do that in Sketchup 8, but I only had doubles on 2013.
So I'm a victim now! I feel terrible...
