[Plugin] ToolbarEditor (1.1.2) – updated 08.06.2014

Aerilius

Can you right-click on the missing icons and get the image file path? Maybe some commands return an unusual file path?

Or it is a timing issue, maybe Fredo uses layz-loading techniques, or his tools take longer to load?

cmeed

im not sure how to do what you asked. right clicking the icons - in the toolbar? (nothing)
right clicking in toolbarEditor? (nothing in the menu that come up that looked familiar)

some of fredos icons work. is it possible to compare and find the answer?

I could not reproduce the problem with the same toolbar names (工具栏, 正常, 具) after restarting SketchUp and opening the toolbar editor. I will continue try.

I updated the webdialog with improvements for higher dpi settings.

hi Aerilius,
maybe fredo6's methord can solve the UTF8 issue. fredo6's plugins show Chinese very well.

What about these ones ?

After choosing yes I get this :

Are you sure you use the latest version?

I installed it from the scf plugin store and I thought it was the last version but it was not, now it works !

Thank you !

Andreas updated this toolset twice on the same day, so the second version was not automatically picked up... v1.0.6 will be added to the 'SketchUcation Plugin Store' shortly...

Andreas, here's a nice idea that I liked. That in addition to customize toolbar one could paste a snippet for a completely new command: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=52454&p=475992#p475990

This would be a great tool. You think this tool can be tweaked for that?

Can someone write a sample ruby script to make an icon for a native command that has no icon so I can use it to add the icon to a toolbar made with ToolbarEditor?
How do you delete an icon in a toolbar made with ToolbarEditor?

1 - which one?
2 - click on the icon and drag it slowly on the right panel
3 - click on the minus sign - top right of your toolbar header

Generically so I could modify it for any command

As in the API documentation… http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/developer/docs/ourdoc/command.php


cmd = UI;;Command.new("name of the command"){
  AuthorModule;;PluginName.name_of_the_main_method()
}
cmd.tooltip = "tooltip that describes the command"
cmd.status_bar_text = "text that tells how to use the command"
cmd.large_icon = "./path/to/a/icon24px.png"
cmd.small_icon = "./path/to/a/icon16px.png"

It still can only be used with understanding of what it does, and you would have to look up how a certain plugin is started.

It would probably be sufficient and much easier to edit the plugin's own ruby file, look for "UI::Command.new" and add the icons. The icon path can either be relative to the ruby file or absolute (to the system's root, ie. "C:/" on Windows).

Some plugins add themself only to the menu without creating a command. That looks like this:

UI.menu("plugins").add_item("name of the command"){ name_of_the_method }

and can be replaced by a command object (as above) plus

UI.menu("plugins").add_item(cmd)

Hello, could anyone help. I used this plugin with 2013 but it does not seem to work with 2014. I find it very useful, particularly as I use a mac and you can't stack the toolbars as you do on windows

many thanks

It throws a load error in SU2014

Aerilius

If you are curious, you can have a sneak-peak on the next version 1.1.0 with custom buttons. You will be able to create your own toolbar buttons for Ruby one-liners, code snippets or other things found on the forum.

fixed LoadError

Aerilius

Thanks, I fixed the load error.

BUT you haven't published it

It's on the previous page Tig, not the first post. It's a teaser/beta and the fix worked for me.

So the version in that mid-thread post has been updated - it was not clear...

function

I've noticed that this plugin takes a fairly long time to load all the icons at startup. Is there any other negative affects to performance?
