[Plugin] Layers Panel 1.2.1
-
Does not save group names
opening the panel, the group names reappear (Group1, group2, etc.).
More ...
We would like to keep the size of the panel as it was before it was shut down.
Great thanks.
Before it was listed all the names of the groups.
Thanks.

This plugin is really good. And intuitive. maybe because its so familiar (pShop)
I am losing my group names. no data lost but its happened a couple of times.
I'm looking out for the next time and will report ..cheers
cEDIT: every time i use "undo" the layer Group Name reverts back to the "Group1"- its original default name.
Anybody confirm this???
(all layer names within group stay the same) -
Sorry guys about the group names, I'll look into it.

EDIT: I'm not sure what happened but the layers have now appeared - it could have coincided with me importing an image but not sure
When you had the problem, did you restart sketchup after installing the plugin ?
If you manage to reproduce the bug, I would be glad if you gave me the intructions.@xkalvisx said:

Sorry, but that's a limitation of the API. Sketchup saves the dialog's size/position between sessions, but not during a session... Dumb, I know, but there's not much I can do.

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=54108&p=490389#p490389That's not really the purpose of the plugin, which is to manage layers, not the model's entities. Maybe one day I'll add this kind of features, but for now that's not my priority.

(all layer names within group stay the same)When you undo, the Layers Panel dialog reloads its content. So what you're seeing is related to the same bug everybody is having with group names.

If you manage to reproduce the bug, I would be glad if you gave me the intructions.Yes i restarted - they didn't appear right away! they appeared after i'd worked on the model for a bit. then i noticed. I'll keep my eyes open when next time the occasion crops up.
Great to see this Plugin. especially the "add layer visible only in this scene" - touch!!

If you have an old copy of the file that you didn't open after you installed Layers Panel, it would be great if you could PM it to me

Did you try disabling/uninstalling the plugin ?
-
everything was working well (the group names was the only thing) I was working inside a group outliner was open and then i got the bugsplat. I dont normally get bugsplats so its funny.
I didn't uninstall or do anything witht the plugin.did you mean to uninstall it and try opening the files? as I've tried opening themon my Mac (no "Layers {abel" plugin) and still not luck - It happened on my pc
opening .skb and .skp result with Unexpected file format.
-
I have had the same problem as cmeed. The unexpected file format. Luckily for me I had a backup or I would have lost the file.
Note, I have the plugin TIG: Archiver v2.0 which is a life saver.

Holy sh...
I'll try to reproduce the bug. That's a big problem if it corrupts files...
I'm so sorry, I hope you didn't lose your work.I'll add a warning in the first post.
-
cmeed, can you check if you still have the dump/log files produced by the bugsplat ?
-
I have started again (this time with archiver as cover)

Oh wow, this is truly a nice plugin. I wished that the standard layers toolbar worked this way. Now I want to install in on both my laptop and the desktop machine. This is one of the cleanest plugins I have used. Great work Jiminy. My top 10 now.

I have 4 layers that are in my template. I wanted to get this under a group, so I could turn all the layers off at once. They are xlines, markcenter, workplane and cline. When I try saving a template file, I get unexpected file format and the program closes. On trying to open Sketchup again, I get the failed to open template file. Sketchup open but not with the template file that I saved.
However, when I open the standby template file, saved as a regular file, and then try to save this file as a template with the name I used above, I get the file exist and do you wish to over write the file. So something was saved.
Just trying to keep you abreast.
