Tool Palettes problem (SU for Mac)
-
Hi Guys,
I was trying to find how to solve this problem, but I couldnt.
Sketchup pro 2013 Mac version, I have instaled some plugins(scripts) and placed their tool palettes on the screen, BUT when I open sketchup all plugin's tool palettes gone and I need to place them again.
Is there a fix for this problem?
Thanks for help.

Hi ArtPen,
I have the same problem and I can't find anything in the Web. I think there is important that SketchUp fix this kind of problems because I always waste a lot of time open and open again the palette tools ...

Yes this is a royal pain in the ass. I always launch sketchup, close window and then open new. In mac talk that's cmd w & cmd n. If you want to open a specific file it will work the same way cmd o and navigate to it. Or just simply double click it when the app is running. There is no need to keep adding tools to the toolbar. This should have been fixed in the last update it's a no brainer.

I do the same and yes, it is a pain.
This problem has been present in SU on the Mac for a long time. Despite prior complaints here on sketchUcation, the programmers have not done anything about it. My best guess is that the initial window opens automatically before the Ruby plugins are loaded, which makes it impossible to put those tools on the initial toolbar.

i think this post is referring to another problem which has popped up for some users.. that is, they're talking about all toolbars are exhibiting this problem-- not just the top toolbar.. so instead of needing to open a new window in order for the icons to appear, they have to go View->Tool Palettes and turn them on one-by-one (since you can't turn on/off multiple toolbars at once).
here's another thread which discusses it:

Ah! No doubt you are correct. But I bet the cause is related…different sequence of startup processing than on windows.

I moved my tool pallettes to the top bar to alleviate the problem lol only to find the same problem exists. This should be fixed immediately. Unless they cannot, its also a pain when sketchup crashes. When sketchup relaunches it takes its time to open the previous file without toolbars argghghhhhghghghghgghhhhhhh the horror.
