      TIG, The __loader.rb does exist in the .../FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/ folder and has it's permissions set to -rw-r--r-- and all other *.rb files have the same permissions.

      Fredo, The __loader.rb file does contain the line:

      Traductor::Plugin.myplugin('FredoTools').effective_load

      ...and nothing else.

      If I rename the 000_AdditionalPluginFolders.rb file the error appears to go away, which seems like an acceptable workaround. I am unable to use WebDialog for that add-on for somereason. All other WebDialogs are working, but that one just displays raw HTML, but does not generate any exceptions other than when FredoTools is loaded, curious.

      Thanks,

      Tom

        Fredo,

        I stand corrected renaming the 000_AdditionalPluginsFolder.rb did not resolve the problem, but it did expose a different/extended message:

        Error Loading File C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/__loader.rb
        can't convert nil into String
        Error Loading File ZLoader__GhostComp.rb
        can't convert nil into String

              Very strange.
              Can come from 2 possible causes:

              1. MaxwellFire modifies the SU model and the texturing (does it?), and then ThruPaint or MaxWellFire script crashes when it is used (could be related to observers)

              2. or there is a more traditional plugin conflict

              Could you send me a model where you do the rendering, but just before you try to apply the TrhruPaint texturing.

              Fredo

                There is no model - just a simple rectangle, then push-pull to a 3D box.

                  That was just in case MaxwellFire modifies the texture. So just the model after you do the rendering.

                  Otherwise, this may simply come from a plugin conflict, either at code level, or due to handling of observers in MaxwellFire.

                    The material was just default sketchup material. This file was rendered with Maxwell:
                    Buro_11.skp

                      I get NO crash when using ThurPaint.

                      So it must be another conflict between scripts (There was one for Vray Beta 1.6).

                      Maybe some other users have found a similar problem.

                        Fredo,

                        I have installed Sketchup 2013 Make on a Linux instance and it seems to be working well. Unfortunately I have a problem loading FredoTools 1.2a. The error message I receive is:

                        Error Loading File C:/Program Files/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12/__loader.rb
                        can't convert nil into String

                        I have tried disabling my other plugins to isolate the cause and then adding them back one at a time and when FredoTools is enabled I start having this problem. I'm happy to assist you in any tracing, since I'm aware that SketchUp itself is not supported on Linux. This is a brand new install and all plugins packages have been downloaded within the past 24 hours.

                        I am also encountering the same problem in Sketchup 8 on the same machine.

                        Kind Regards,

                        Tom

                        Hi, Tom,

                        I have the same problem on my nature windows machine and on linux/ubuntu machine through wine. The workaround is very simple. I moved all Fredo6 plugins to default sketchup plugins folder and now all they works as expected. Probably problem occurs on AdditionalPluginFolders.rb level.

                          mac hd >library > application support > google sketchup 7 > sketchip > plugins

                          tryed to change names, place them in original folders, change the web browser (downloader as safari was giving funny names), change the un-compressor.. every thing to no luck

                          Here is an image where u see shaded all the info

                          thanx for any help in advance...

                            Fredo,

                            I've got an issue using FredoTools with AdditionalPluginFolders.

                            The problem is related here with shortcuts for illustration.

                            Many thanks to look at that ! ๐Ÿ‘

                              It seems the issue is in LibFredo6 actually (error in the logging of errors!!). I don't know why you have FredoTools in error. Possibly you may open the Windows > LibFredo6 Settings > View Trace Files... dialog box and check if there is more info (in red).

                              Anyway, I would suggest the following

                              • Upgrade to AdditionalPluginFolders 4.2a
                              • Upgrade to LibFredo6 5.3g (just published).

                              Then, if you still get the error, could try to drop and replace the attached file Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb in the directory where you installed my scripts.
                              Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb

                              Thanks

                              Fredo

                                Here is the "View trace files" :

                                As you can see, my Fredo6 tools are up to date... ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                Another question : Fredo6 has created a default parameters folder on the first level of C:/ (visible on the 4th line of the "View trace files").
                                Is it possible to locate this folder at another place ?

                                  Fredo,

                                  update of Libfredo6 solved part of the problem but not all :

                                    I would expect that none works or all work.

                                    I'll have a closer look

                                    Could you show me the content of the subfolder FREDOTOOLS_Dir_12 (files and dates)

                                            Some of my Fredo plugins need an update now. I've never done this before, so my question is how to update those plugins? Do I uninstall the older versions first and download the newer ones or just download the new version and the plugins are updated automatically in this way? Thanks for any help.
