[Plugin] TT_Lib²

[irwanwr]

Hi Thomas
I installed TT_Lib2 2.9.1 and this message popped up;

After reinstalling TT_Lib2 2.7.1, everything works just fine again as usual.

[tt_su]

Hmm... must be some differences in the environment variable between Win8/7/Vista and XP.

Can you open the Ruby Console and give me the result of ENV.each { |k,v| puts "#{k} = #{v}" } ? Then I can make a patch for this.

Hi Thomas - I'm am having same problem with 2.9.1 - reverted to 2.8.3 and all is well. Here is my similar Ruby info you requested of irwanwr:

[tt_su]

Thanks for the feedback. I think I have a fix - but I don't have an XP machine to test on.

I've uploaded a new version on BitBucket: https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/tt-library-2/downloads

Can you try that and let me know if it works. Then I can upload it to the Plugin Store and Extension Warehouse.

[charly2008]

Hi,

I have installed "TT_Lib_v2.9.1.rbz" and now get the message as shown below. I have full access to the plugins folder.
In the "virtual store" I can only find DEFPARAM_Dir and Fredo6Trace.txt and these exists in the plugins folder.

Thanks in advance for a hint.

Charly

[tt_su]

Maybe these files where created before you had full access to the plugins folder?
In any case, the files in VirtualStore should either be moved to the actual Plugins folder or removed.

[micione]

Charly same problem. (In SU8).
I have full access to the plugins folder.
And the folder "virtual store" is empty.

[charly2008]

Hi Thomas,

Previously I always had full access as an administrator. The Content from the virtual store, I moved to the plugins folder. The message still appears.

I have tried again with TT_Lib2-2.9.2.rbz but the result is the same.

I have now switched back to TT_Lib2-2.8.3.rbz. No Problems.

[TIG]

Being an administrator does not guarantee full security permissions to folders within the Program Files tree. By default everyone gets 'read-only'.

So you need to select the Plugins folder's icon:
right-click
context-menu
Properties
Security
Edit...
and give every entry FULL permissions
Apply/OK.

Also in the same folder as the Plugins folder find SketchUp.exe, select it and:
right-click
context-menu
Properties
Compatibility
Tick the 'Always run as administrator' box...
Apply/OK.

Also make sure that the Plugins folder does not have a custom icon - this is known to have subtle effects on permissions that report FULL but are really slightly reduced

[tt_su]

After you removed the content of the VirtualStore Plugins folder - did you also remove it?

(I might have to change the detection code to not raise a message if the folder exist but is empty. At the moment it will alter the user by just being there.)

[micione]

Thomas,
The procedure indicated by TIM has been active for a long time on my computer.
The folder "virtual store" is empty.
But the warning reappears always, to the opening of SU8.
Earlier Library, as well as all installed plugins, do not have
given problems.
In SU2013, the question does not arise. The thing does not happen.

Hi - 2.9.2 same Load Errors as 2.9.1 Tried change rbz => zip => unpacked => copied to "plugins" and also installed directly thru Preferences as rbz. Same results. Also deleting TT_lib folder and .rb before installing 2.9.2.

I guess the time is coming to change OS to something that doesn't require the use of hi grade metallurgical anthracite.

That's because the previous versions would simply check if there was a Plugins folder in the VirtualStore. It didn't check if it was empty.

I just uploaded a new version that checks if there actually is files there before warning. I think that should fix this.

Wait - these are different errors... don't think that is related to the VirtualStore.

All these errors refer to other plugins.
What's the output if you open the Ruby Console and type in: load 'tt_cleanup.rb' ?

[micione]

Thomas,
The new version 2.9.3 seems to have solved the problem.
Thank you.

[g_wilson]

Hi again - this may be a wild goose chase. I just closed SU8 and after exiting - up pops bugsplat window. I have attached .dmp file - closed bugsplat without being smart enough to send to trimble but searched out .dmp file. I tried 4 times to repeat bugsplat but no joy - exited cleanly. The bugsplat occurred with a new blank my default .skp as per usual.

OOPS - won't send .dmp file - renamed .txt

Stubborn bloody thing - now attached as .zip

So this crash doesn't repeat itself?

Have you also tried the latest 2.9.3 version? Are things working better then?

hm.... this might be yet another bug. Let me just quickly update with a new patch.
(I wish I had access to an XP machine right now...)

[thomthom]

Ok - version 2.9.4 up for grabs!
https://bitbucket.org/thomthom/tt-library-2/downloads
(And at the PluginStore - I think - if I managed to update that correctly...)

Update bonanza...
