a query.
In version 2, the list of recent plugin could see a list of all plugin chronologically ordered.
In version 2.5, the list of recent plugin, you can only see the last 20 plugin. this feature will ever change?In v2 you also should have seen only the last 20 plugins in the recent list. Only the full list lists all the plugins in the store. (Therefore it takes some time to load...)
-
If, in version 2 are seen 20 plugin, but when I slide down the sidebar plugin loaded another 20, and so on. no?

No. But it's a good suggestion for the further development.

yes.

I have two computers, a desktop at home and a laptop, which I use when I have to go to the office. So that now that I can see which plugins require updating on the desktop, I was wondering, is there a file I can copy from my desktop to my laptop, such that when I do a check on what plugins need updating on the laptop, the program would also show which plugins are missing on the laptop and need to be downloaded.
This way I could keep the laptop in sync with the desktop.
Thanks in advance. This program was much needed.

Hi Ken,
In the future releases we plan to implement such a feature you're looking for. Until then in the "My Downloads" list you can see those plugins what you've ever downloaded from the pluginstore on any computer. At the moment no feature to port the "My installs" but it is on our "To Do List". -
Yes
A future version might well have a new 'My Syncs' tab - where you will be able to see what plugins you have installed on your current computer/SketchUp-version, AND also those extra ones on other computers/SketchUp-versions [provided you have accessed the PluginStore at least once from these alternative computers/SketchUp-versions], and then it'll offer you the chance to AutoInstall the missing ones - either clicked individually or in bulk [like the 'Update all' button in 'My Updates']...
We are [hopefully] anticipating your needs/desires, and much of the needed codes is already available.
We just need to assemble it and beta test etc...
However, please do make suggestions for enhancements - there's always going to be something we haven't thought of
-
This is a great addition to SU and it keeps getting better. Love the updating notification, just updated four plugins that I didn't realise had been modified!
I hope I've not missed the memo; installation of plugins is so simple, is there an easy way to uninstall unwanted plugins?

There's a Plugins > SketchUcation item 'SketchUcation Plugins Uninstaller..'
That opens a dialog similar to the Plugins Manager.
It lets you Uninstall selected Plugins - the rb/rbs/rb!/rbs! files are renamed with a final x - rbx.rbsx/rb!x/rbs!x
They do not then appear in the 'Plugins Manager' or 'My Installs' lists.
You can Reinstall any 'x' plugins using the same dialog too.If you want to permanently remove these Uninstalled files from your system you'll need to do it manually - open your Plugins folder, filter by the final 'x', select them and 'delete'.
The associated subfolder [if any] is usually named after the plugin file itself and so it can therefore be removed manually too, at the same time; although leaving it in the Plugins folder does no harm... -
I get these two...
Error - Start up.pdf
One at start up, the second when I click on the Plug ins manager button.
Error - Plug Ins Manager.pdf
Also: I use multiple monitors, and the new tool bars and menus show up frequently on one of the other screens...am I the only one? -

Very handy.
Seems like this should also be in SketchUcation Plugins Store in the "My Setup"

@goatboy...
It's a Plugins folder limited Security permissions problem...
Please read this which explains how to fix it...

Tig could you put that permissions business together as a sticky so you don't have to write it again and we can just link to it.

2 little UI(?) suggestions
-
when logging in, the ability to press <return> once your name&password has been typed instead of needing to mouseclick on the login button
-
some sort of feedback upon clicking 'autoinstall' that the plugin is actually downloading.. i.e.- a little spinning wheel pops up somewhere.. or something.. similar to downloading via a browser as each app has some sort of user feedback that a page is loading or a file is downloading.
-

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post but here goes. First off as usual I am truly in awe of the great work of both the Trimble Team and all of the developers contributing at SUcation. Here's my quandary. Sketchup 2013-Make is installed on 2000 laptops at my kid's high school (why not Pro is another story). However, admin permissions are required when trying to add even the most basic of plugins/tools. Any suggestions/ideas if this Sketchucation Tools 2.5 can get around this bureaucratic virtual wall.

It says downloading % in the bottom left corner on mine.

Jeff means that the PluginStore Dialog box show a loading graphic when you click autoinstall not the status bar in SketchUp.
In sme instance the download can be so fast that the need for a spinner would be pointless. But I do know on some plugin the few secs to mins needs to be indicated.

oh.. then i change my suggestion.. make that ↑ work on mac.
it's not a big deal for the tiny .rb files as the 'auto-installed' dialog pops up quickly.. with the larger sized plugins though and no feedback, there's enough time in between clicking the install button and the installed message for doubt to kick in on whether or not i clicked the button properly
