If you push Reload All Components button, it appears an error in Ruby Console, see the image 2.

Please try version 1.9.6 below, which should solve this issue.

The list is empty, when you push Update List button, nothing happens, no error in Ruby Console.

That's strange...maybe a javascript error...let's try with version 1.9.6, it may solve the issue.

Version 1.9.6

Oxer

Ok, i'll test it.

The list continues empty
I'll test the other functions

Oxer

Modify file's path -->works
Save selected component -->works
Save all components -->works
Save with new revision level -->works
Reload selected component -- > doesn't work, when you select the component it appears "Saved file is newer!" message but when i push Reload selected component button nothing happens, see the image below.

Could be due to the browser I use which is IE.
Please try to open attached file by placing it in plugins folder, in HTML subfolder. And tells me what happen.
It's just a simplifyed list to see any error that your brownser may show.

If you see something like a list, try to open directly the treeview.html file.

Please report me any error...because without list...it's just not so useful...

I maybe need an html/javascript specialist...

The test file

Oxer

I placed the test.html file in /Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2013/SketchUp/Plugins/BGSketchup/Composants/Html/ then I run Sketchup but when I call the plugin, the list is empty again. I have tried open tree.html in Safari browser and it appears a message:

Safari can't open "sip:get_data@charger_tires" because OSX doesn't recognize the address of internet that begin with "skp:".

When i open test.html in Safari the file shows like this:

Thanks for the update!!
Some questions in OSX:
~~1. If you select Yes in "Show list in tree-style" Option it doesn't appear like tree-style but if you select No then it appears the list in tree-style, is it the option upside down?~~
2. In Filters window the option "Component has no defined date" has a blue color but in Component Manager window it appears in black, is it an error?

PS. The tooltips in Component Manager window don't translate to Spanish.

EDIT: I had not understood the functionality, it works correctly but if you push Filter button when you have selected YES in option "Show list in tree-style", it appears a pop-up window with this message "You must choose option Show list in tree-style.", I think that it should say --> "You must choose NO in option Show list in tree-style." because with YES it isn't appear the Filters window.

Unbelieaveble!

I have not had the time to work with your plugin recently, but this week I will try it for sure. Thanks for all the recent excellent updates, this is growing strong.

There are yet some problems:
1. To work fine the Filter function you must to change the line#50 in Localization.rb file

Of @strTreeListOptionToBeSelected="You must set option '"+@strOptionVerifierChemin+"' to '"+@strNon+"'."

to @strTreeListOptionToBeSelected="You must set option '"+@strAfficherArbre+"' to '"+@strNon+"'."

2. The Filter only works the first time, then when you push Filter again all items are unselected, and if you select one or various items and push Apply button nothing happens in the List window, it appears only the message "Nothing to show due to filters". The Ruby Console is empty.

PS. The tooltips continue without translation in Component Manager window. I send you a new spanish language by PM.

Thank to Oxer a big bug is corrected in version 1.11.2.
Everybody should download this version to avoid problem using the plugin.

Updates :

Corrected : In non tree style, numbers of instances of components filtered still appeared
Corrected : A bug appear in consol when leaving the plugin due to observers still working
Corrected : Change context menu javascript position which may imply some Safari problems
Optimized : Add translation for component updating while opening new sketchup instance.

Oxer, we keep in touch for your button title issue.

Hello Oxer,
Could you tell me what's goes wrong ?

Oxer

When I push the Filter button the first time it appear the Filters window with all items selected, I unselect for example "Group" and "File path doesn't exist" and I push Apply button, then the Filters window disappears and it appears this message in the Component Manager window "Nothing to show due to filters".
I had groups, component linked and component unlinked in the model. I suppose that the Filters function works showing only the items selected in Filter windows but it isn't so.
If I open the Filters window a second time, all items are unselected.

Mac OSX 10.9.1 and SU2013

Hello Gents,

Please download last version of the plugins which solve the 2 issues you raised me :

Version 1.11.3:
Optimized : The modification of components don't add lots of undo/redo action in Edit menu.
Corrected : Bug when changing filters

Oxer, could you tell me also if the last version solve your issue about button title translation in main window ?

JQL, thx for chasing me on the undo/redo action, actually it was just simple as reading the sketchup rubi api...
Just one thing : for example if you delete an edge linked to a face, so edge and face are deleted, when undo the action, the component manager will tells you that your component has been modified (even if it actually reverse back to original design).
It's not a big bug, but I'll keep thinking about a solution.

4 - There is a feature that is not working as I would expect too. If one refreshes the list by whatever reason it collapses (some commands also refresh it). You loose the context on the list you were on. Of course it's easy now to choose from model so this is just a minor question.
JQL

Except this request, I think I've complete all the other request.
But don't worry I have one idea for this request, even if I think that at the end using list in a non-tree style is easier to use.

Other steps for plugin optimization would be :

Add possibility to auto-update the list when change the model with defining the update time (from 1 sec for small model, too minutes for big one) I could link this frequency to the time required to update the list : frequency auto-defined !
Add possibility to attached current time as modification time for component in model. This could be usefull for old model designed before having the plugin, or designed while plugin was desactivated.
change Option interface (options are mixed, and design just horrorful !)
change actions button at bottom of main window. Or allow user to defined which button he wants to have.
If you have other request...they will be welcomed.

If few days I will open a new topic to find some beta tester for an industrial 6 axis robot manager plugin. This will be the second plugin I'll officially release even if they are months I'm working on.

So if you have other requests it's time, even if I won't let you down !
