[Plugin] Compo Spray 1.4.2 Updated

Nightgaunt

I am having the same issue with SketchUp 2013.

Ruby console reports the following when spray on horizontal is clicked.

Error: #<Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - C:/Program Files (x86)/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/CompoSpray/csSettings.html>
(eval):373:in initialize' (eval):373:in new'
(eval):373:in write_cs_dialog' (eval):111:in compoSpray_main'
C:/Program Files (x86)/SketchUp/SketchUp 2013/Plugins/compoSprayToolbar.rb:17
(eval):373:in `call'
(eval):373

Which is odd as it is the only plugin to which this happens. Any ideas?

.......Changing permisions for the "CompoSpray" folder in Plugins directory using Windows Explorer "properties" is a good place to start! Just answered my own question.

Certainly looks like a 'permissions issue'.
Ensure that your Plugins folder... and all of its contents - its files and its subfolders and their files have FULL read/write properties>security permissions set for everyone involved, and they apply to all contents !

Hi, I'm having problem with the CompoSprayES.lingvo file and with the components name. I explain, if the words into translation file or into component name have accentuation signs, the plugin doesn't work.
Examples:
In .lingvo file
Triángulo--> plugin doesn't work Triangulo--> plugin works
Octógono--> plugin doesn't work Octogono--> plugin works

In component name
Trébol--> plugin doesn't work Trebol--> plugin works
Árbol--> plugin doesn't work Arbol--> plugin works

SU8 and Mac OSX 10.9

@Oxer

Is the file a UTF8 without BOM format [view in Notepad++] ?
It is best to avoid accents in SketchUp's Ruby [until SketchUp catches up with Ruby2...]

Yes, the file is in Unicode (UTF-8) format, always I give this format to all translation files. Other plugins don't have problems with the accetuation in the .lingvo file
TIG, see that the problem is in the component name too.

The plugin works in SU8 & Mac OSX 10.9 (but without accentuation in .lingvo file and component name)
The plugin doesn't work in SU 2013 & Mac OSX 10.9
When you click on Spray! with a component selected it appears an error window with this message:
No component selected.
Please select at least a component.

And in the Ruby Console this:
Error: #<LocalJumpError: unexpected return>
(eval):178:in cs_dialog' (eval):178:in call'
(eval):178

1/ work with preselected set of components;

+1 from me too.

This would help save a lot of time trawling through a list of components in a complex model.

Also:

I would love to use this tool to spray a pre selected bunch of components and groups, but ONLY once. Good for spraying people.

Didier needs to recode several of his Plugins to be v2014 compatible - usually it's some minor coding tweak or simple save_as UTF8-without-BOM encoding.
But since this tool uses rbs encrypted files we can't see what needs fixing...

So we need to wish Didier find time to do this update or to go on with SU2013.

I'm in the same boat here... WTF 2014

I've got an issue similar to others.
I am on 2013. Windows 7.
I had an older version of Compo Spray.
The small toolbar with the to spray can icons did nothing.
Under the Draw menu, I had Component Spray and also Component**s** Spray (note the plural)
ComponentsSpray did the same as the toolbar; nothing.
Component Spray gave me the full dialog box with all parameters. I tried many combinations of parameters and combinations of components...to no avail. I got the message something like "1000 tries...Try Again?" Nothing I would do could get the plugin to create any components.

So I figured I'd just delete the old files in my Plugins folder. And reinstall 1.4.2.
Now, I get the toolbar with the "Top Down" and "Vertical" options that does nothing.
And the Components Spray menu item under Draw that does the same thing as the toolbar; nothing. I do not get the dialog box with all the options.

This is such an awesome plugin that I'd really like to figure out what's wrong and start using this!

My CompoSpray folder has full access permissions for me/OWNER.
Any thoughts?

I know others have mentioned this, but here's the error dialogue box that pops up after Installing Compo Spray in SU2014.

It appears every time I open SU2014...

Hope this helps!

Nag Didier Bur - he needs to fix it...

still waiting for su2014 !!! Hurry Didier it's my best plugin (actualy after 1001bits)

Folks, the best tool in in this field (scattering) so far is Chris Fulmer's Repeat Copy (on Smustard.com). Works way better than compospray (will work with preselected set, will paint
upon the stacked balconies, has 'no repeat' function.. etc)
I really recommend to burn the giant sum of $10 and get it.

majid

I like the wonderful plugin, waiting for update

Please make it possible in the 2014 version.

I have installed the plugin in /Applications/SketchUp 2014/SketchUp.app/Contents/Resources/Content/Tools and the plugins works fine now on Mac 10.9.4 & SU2014.
Thanks you very much for the info!!
