      Henry:
      mx_hiddenmanager = SketchupExtension.new "Hidden Manager", File.join ("mx_hidemanager","mx_hidemanager.rbs")

      This can confuse Ruby - you have space after the method name and the brackets. ( File.join ) On top of that you have that as one of the argument of another method call ( SketchupExtension.new ) where you don't use brackets.

      To avoid potential errors, always use brackets. But most important of all, never leave a space between the method name and the brackets.

      It's a bit odd that a SU7 user should report this error, because SU8's ruby is more strict. Regardless, this should work:
      mx_hiddenmanager = SketchupExtension.new( "Hidden Manager", File.join("mx_hidemanager","mx_hidemanager.rbs") )

              No such file to load -- mx_hidemanager/mx_hidemanager.rbs

              Some of my users of the PieceTracer tool have reported the same mysterious "No such file to load" error, as you can see here:
              http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=34492

              A couple of similarities between Hidden Manager and PieceTracer:

              1. Both have an underscore in both the directory name and the file name, as most plugins do not.
              2. Both load the scrambled ruby file directly out of the loader file instead of using a second unscrambled file inside the sub-directory that loads the scrambled file using a 'require' statement or similar, as many plugins do.

              Could these similarities point to a solution to the problem? Could be worth creating a test version with these things fixed to see if that solves the loading problem for those users who have it.

                I checked with my users and fixing #2 above fixed the problem. schorradt, just create a .rb file in your subdirectory with one line: "Sketchup::require " and then the name of your scrambled file. Then load that .rb file out of your loader file using SketchupExtension. That will fix the loading problem for your users who have it.

                  Thanks Evan. Good advice. I have the same issue, presumably a conflict with Piece Tracer. I'll see if I can do it manually until the author fixes the issue.

                        Hello! I am back!

                        here is an update, tested in Sketchup 2014. At the moment without new features but I'm thinking about.


                        Hidden Manager 1.0.1 (21.03.2014)

                          SCF Toolbar has some files in it that create conflicts. There are two or three files that need to be removed as they are outdated and in the wrong location.

                              I don't think there is a new one. I think this thread goes over the issues found in it.

                                I think it's more a problem of Toolbar extension. ! Or?
                                please report error message if you get a conflict with my plugin. thx

                                  Yeah, this has nothing to do with your plugin Henry. This was in response to this.

                                    It doesn't seem to work with SU2015 64bit.

                                      Has this been updated for SU2015 64bit? It appears to be working now, though with it installed, SketchUp crashes when I use SketchUV to triangulate faces which are not inside a group or component (quite the opposite of the problem that occured with Components Manager and RoundCorner, where Sketchup would crash when RoundCorners was used inside components).

                                        This plugin needs an audit. It is well-meant, although careless compilation of code.

                                        Hi

                                          Great plug-in idea. However, I discovered a problem when working with one of my dynamic components when your plug-in is loaded. I started getting hard crashes of Sketchup when I change a parameter that changed the number of copies of a subcomponent. It is so bad that the bug-splat screen doesn't even display. Unloading your plug-in fixes the problem for me. I can send you the dynamic component if it will help.

                                          I am using the Sketchup Pro 15.3.331 64-Bit.
