[Plugin] Add comments to your file
-
This is a bug in SketchUp. SketchUp's API window management methods (for positioning and sizing windows) ignore the screen's scaling (dpi) setting. Yours is maybe set to something other than 100%.
For developers this is a bit tricky: We could either also ignore dpi settings and hardcode the text size to always the same tiny pixel size (bad) or resize the dialog to fit its content (difficult). -
Hello,
Just post new version, thanks to Aerilius, lots of code improvments were done.
Glro, please try with this version to see if all your bug are gone.NB : I tried to implement a text editor that can support bold, italic, etc. I tried with nicEdit, ckEditor, but it's very complicated (for me) as SU traps some events and style feature...I think, with simple text it ok enough. nevertheless, I would like some colours...

Nice plugin. When I was trying to learn Ruby, I had tried to make a plugin to open a text editor. Never got it to work.
And Thanks

where is the comment stored ?
since i don't see a file, i suppose it is somewhere in the data base of the computer
if so, it implies that the comment is available only on the computer that issued it, no?
i would like the comment to be available on another computer, to transmit both the comments linked to the model, and the model itself
for example, a text file with the same name as the sketchup model; if found in the directory, it would be showed in sketchup
would you consider it as additional option to your plugin?

Hello,
The comment is saved within your model (the .skp file, if you want) so you can get it on every computer where the plugin is installed) !
Just simple as this !

You can store pretty much any data you want in the model. That how most of the plugins retain information over time.
You can even attach data to entites like edges, groups, faces, components, materials, layers, etc ! The API is really powerfull. -

Sure ! API/Sketchup is just soooo powerful !
I would like to add more possibility to the plugin, like :
- Change font colour and type
- Add image (for example by selecting an area in the model and the plugin make a screen shot of it and insert it in the comments)
But for that I need support from somebody who can help me programming the javascript (to include nicEdit or ckEditor).
If somebody could help me on that...Inteloide.
-
Maybe add your plugin to github so we can help you easily?
-
Hum, could be an idea, even if I'm not familiar with github (Just subscribe and look a bit complexe for me).
But the issue I have is more a link between Javscript libraries like Jquery/nicEdit and Sketchup than a pure javascript issue.
So I think here is the best place to get help.Well it's my opinion...maybe not the best ;o)

Downloaded the plugin, and it looks useful, but no toolbar. I'm running SU V8.
Kind regards,
Bob -
Hello Bob,
Could you please tell me more about the issue :
On which OS are you (MAC/PC).
Have you check that the toolbar is active (View/Toolbars) ?
Do you have access to plugins through the Plugins menu ?Inteloide

Hello,
New features comming soon !!!
Add as many tab as you want !

An excellent addition to an already useful plugin.
But you know people are going to start asking for things like, can you link a comment to a specific layer/scene/component etc etc

Then I would say : why not !
Let's me finish tabs feature, then I will have a look at other additional features.
But any idea is welcomed !

Dear Inteloide,
Well, I must have been doing something silly because it's all working just fine.
Thanks for the swift response.
Kind regards,

Inteloidethe tabbed version will be a big enhancement; one tab per scene, for example...
would it be possible to put an active internet link in the comments window?
-
A tabbed version will above all increase the complexity of the plugin. Users could want that tabs represent scenes, others maybe specific entities etc.? A developer's challenge is to come up with a solution that is universally applicable but doesn't increase the complexity of code and UI too much. That is what makes it so interesting
