      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 ?

            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,
                Bob

                  the 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 😉

                        Hello,

                        I can't resist anymore ! Please find here version 1.2.0 for trial (not official for now).
                        Is missing translation (to be added later) so all is in English.
                        Your comments from previous version are not destroyed : they are in "General" tab.
                        To delete a tab just click on red cross that appear when mosue is over a tab label.
                        To add a tab, click on "+" tab
                        Also one important improvements, is the undo stack is not filled with action of comments saving.

                        To be added :

                        • Translation
                        • Tab rename function
                        • Tab position change

                        Please try to add/delete tab to check if all is ok. I spent lot of time to check, but please try yourself.

                        For Aerilius : I try to keep code so big, I'm still ok I think. Let me bet that you will have a look ;o)

                        For Glro/Box, I will try to implement a link between tab and scene (when clicking on a scene, a tab is shown). My main concern is to keep interface simple. Also for hyperlink, I cannot do it without nicEdit (through JQuery). The problem is to manage it, quite complex for me. I tried (some hours) to debug it, unsucessfully. Let's try again, starting from 0...

                          Looks good but I managed to break it for you.

                          If you create a new tab and Delete the General tab it gives you this error. Generally you wouldn't expect someone to delete the general tab, but I just had to do it to see.

                            Well done ! Thanks for that !

                            Here is the correction :
                            Version 1.2.1

                            Version history:
                            1.2.1: Corrected : Avoid error when deleting tab placed before current tab

                            1.2.0:	Added :		Added possibility to have different tabs
                            		Optimzed :	Change toolbar name to "Comments (BGSketchup)"
                            		Optimzed :	Avoid filling "undo" stack with comments saving operation.

                              very efficient

                              would be nice to be able to rename the title of the tabs

                              "espanol" doesn't include "h"

                              maybe i type rather fast, but the comment get written in the window very slowly; maybe it is my computer

                              an internet link would be useful for me, because it would enable to attach a cloud hosted document to the model but a link to a scene would not; you can already switch scene using the native scene tabs

                              the button (icon) doesn't show up the first time after installing the plugin; but it pops up the second time you launch sketcup after installing the plugin

                                Hello

                                Rename function added :
                                Version 1.3.0

                                Place your mouse on tab name, and a new button appear.
                                I also added mouse title when over the button to discribe their function.

                                For hyperlink... you have to be more patient 😉
                                For linking a tab to a scene, I think that people wants to show a tab when user click on a scene. That is quite easy to do with an observer.

                                For your slow key entry, I save the comment each time you press a key or you left the text area (to catch copy/paste events).
                                That may slow down system but not as much as I understand from you...

                                  Just post (on first post) the last version of the plugins, with following improvments :
                                  Corrected : Allow the modification of tab name on first tab
                                  Corrected : Allow special characters in tab name
                                  Corrected : Remove prompt when deleting a tab
                                  Corrected : Hide tabs when showing options
                                  Optimized : Add translation possibility for last adding feature
                                  Optimized : Increase tab "+" size for more accessibility
                                  Optimized : Add border around tab for to distinguish tabs more easily

                                  Enjoy !

                                      Hello !

                                      Just post a new version that can link tab a scene : when clicking on a scene, the tab appears.
                                      For that, click on the new button icon when mouse on tab. A new window open asking for tab name and scene link.

                                      Oh...just thinking that translation is missing...I'll correct soon...

                                        Hmmm, no, this version appears broken for me.
                                        I can't change a name or link to a scene and deleting a tab throws the error attached.
