[Plugin] Layers Panel 1.2.1

jiminy-billy-bob

On my station, everything works perfectly. I have full admin access to the folder which the plugin network runs from. The users to whom I've rolled the plugin out, who have read only access, cannot alter colors for the LP layers, nor do the color previews show. The little grip by which the color is chosen and the layer is moved shows as grey only.t

I bet you have SU2014 and the other user runs SU2013?
SU2014 introduced a new API method which allows me to add colors to LP. But it was non-existant in earlier versions.

Bingo! Thanks for letting me know, it's always good to know stuff like that.

First of all, great plugin. This should be a basic part of SKP right out of the box.

However, I'm getting a specific problem with it.

Here is the series of events:
-Open file
-Delete a few things in the model on different layers
-Purge the model (which deletes the layers that are empty)
-Try to undo
-Main modelling window freezes (can't pan/zoom/rotate) but I can still click on buttons and file menu
-Model then bug splats

I'm using the plugin from a network folder but also tried it in my local plugins folder and the same problem occurs.

I've also downloaded and replaced the 2 files which you included on the previous page but problem still occurs.

However, when I try the same steps in SU8, it undoes everything just fine without any bug splats. So, not sure if it's a SU2014 problem only.

This is the error that comes up when I open up the ruby console:
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `get_attribute' for nil:NilClass>

Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Is this the whole error?

Sorry, must've deleted it while editing.

This error is related to Dynamic components, not Layers Panel.

Do you have any idea as to why this error only happens when Layers Panel is on?

jiminy-billy-bob

Hmmm, I'll look into it.

For those who want Layers Panel to support Thea Render (or the other way around), please say so in this thread : http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=384%26amp;t=58168

Still get the occasional "Undo Layers Panel ID" when trying to undo an action.

dancho

Can you put inside plugin to arange layers in alphabetica order?
Thanks!

Any luck on replicating the problem or finding the cause in the code?

jiminy-billy-bob

I couldn't replecate the issue. Could you send me your model?

Amazing job. Thank you.

I just noticed your toolbar is persistent, meaning even if you choose to close it it will reopen on next startup. Is it possible to remove this behavior.
I've notice quite a few tools do this and it makes for a minor nuisance when you want to use a minimal number of toolbars.

It works fine for me.
