[Plugin] Components manager plugin

[Oxer]

Fantastic, the translation works now on Mac !!
Thanks for the effort with the translation problem.

i had stopped using this plugin because of compatibility problems, but this new version is better

some minors observations:

for the 3rd screen copy, no matter what size i give to the window, it is still truncated at the bottom

i was looking for such a plugin to update a model made of components, when individual components have been updated after the model has been created.

Now, there is still a problem i can't solve using the native components window nor this plugin:

when a component is introduced in a model, if there is already one with the same name in it, sketchup automatically adds #1 at the end of the component definition name of the newly introduced component

how to replace the ...#1 component by the one that was first in the model, the name of which is ...?

I tried "reload selected components", AA11# is then written is creen, but the #1 is still at the end of the name...

Irrespective of fixing up dialogs and html etc into FRench...

It has long been know that trying to use file-paths containing "accented characters" causes issue in SketchUp, on PC in versions <=2013.
This is because Ruby1.8 cannot perform some basic and necessary File functions - like confirming that a file exists or reading/writing data.
Ruby2.0 used by SketchUp v2014 is better at this, but even that has some issues to iron-out.

Your error message relates to SketchUp v8.
The folder containing the KCDM.skp is clearly designed to make v8's Ruby have a heart-attack !
MTX_biblioth**è**que_(non_class**é**e)
try a folder rename?
MTX_bibliotheque_(non_classee)
Stick to ye-olde ASCII A-Za-z etc

It is an unexplained oddity that Ruby, which was initiated in Japan with it's very non-standard character usage, should have such issues with text using relatively non-controversial and common accented letters that are used in many locales...

thank you for taking the time to answer

yes, i already have been faced to this accent problem, but the tricky thing is that sometimes it is the source of the problem, and sometimes not

for example, the first screenshot, the problem is due to the fact that i buit the model on a computer using windows XP, and today i use windows 7; so the link is not "... program files... " anymore but "program files (x86)"

anyway, i should change the folder name...

my concern is how to remove the "#1" at the end of the component name

what i do now is:

i replace all the "#1" components by another one which is not already used in the model
i purge the unused components
i replace the component "not already used in the model by the one without the #1

it takes some time...

Hello glro !

Are all your compatibility issues only about accent issue ? If not, please tell me in order to improve my plugin.
For HTML size, I will have a look soon.

For your # issue...well the problem is in SU.
Actually, my plugin when reloading one or more components I :
1- load the component definition
2- remove replace old defintion instances by the new definition
3- remove old definition by purging all the model
4- rename new definition with the correct name
So if there is a # when loading the component definition, it will remains after reloading it.

But I think that what you want is to upload a component definition with a file different from the file used at begining, don't you ? Then in SU (not plugin), by right clicking and choose "reload", SU ask you the file name...then definition without # will be replace by the new definition but still without #
Do I'm correct or not ?
If not, I could write you a tiny plugin that do the job automatically...

it seems to me that the #1 component issue is related to your component manager plugin; for example:

i built a model from components in the component folder in june
in july, i modify some of the components
in september, i come back to the model and try to add some of the components that have been modified in july: they come with a #1 at the end

the real solution would be to use your plugin BEFORE i begin to modify the model; i just realize that while i am writing it

So, if all the components in the model are updated, when i add a new one, it will come without any #

i am going to try that...

thank you for trying to find a solution

In SU2015 64bit this plugin causes a crash when I use RoundCorner inside a component. I haven't tested other SU versions.

[inteloide]

Hello Pherim,

Please try version 1.14.10 which should solve your issue and let me know.

[Pherim]

Alright, it works again! Thanks!

I have installed the v1.14.10 on Mac OS X & SU2015 Make and it appears a Load Errors window with this message:

Thanks for the info inteloide, I have installed BGSketchup_Library file and the plugin works fine now on SU2014 & SU2015.

[arquiman5000]

64bit problem, please update...

[inteloide]

Hello, Could you please be more precise ?

[Pherim]

Hey, the new version 2.0 always asks on startup if I want to use my system's language (German), which I don't, and it says in the window that there is a new version available although I have the latest, and then the custom toolbars I built with Toolbar Editor don't load anymore. Last but not least, it doesn't overwrite the old version but that still remains installed and usable, apparently.

Right now I can't use this in its current version with these issues.

[inteloide]

Hello Pherim,

Sorry that this version doesn't worked as required for you. I'll try to correct this asap.

• always asks on startup if I want to use my system's language
  That's strange : do you have a file BGSketchup_Components_manager.ini in your plugin folder ?

• it says in the window that there is a new version available although I have the latest :
  It should be solved now

• then the custom toolbars I built with Toolbar Editor don't load anymore.
  I tested on my computer, on SU 2014 and 2015 : it works perfectly...

• it doesn't overwrite the old version but that still remains installed and usable, apparently :
  Yes, I forgot to tell that previous version should be removed...

Please keep me informed.
Best regards
Inteloide
