          keep the puts deleted, but on line 106 add an new line UI.messagebox(name)
          try on a small number of skps first
          just to see if slowing it down helps...

            That means you need to press OK 126 times !
            Rich, why not ZIP and email me those 126 SKPs, explain [clearly] what you want to do...

              sorry, just trying to help out, thought you were at pub...

              it's failing with only two models to import...

              removing the puts helps sometimes,
              pre-saving the model helps sometimes,
              adding the UI.messagebox helps sometimes...

              but if I try a larger folder it bugsplats again...

                OK, I'll check it out - not a bug reports for years, then three come at once...

                Maybe it needs updating...

                  I just revisited this Plugins code.
                  As it was, it still worked fine for me on multiple SKP imports, but I have made some adjustments because the SKP import could now be more 'streamlined' > SUp v8...

                  Here's the updated v1.4 RBZ in the PluginStore http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=import_from_folder

                  Please try it and feedback.

                  PS: Rich - you can email me the 126 SKPs in a ZIP if you like ?

                      They are weird SKP names !
                      What happens with a simpler set of 'sensible' names ??
                      Maybe I need to try and force the file path's encoding to UTF-8 if >=v2014 ?

                      Are they all real SKPs ?
                      Is their version <= SUp version you are using ?
                      If it's > then you will get an 'empty-skp' message for each one...

                        Here's v1.5, it forces the file names to UTF-8 in >v2014 to see if that addresses file-type errors

                            no joy, it's failing on even a simple 2 skp, good filenames folder...

                            the other folder names are deliberately obnoxious to represent a 'user' folder, but the names all show in message bar as they are found...

                                            You code is overly complicated.
                                            It also has some odd working practices... 😕

                                            I am sure I have answered this same query elsewhere...
                                            See the @yuyuwhy posts...
                                            Is it you, but with a different user-name ??
                                            http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=554042#p554042

                                            This thread explains how to setup an empty model SKP - the order of purging IS important - yours is wrong !
                                            Do that BEFORE importing anything.

                                            It also suggests a sensible approach to the subsequent import, purge and export of each DAE in turn.
                                            If you enclose those actions within a ' model.start_operation(...)' block, BUT afterward each you ' model.abort_operation' it [NOT the usual ' model.commit_operation' it] then the imported data is simply forgotten, but the export is safe because the DAE file is now outside of the SKP's control... So there is no need to purge between each import/export at all.

                                            Recast your code thus...
                                            Make the host SKP empty.
                                            Process the list of DAE files in turn.
                                            Use a model.start_operation(...) block around each iterate step.
                                            Remember to use the model.abort_operation to undo the import etc, but leave the export intact.
                                            You should end up with an empty SKP and all of the DAE files processed.

                                            Incidentally, your code only works in v2015 as the UI folder selector is new in that version's API.

                                            Thanks!! I tried and it works!
                                            And I want to import *.dae file with 2000 jpg.However Sketchup stop at 10%. It do not warn me anything.
