      this has been evolving for a long while, but here it is...
      I have now added it to the plugin store...

      404 Not Found

      favicon

      (plugin.sketchucation.com)

      If you have any other versions you should upgrade after a manual 'move to trash' of the older files...
      The manual deletion is required as I changed a lot of the filenames...

      please give feedback, so i can put this to bed, before my wife kills me...

          @gilles,

          I got v8 back up and running so the new v1.0.2 in the Plugins Store should now work...

          can you test it to make sure?

          I also have a translation plugin if you want to try it?

            I get this loading SU:

            Error Loading File jcb_Add_Icon.rb
            undefined method `[]' for #<LanguageHandler:0x10ccfca8 @strings={}>

            SU V 8.0.14345

            cheers gilles,

            I recently changed it to use 'langhandler' for translations, but forgot 'langhandler' changed at v14...

            As a test, could you try this from 'Ruby Console'
            EDIT: code is now added to v1.0.2...

            Add Icon should then work...

              It does not work.

              inside jcb_Add_Icon.rb I read: add_icons_on_mac.version = '1.0.1'

                oops... I just re-uploaded, and then downloaded the .rbz to check that it is now the 1.0.2 version...

                sorry about that...

                      For the latest version 1.0.2, I noticed that a solid white colour is added to the backgound of the icon, and if my SketchUp window is not square, red bars will be added to the top and bottom, or left and right of the icon.

                      The "set window to square" button/function seems not working, I'm on SketchUp 2015 and OS X 10.10.3.

                      I was using an early version of your script, and was pleased with it while it generates icons with transparent background.

                      When I wanted to generate an icon, I use a window management tool (named Window Tidy) to set my SketchUp window to nearly (but not exactly) square to have the best icon result.

                      May I ask for the transparent background back, and get rid of the red bars?

                      The old version I use was running good, but I do like the batch function of adding icons to Layout files and skm file.

                        hi

                        I added the 'Red' banding so you can quickly see that a 'better' icon is available by using 'Make Square',

                        I am looking at adding some user preferences that will let you set the band color to any or transparent...

                        but first, get 'Set Square' working is quite critical...

                        It may be a locale issue, do you use 'en-US' for SU or other...

                        if you could run a couple of test's in 'Ruby Console' we can try and work out the issue...
                        use 'Select All' >> Copy >> Paste in 'Rudy Console' >> hit 'Enter/Return'

                                    if you paste the code block below first, then JcB::SetWindowSize::Change.set_2_square
                                    does it 'go' square?
                                    then up arrow in 'Ruby Console' >> return
                                    does it revert?

                                      1. up arrow >> return again
                                        the new blank SketchUp window go square;

                                      up arrow >> return again
                                      the new blank SketchUp window revert its size, but goes to a new position on screen;

                                      I kept doing this, results are same: the new blank SketchUp window do go square and revert, but the position on screen is changing.

                                        1. I draw something in the new blank SketchUp window, save the file.
                                          the "square - revert with different position" circle goes on.

                                        2. I close SketchUp, open it again (with and without an existing file), I do 1) and 2), the result is same as 3).

                                          1. I pasted the code, hit return
                                            ruby console return "True";

                                          2. JcB::SetWindowSize::Change.set_2_square, return
                                            ruby console return "True";
                                            and SketchUp ask me if I want to save my current work;

                                          3. I click "yes"
                                            ruby console return the following:
                                            Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method attribute_dictionary' for nil:NilClass> /Users/zz/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/jbb_layers_panel/rb/observers.rb:189:in onContentsModified'

                                          if I click "no"
                                          ruby console return:
                                          Error: #<TypeError: reference to deleted Attribute>
                                          /Users/zz/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/jbb_layers_panel/rb/observers.rb:203:in each' /Users/zz/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/jbb_layers_panel/rb/observers.rb:203:in block in onContentsModified'
                                          SketchUp:1:in `call'

                                          then the window of my current work is closed, while SketchUp is still running;

                                          then I click the SketchUp icon on the Dock, a blank/new SketchUp window pops up, which is square.

                                          1. I press up arrow in ruby console then return
                                            the new SketchUp window revert to previous size, but a little different with its position on screen.

                                            cheers for that comprehensive testing,

                                            Is that the latest version of jbb_layers_panel that's causing the errors?

                                            for some reason it's observers are being triggered by closing and re-opening the SU window...

                                            If you temporarily disable it does this code run without issue?

                                            In Preferences, do you have 'new windows' set to 'cascade'?

                                            If so does after deselecting that does the top corner still move?

                                            I do have a completely different 'new' way of changing the window width, but that also needs more testing...

                                            john
