      I just compared the Toolbar files for SU-8 and SU-15.

      They are identical.

      The Toolbar.rb is...

      *require "sketchup"
      require "extensions"

      path = File.join(File.dirname(FILE), "toolbars", "files", "loader.rb")
      ext = SketchupExtension.new("Custom Toolbars", path)
      ext.description = "Loads your custom Toolbars."
      ext.creator = "Jim Foltz jim.foltz@gmail.com"
      ext.copyright = "2008 Jim Foltz"
      ext.version = "2008-04-04"
      Sketchup.register_extension ext*

      Is there anything more recent?

          My error was installing "toolbars" and not the newer renamed "jc-toolbars".

          I deleted the old toolbars and all is now well.

          Thank again. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

            Other than the day I installed the toolbars, I haven't used SU-15 till yesterday.

            When it powered up I noticed 2 toolbars were missing of the 3 I use (the Scenes and the one with hide/unhide icon). I checked, and it was active in extensions, but the TB's themselve were not in the List Toolbars.

            I reinstalled but no change. Searching I found the JF-Toolbars menu with the "Show Errors"

            This is the output.....

            *cannot load such file -- purgeall.rb

            I noted above that I need to load "Purgeall.rb" but it was not there when I first installed and it worked OK.

            Why would I need it when the problem occurs before any model is loaded? Only my template is up.


            Edited

            Just installed Purgeall but no change to toolbars. πŸ˜• Error message is gone. πŸ‘

              hello,
              how look a ruby-snipped to have a plugin with an icon?

              some developer have only plugins that's work in menue. ok i could add short-cuts for this, however sometimes i would have a toolbar with all my most used plugins together.

                Kinda wondering why no response to my last post. ❓ ❓

                I just deleted the toolbars dir and .rb and reinstalled.
                No errors.
                No toolbars.

                I looked at the Toolbars dir and the TB's I wanted were not there.

                I looked at my SU-8 TB dir and there they were.
                Copied both missing TB txt files over and now I have my TB's.... finally. β˜€

                  Dear Jim,

                  I just wanted to thank you for this updated plugin. I've recently gone for Sketchup Pro as I'm using it more and more these days, and I have bought a new beast of a PC to run it on.

                  I have been looking for this tool for ages now. I couldn't remember what it was called as I though it was a small selection of useful tools that someone had put together as a dedicated toolbar. But then I remember customizing it myself, and eventually I found you had updated it for 2014. I've got SU pro 2015 and it works a treat (so far). It certainly saves me from having a bunch of toolbars open that I would only perhaps need one tool from each, thereby saving loads of space.

                  Thank you again. I specifically find the hide selection and rest of model buttons indispensable!

                  Ian

                          That's great to know. Except that this plugin / extension is nowhere to be downloaded from now, not here on SketchUcation and not from Jim's blogspot either.
