Thanks for translation, Oxer.

REQUEST: Can you investigate the missing texts in the importing popup windows on macos? I think for users it's very useful to see the text to understand what have to do.

I can't fix this problem because:

"[On a Mac] UI.openpanel ignores the title argument. There isn’t even a place in the dialog for a title to appear. It also doesn’t support wildcard patterns for the filename and there is no place for a selection list to appear anyway. In fact, the filename argument appears to have no effect at all; it isn’t pre-selected and the user can choose anything."

I'm Thea4SU beta tester and I can ask to Tomasz (TheaSU developer) if it's possible implement that in Universal Importer.

Good idea!

this issue has been fixed in this version
just one little problem is the origin of the imported component placed very far away from geometry
(~ 13579.78') this make very difficult to place the component.
Thanks for this fix

To locate "far from origin" component: Open Outliner in SketchUp. Select component. Zoom Selection.

Hi, Samuel!

I have reinstalled MS Visual C++ as you advised and now I can import stuff Thank you!

Still a couple of things bother me a bit.

The plugin always asks how big the imported model should be. It doesn't preserve its original size.
I was thinking of remesher tool as one working on selection, which would be more comfortable than remeshing entire model, as it goes now.
However, the remesher icon is beautiful! 10/10 for it
When I import a model with multiple textures, I can only select one texture file and that texture is applied.
Sometimes I can but another time I cannot have all textures included. Some models may be badly textured but I'm almost sure that I tried importing the same chair as TutorialsUp did with success, while I didn't get both textures (only one). I'm attaching both OBJ and FBX version of the model.

I suppose polygon reduction fails because face count is low at start (387). I can't fix this problem.

It makes a folder 'Universal Importer/tmp' inside the main C:/ProgramData/ hidden-folder - not sure why ?
What's wrong with the user's Temp folder ?

User's temp folder can contain special chars which are not supported by program used by this plugin.

@tig said:

Permission muddles and other issues are almost inevitable !

Famous plugins like Artisan and Skatter are using C:\ProgramData. This isn't a problem.

@tig said:

The importer then copies a seemingly random selection of files and subfolders into 'tmp' !
It seems like these are from the same location as the file selected to import ?
Currently about 17Gb !

~~Textures can be associated to model. So I've no choice but to copy whole folder.~~
Since 1.1.1 version of plugin, only necessary files are copied to temporary folder.

@tig said:

There's no auto-cleanup on completion, and so the 'tmp' folder will grow with each run of the importer !

No. Plugin temporary folder is recycled on each new import. There's no risk to saturate disk.

Reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ library (it can fix your error) then let me know if problem persists.
