        Bravo Fredo!!

        I was always needed this tool to keep my mental health with the evergrowing plugins and their palettes.
        This little gem (better to say the Koh-I-Noor itself) with all the possible personalization possibilities is a huge help. I was watching the video with my mouth open discovering more and more and more features...

        A big thank you, indeed!

          Downloaded, first impressions- wow, huge step forward in quality of life. Many thanks Fredo!
          A couple of things I noticed so far:

          1. Clean mode with 2 displays.. It always starts on the left monitor. Could it start where SU currently is (on the right monitor in my case)
          2. Command search. Could it, at least as option, pop-up (after shortcut) close to cursor and auto-disappear after needed command was chosen? Please take look:
            https://youtu.be/TlGaB4DtGEw?t=115 @1.55
            Naturally user is focused in cursor, so its way more comfortable to work as shown in video.
          3. Search by fragment of the name works consistently well if "*" is used: *UV will show SketchUV, while UV alone- will not. May it be tweaked?
          4. Command search. Could lastly chosen be suggested firstly if the same search was typed again?
          5. Repeat last command. Another plugin author created similar tool and made one genius thing- he somehow assigned double space bar shortcut to it. Unfortunately his plugin could not be used because it greys out RC menu πŸ˜„ So could you implement double spacebar idea in your plugin?
          6. Another idea: Could command search show user's shortcuts next to suggested commands?
            Thanks for attention

            First problem: at some I've lost this 'vignette stripe'. I tried everything: reset factory,
            uninstall-reinstall plugin+fredolib- nothing. BTW no problems in ruby console. Trying to get it via shortcut flashes red sand clock for a fraction of second. Any idea how to get it back ❓
            P.S. I don't know if its related, single time only the toolbars didn't got back after 'clean mode'- I just restarted the program.

              There is a menu entry for toggling the visibility of the Vignette Stripe. Otherwise, it might be off screen, in which case I don't have an elegant solution because the Vignette Stripe remembers its position. Possibily, you may have to go to the folder

              C:\Users<your username>\AppData\Local\LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir\Vaults

              In this folder there are files with name LibFredo6_HtmlDialog_SU2020_RT125.dat, one for each version of Sketchup and Scale factor (above SU2020 and scale 1.25). This is where the configuration of each dialog is stored. If you delete the file, then you reset the position of ALL dialogs, including the vignette stripe.

              Do you have multiple screen?

                    Another piece of quality coding by Fredo. I'm looking forward to trying it especially if I can put a group of icons on might right hand screen.

                    TBH I'm surprised as sketchup developed, no one thought about control toolbars like the tray idea. If I could organise plugins by maker in a tray I'd be a happy camper.

                      I thought about "Fredo tray" too. It could include standard elements like tags, entity info etc plus new ones - vignette,LOTT toolbar,history and optionally command search (I still would prefer it glued to cursor though).
                      Edit: BTW the update didn't bring vignette back, I solved it by deletig volts files- thank you for solution!

                        I'd prefer to see one-line (per command) search results instead of two. When command name is too popular user gets a mile-long results list which one line design could cut in half. Plus it's way easier to find the needed command.
                        P.S. Could history color setting by applied to command search as well? It'd aestetically unify plugin elements (and kill this nasty white where its possible)
                        Thanks

                          Each item is on a single line. But if the text is too long for the width of the dialog, it wraps to the next line

                            Usage: Free for the time being
                            What price would we be looking at if this plugin is going to be a cost after Expiration on: 31 Jul 2021... or would it still be free with a upgrade.

                                31 Jul 22 is just a technical date. I now try to put a limit to make sure users migrates to the latest versions, which ease the maintenance for me.

                                I have not decided whether and when LOTT would become a paid plugin. In any case, it should no more than $7 for a perpetual license, 3 seats, with a 30 days free trial period.

                                  Fredo please, if possible, implementtoolbars dropping out in upward direction. I'd like to keep the vignette at the bottom thus I need the custom toolbars to pop-UP upward. For bigger screens its better solution. Thank you.

                                    Hello, I would like to make a suggestion and that is that each vignette could have a keyboard shortcut to have quick access to each vignette instead of cycling them, and if it were possible that you appear under the mouse like wacom toolbars. Thanks for sharing, you are a machine πŸ˜„

                                        I would say 7$ is much more than a generous offer for such a necessary and powerful plugin!
                                        I would be happy to contribute.

                                          Some tiny suggestions: could the upper part get ditched? Such a large display area is wasted. Separators.. they are huge. Is there possibility to clamp them?

                                            I have a feeling that with LOTT onboard, SU opening times SIGNIFICANTLY improved. πŸ‘
                                            Do you confirm as well?
