[Plugin] LordOfTheToolbars - v2.8a - 10 Nov 24

For clarification

Stickiness means that the palettes or Vignette Stripe follow move when the Sketchup window is moved. But you decide where to position them manually
There are separate stickiness options for the Vignette Stripe and for palettes

I got the Vignette stripe to move with the SU window now, thanks.

However, I had do both activate the "Vignette Stripe is sticky" option and then manually move it somewhere over the Sketchup window.

If I did not move it manually somewhere over the Sketchup window, the Vignette option just stayed in one place, even when I moved the SU window.

For me, good enough !

Hi Fredo, I'm having problem trying this plugin on a M1 chipset Apple MacBook Pro.

I'm on SketchUp Pro 2021 on 16" MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max running macOS Monterey. And LordOfTheToolbars is not running properly. All other plugins by Fredo is fine, including FredoCorner and JointPushPull. Only when SIP is disabled, LordOfTheToolbars will run without issue.

Will try to make some screenshots later.

Hi Fredo
Thank you for all the time you put into these plugins! legend!!

I've attached a little video of my problem with Palette line breaks, copying of icons and deleting them

I'd guess this is not expected behaviour? or Have i go this completely wrong....

All I'm trying to do is create a few rows of plugins, I also am attempting to move them about to suit my needs.

@cmeed the plugin needs extra polishing. From my experience you should start a new empty file, make all the desired changes in lott toolbars and restart SU afterwards.
Trying to make changes in the middle of long editing of complex files might be too buggy.

WIP!

I was going for a big palette with lots of icons I'll have to plan a bit better and maybe use more palettes with reduced amounts in

The problems when inserting and deleting icons and line-breaks should be fixed in LOTT v1.8a.

With "LordOfTheToolbars" I'm having trouble loading the tabs I've created.
These problems started after my SU crashed. Resetting the settings and reinstalling the plugin can not solve the problem (((
Loading tabs starts only after clicking on any icon of the LordOfTheToolbars plugin.
Very inconvenient (Icons constantly fly off from the places where I installed them (

Could you first confirm which SU version you have (SU2018?).

Then be more precise on the problem. And could you keep the Ruby console opened when dealing with LOTT, in case there are some error messages displayed.

I would also recommend that you upgrade to LOTT V1.8a just published.

Now I use SU 2020. The plugin version is the latest and I update it regularly as soon as a new version appears.
Reinstalling the plugin didn't help.

If you do not see the Vignette Stripe at start up, it maybe be stuck off-screen (I guess you have multiple monitors).

Could you go to the menu Tools > Fredo6 Collection > LordOfTheToolbars > Reset the Vignette Stripe position.

I made a screen recording with another program.

Reset the Vignette Stripe position did not help me

Could you display the Vignette Stripe? (go to menu Tools > Fredo6 Collection > LordOfTheToolbars > Toggle Visibility of the Vignette Stripe)

Hello. The plugin itself works correctly. It just doesn't load icons.
Yesterday I installed SketchUp 2022. I installed fresh LordOfTheToolbars for it. Problem still exists. So it's not in the plugin itself and not in SU. Maybe the problem is on my PC. Could this happen?

fredo6

You seem to have 2 problems

The Vignette Stripe does not display
The custom toolbars are not showing at startup, but later on

I don't have an explanation for that. I will probably need to send you a special version with traces to find out what is the problem.

In the meantime, could you

Open the Ruby console
Close Sketchup with the Ruby console opened
restart Sketchup
Check if some errors appear in the Ruby console

"Add help menu!"
"create new"
"created"
#Sketchup::Menu:0x0000023c232015f0

This inscription appeared a minute after the launch of SU. And after I opened the console on my own.
Ruby console didn't open automatically!

Is this something happening only in SU2022.?

The problem first appeared on SU 2020. A week later I installed SU 2022. And migrated all the plugins to SU 2022, uninstalled LordOfTheToolbars and reinstalled it with the latest version of the plugin. SU 2022 and SU 2020 have the same problem.
