Fredo Lord of Toolbars no longer working

There are a few issues with dialogs in SU2024.

When the dialog appears, can you slightly resize it. It should show all buttons.

[cmeed]

@fredo6
Affraid not

[fredo6]

@cmeed

Obviously there is a general problems with dialogs in your environment. I cannot reproduce it in mine.

Just to be sure, did you upgrade to LOTT v2.7a?

If so, maybe a clean reinstall would help. In the Plugins directory, erase the folders Fredo6_!LIbFredo6 and Fredo6_LordOfTheToolbars and then reinstall from Sketchucation.

[cmeed]

LOTT 2.7a? or 2.7b - just checking
b is on the sketcucation pluginstore

[cmeed]

@fredo6

I have done a clean install of your plugins - nothing changed

then... did a clean install (as administrator) of sketchup 2024

deleted the contents of the plugins folder

downloaded sketchucation Plugin Store
then
fredoLib
and
lord of the toolbars

[fredo6]

@cmeed

I don't have an explanation to the cropping of dialogs. I guess you are on Windows 11, but that should not make a difference.

Could you open another dialog, ay Check Plugins for Update in te menu LibFredo6 and see if you see the buttons.

Also, do you have several monitors, and is Sketchup on the main monitor ?

[fredo6]

@cmeed

Would you mind to execute the menu Window > LibFredo6 Settings... > Fredo6 Plugin information for Sketchucation Support.

There seems to be an issue at load of dialogs.

@fredo6 Running MacBook Pro M2 Max OSX 14.4.1, Sketchup Pro 2024, LibFredo6 14.3b, LTB 2.7b
Can not get icons to "drag and drop" to Palettes. Check marks by all my extensions but still no luck.

[fredo6]

@Bradiks

Could you describe more precisely what you see not working.

When you drag a command icon, do you see it moving with the mouse?

Or does it fail to insert?

[TECHDAVE02]

same issues windows 10 for me

[cmeed]

@fredo6 apologies for leaving you hanging - I've been away
heres the copy and paste of the ruby console after
Window > LibFredo6 Settings... > Fredo6 Plugin information for Sketchucation Support.

@fredo6
looks like the 'check for Fredo6 ...' window is also not right.

yes I have a multi monitor setup
Laptop and a Monitor - SU on the main monitor

[fredo6]

@cmeed

Your installation looks correct, withe the latest version.

For whatever reason, there seems to be an issue with the load sequence of dialogs. Some events seem not to be received, hence the partial display of dialogs.

Could you open the Ruby console and copy/paste the following command (and then press Enter).

UI.openURL File.join(LibFredo6.tmpdir, 'Binaries', 'SU24').

This will open the folder where the active binary of LibFredo6, with the name: bin_body_Lib6G6.so. Can you tell me the date of the file.
Then, close Sketchup, and try to delete this file.
Then restart Sketchup (the file will be recreated).

[cmeed]

@fredo6 said in Fredo Lord of Toolbars no longer working:

UI.openURL File.join(LibFredo6.tmpdir, 'Binaries', 'SU24').

Hi Fredo,
Not sure this is what you were expecting ...

UI.openURL File.join(LibFredo6.tmpdir, 'Binaries', 'SU24').
Error: #<SyntaxError:"(eval):1: syntax error, unexpected end-of-input\n...o6.tmpdir, 'Binaries', 'SU24').\n... ^\n">
SketchUp:in `eval'
=> nil

[fredo6]

@cmeed
Don’t include the final dot

[TECHDAVE02]

NO Luck still same issues

[cmeed]

@fredo6
excluded the ' . ' and as expected file exploer showed this

[fredo6]

@cmeed

The binary is OK.

Did you try to check the Text scaling in Windows (see this post )?

[TECHDAVE02]

text scale no luck

[cmeed]

@fredo6
Yes! this has done it for me!! - Thank you so much for helping me sort this out.... I enlarged my computer fontsize recently, also, I increased the text size on my phone.... its a sign of getting older!! booo!
BUTI refuse to say ahhh when i sit down...
Thank you again - this really is a productive tool for me. Cant thank enough!

@TECHDAVE02 - sorry this hasn't solved your issue!
