        As you can see, it requires the Sketchucation ExtensionStore.

          weird because i don't think i ever installed this plugin... searching my plugins - nada... downloading it and looking at the content - definitely never. maybe some other plugin bundled it? or worse, copied the warning message into their own plugin πŸ™‚ of course the only new plugins - the sketchucation, open cut, and su diffusion...

            Thanks for your reply and instructions. Sorry I missed your post yesterday.

            I think I was able to identify that I had only added one plugin and via your instructions, I think I was able to delete it. It is no longer showing up.

              I don't think it's the username - BUT clutching-at-straws...
              The MAC system encoding is always UTF-8 as expected.
              My PC is too.
              @gullfo reported the same !

              So now I need t look at why in just two cases reported to date there's an encoding error when none seem to be there...

              Watch this space...

                Thank you for your help and patience so far.
                I've prepared an RBZ with new encoding code to hopefully sidestep the issue. I'll send you a copy by PM [chat], please install it and see if it helps. Let me know what's what...

                    that worked! no sketchucation errors. just some previous initialized messages in the console for FileUtils.

                      At last !!
                      Thanks for the feedback. Sounds good to go ! I'll get something ready for Friday...
                      Are these FileUtils messages in anyway associated with SketchUcation stuff ?
                      Or is it something else entirely ??

                        Sketchucation Tools 5.0.1. is broken on my system (Windows 11, Sketchup Make 2017). The Sketchucation menu only has the following entries:

                        Next: everytime I launch Sketchup, I get the following error messages

                          OK, just a small update on the previous post. I noticed at the top of the error chain, that a specific extension would be missing (curviloft). It's an extension that I acquired quite a while ago, but it's not installed (certainly not at this moment, unsure whether it may have been installed on this machine in the past). I acquired that extension as part of a bundle. But, apparently, the simple fact that this extension is not installed, triggers the error with Sketchucation's new version. After manually adding the 'missing' extension, and relaunching Sketchup, the same error popped up, but this time about a different extension. Only after having installed ALL missing extensions of that bundle that was acquired quite long ago, Sketchup returned to a normal way of working when being launched. I nevertheless still find that this is a bug.

                            Thanks, the oddity of finding the VERSION of a @fredo6 extension like 'Fredo6_Curviloft', that is not loaded, i.e. it's shown as unloaded in our Plugins Manager because it's been renamed .RB! , is that we cannot get it by reading the extensions loading Fredo6_Curviloft.RB! file itself as Fredo doesn't expose it in that file [unlike most other authors]; instead we have to read the associated Fredo6_Curviloft.plugin file and find the VERSION there. If that file is not found we should skip to 'no version found status' - BUT somehow our checking is tripping up. I'll check and ensure there's a robust trap for this...
                            Please ensure that if you don't want it any more that you do not have any Fredo6_Curviloft files or subfolders in your Plugins folder - there must be something there to cause the error to arise...

                              An updated SketchUcation RBZ is being tested and will be published shortly - this should avoid this error when one of Fredo's [or TT's] extensions is only partially uninstalled and the VERSION is therefore unavailable...
