Is it possible to add an option to not update a particular plugin in the updates list, meaning it should no longer show the update for that plugin and display it with a flag?
Ignore? We can look at that.

@alexpacio2013 what extensions would you not want to update when the author has made updates?
-
@Dave-R Some plugins have caused me issues with updates, some I want to finish current projects before updating, while others I'm confident are useful updates.

Hi, the Sketchucation plugin in SketchUp 2026 displays the following window every time I open the program.
Extension error report

This error is very unexpected.
As SketchUp starts it loads from your Plugins folder the ../SketchUcation.rb file to set up the rest of the code.
This in turn loads ../SketchUcation/SCF_loader.rbe
Which makes the toolbars, menus etc, and loads the various other code files needed to work the extension.
It's failing at the loader's line#193 with the NameError uninitialized constant SCF::TOOLBARTOGGLEup
This is one of many Constants set up to set the text for the toolbar button's tool-tips etc.
Because earlier lines of code have already set 27 similar Constants like SCF::TOOLBARTOGGLE, without any errors I can't immediately see what might be causing this issue for you. These Constants are read in from a text file shipped with the set - ../Strings/SCF-EN-US.strings
I've checked them and the correct file is included in the file set archive 5.0.4
Since the TOOLBARTOGGLEup Constant was just added in for this revision, then it looks like you might have a earlier version of the strings file [e.g. <=5.0.3], that the needed newer 5.0.4 l, and the loadedr is then tripping up later as that particular Constant hasn't been defined.How did you install the newest version ? From the ExtensionStore dialog, or from a downloaded RBZ - if that. then how did you install the files/folders ? Using the Native Extension Manager's Install function should copy all over and overwrite any preexisting files etc - which it clearly has for the loader etc; or did you manually copy the RBZ's contents into your Plugins folder ? If you did that then maybe you inadvertently skipped the new strings file version ?
You can see if the existing installation for ../Strings/SCF-EN-US.strings is correct by opening it with Notepad++.exe and around line#31 TOOLBARTOGGLEup= .. defines the Constant. If it's there then something is weirdly adrift, as your other files aren't loading it: but I suggest that it will almost certainly be an older version with that liine missing.
If it is missing something when wrong with the installation - probably skipped that file's newer version etc - if so the some other files might also be suspect.
Please try SketchUp's Extension Manager Install function again and pick the 5.0.4 RBZ . After it installs that, then restart SketchUp and see if the error recurs...
Alternatively you can use a manual way - close SketchUp, then extract the RBZ's contents using 7-Zip or similar [an RBZ is a renamed ZIP file], then manually copy all of its contents - i.e. parts 1) the SketchUcation.rb file and 2) the subfolder SketchUcation [and of course all of that folder's contents intact - files and subfolders of more files etc. When prompted choose to Replace the 118 or so existing files [never Skip them]. Afterwards restart SketchUp to sync everything and see what happens...
Please let us know what happens... -
Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see the Update All option from earlier versions. Was it removed?
-
I had it but noticed it was not correctly the other day.
We will take a look now.
-
@Dave-R We haven't removed it, for me it is displayed correctly. When you have a few minutes to test, please PM me.
-
@Gábor I did send a PM.

Thank you for whatever you did. It works as expected now.

I have installed the latest version (5.0.4) of Sketchucation Extension Store and like previous users get the "Loading... Click Continue if page does not refresh" message with a "Continue" button which appears to do nothing. I've read through Tig's responses and looked, using extension manager, for any extensions which don't report a version number. The only one I found was SCF Licence which doesn't have a version number, author, copyright details or description. All of the other plugins have version numbers and about a third of them need to be updated, which is why I installed the extension store. I seem to be going round in circles with this.
I'm using Sketchup Make 2017 (yes I know) and don't want to spend the large, to me, sum of money required to get a desktop version, as I'm just a hobbyist using the software for leisure. Is there any way to fix this problem or should I just give up and leave all the plugins as they are?

Just install extensions manually by downloading RBZ files from site.
2017 is using very old and no longer supported web dialog systems.

Starting with version 5, the third button opens the default SketchUp Extension manager, so there is no way to create sets and manage.
The second and the third buttons always showed different packages (plugins and extensions), now you end up with the default SketchUp windows.
Maybe this was intentional... or maybe not - i just pointed out. -
@FlorinAp
This change was intentional.
Over time the changes to the built-in Extensions Manager made it so much like our own that there seemed little purpose in the duplication. The loss of 'Sets' for the Extensions was decided on balance to be acceptable, because changes in how the SketchUp API allowed dynamic extension status setting has meant that our version was error prone. when doing this. Also the use of 'Sets' remains possible from within our Plugins Manager - because all extensions are also plugins [loading from a .RB file] it allows you to manipulate them in the same way with 'Sets' within that dialog...
