        I have the same problem (2x ruby console entries below each other), however I don't have a sketchup.rb file in the plugins folder.

        Save the Earth, it's the only planet with chocolate.

          There's another script out there that is errant.

          It issues a "sendAction" to display the console, just as if you clicked on the dropdown choice. Search you plugins folder for any script that mentions "console" and you'll probably find it.

          Once you find it, show us the code and we'll tell you how to comment it out.

            I haven't been able to work it out yet. It's a small problem, so I haven't chased it too hard, but I tried your suggestions and didn't have any luck.

            There's no extra sketchup.rb in Plugins.

            I searched for "console" and found it in the comments of Examples.rb, utilitietools.rb and
            examplescripts.rb.

            The ruby sketchup.rb has the word console as part of
            @unknownuser said:

            if( not file_loaded? "sketchup.rb" )

            Add a choice to the Window menu to display the Ruby console

            add_separator_to_menu("Window")
            UI.menu("Window").add_item($suStrings.GetString("Ruby Console")) do
            Sketchup.send_action("showRubyPanel:")
            end

            and

            @unknownuser said:

            require 'langhandler.rb'
            $suStrings = LanguageHandler.new("gettingstarted.strings")
            console

            This file defines a number of useful utilities that are used by other

            Ruby scripts.

            Do you think it could be one of those?

              Search for "showRubyPanel" in Plugins and Tools folders...

              It's that name that's called. I accidentally left a call in ComponentReporter.rb about three years ago but all subsequent versions were fixed... Maybe it's something like that ?

                  Still not seeing single 🤓 (closest I could find to an emoticon seeing double)

                  In SketchyPhysics, I found

                  @unknownuser said:

                  if( not file_loaded?("SketchyPhysics.rb") )
                  #result = Sketchup.send_action "showRubyPanel:"

                  reload()
                  end

                  but deleting that file and other references to SketchyPhysics didn't make any change.

                  I did find it in sketchup.rb in the tools directory

                  @unknownuser said:

                  Add some Ruby specific menu items

                  if( not file_loaded? "sketchup.rb" )

                  Add a choice to the Window menu to display the Ruby console

                  add_separator_to_menu("Window")
                  UI.menu("Window").add_item($suStrings.GetString("Ruby Console")) do
                  Sketchup.send_action("showRubyPanel:")
                  end

                  Commenting that out got rid of both copies, but I do want one of them.

                    AHA! Perhaps you have a script that performs a LOAD of sketchup.rb instead of requiring it. Now search for "sketchup.rb" (a case insensitive search) and see what you come up with.

                    FYI - Any line of Ruby code that starts with a hash sign ("#") is a comment.

                      Still no luck. The only references to sketchup.rb are Require, except in the file sketchup.rb itself.

                      It's not bothering me much, but if I have time to spare, I'll uninstall SU and the rubys, then reinstall them and watch to see if and when the 2nd "ruby console" reappears.

                        John,

                        Do you have the sketchup.rb in your plugins folder? And what's the file size?

                        Gai...

                          If you want, and you won't be breaking any licensing agreements, zip up up your /plugins folder and send it to me and I'll figure it out.

                            Gaieus, The only sketchup.rb I've got is in the /tools folder. It's 4K.

                            Todd, I'll live with it for now, unless it's making you curious, then I'll send it to you for you to play with.

                                Jim,

                                I'd like to say this is a Sketchup bug. I loaded Sketchup with an empty plugins folder, punched "require 'Sketchup.rb'" into the console window, and instantly had the second Ruby Console on the menu.

                                  Ryan, that's because you typed "Sketchup.rb" with a capital "S". sketchup.rb does not perform a case insensitive compare when comparing script names. This has worked this way since June 2004, and was reported at least 2 years ago to @Last / Google, and a workaround even given too.

                                  Todd

                                    Well, sorry for replicating an already known bug... on the upside, now I fixed the same bug in my own code. Thanks Todd!
