[Plugin] SUTool: a new way to manager your RB script

Fletch

Hi Wikki, that worked... and I could have SWORN I tried that very thing last night, but it didn't work.

Jim, you're tutorial was the perfect thing for a guy like me! Blessings upon you a thousand times!

Fletch

ok... don't hate me!
I started loading my rubies...

1st - Jim, there's an easier way that Wikki provided for us to create new menu items instead of manually creating the ini file, you just add new ruby and give the new menu group item a name. I really like it! Maybe just add that in your tut.?

2nd - Wikki, when a name is very long for the ruby script description, the box cuts off the name of the file... so you almost can't tell what it is in some cases. If possible, do you think in the future you will be able to make it so that when you re-size the window it will also re-size the rectangles to show the whole ruby name?

PLZ,edit SuTool.css file to resize the width of cmd button that been showed in SUT window.

Edit CSS file.
Replace 'width:89px;' with 'width:150px;',4 places
Replace 'width:110px;' with 'width:170px;',2 places

Refresh SUTool window.

If I put a ruby in the SUtool... then move the ruby to a folder in my plugins folder called 'backup' in order to shorten my list of rubies in the pulldown menu... I lose my ability to use my ruby with the shortcut I had set up for that ruby... any advice? (for now, I just put those rubies with shortcuts back into the plugins folder.

简介：
SUTool是一个以类似CAD屏幕菜单方式组织SU插件的工具，用户可以通过自定义INI文件，增加或者减少项目。让大家能够方便的管理自己喜欢的插件！

只支持SU6版本，使用SU5的朋友请不要下载~

SUTool不是一个插件工具集，它是一个插件管理器，使用者可以用它添加、删除、调整组织方式。

安装：
将SUTool.rbs和SUTool文件夹复制到SU的Plugins文件夹下，重启SU，点击Plugins菜单下的SUTool即可。

1 可以直接将一组工具生成工具条，前提是为每个工具定制相应的图标文件。

2 顶端增加SketchupBBS的logo

20080226 发布 v0.12版

20080211 发布 v0.08版

1 修正了2个BUG，感谢sfancys和zyc7877两位坛友！

2 不再强制SUTool窗口出现在固定位置，SUTool每次会出现在上次你关闭它时所在的位置。

3 0.07版内部测试，未公开发布。

4 请大家多反馈使用信息，只有大家多提建议，SUTool才能越来越好~

20080204.2321 发布 v0.06版

1 重新调整文件夹设置；

2 自动添加新的插件到SUT：直接对RB文件进行分析，并将其中的命令自动添加到用户指定的ini文件中，只需Reload SUT一下，即可使用新的插件。注意，被分析的RB文件不要放在含有中文字符的路径下，比如桌面。

3 RO文件夹放置程序运行所需要的支持文件。
4 其中 convert.rb文件中定义了编码转换函数，默认是将UTF8转换为GB2312,港澳台地区可能需要改写此函数，我这里没有条件测试，有需要的朋友请自行测试或者和我联系。

I'm working on a tutorial now... and here it is. I hope it's good.

[attachment=0:2363623y]SUTool_Tutorial.zip[/attachment:2363623y]

I followed this Tut. to the letter, and everything worked out great. My compliments to the author a fantastic easy to follow tutorial.
And maybe a small respectful suggestion that more Tuts like this be posted to help us "apprentices" , and then we can do the same when we are as skilled.

I followed the SU Tut to the letter, I think. Mine will not recognize the new .ini files to the menu. Any idea what I did wrong?

I also noticed that the new text document is creating just that, a text document; not a config settings document. I got to be doing something wrong.

The tutorial is of great help! So also resizing the SUTool window help wikii gave.

From what I can tell the SUTool is up to version 0.25 or something (from bianhai's post) while the one we have available here is 0.08 - would it be possible to host the latest version here on SCF?

Baker518

I figured out the answer to my own problem. There was one step left out of the tut.

Once you have created the ini file, you have to open it and save it again in Notepad with the .ini extension added to the file name. I didnt know that.

Baker518

Since the object of this script is to shorten menu by moving to the SU Tool, what do you do with the rubies still in the plugin menu?

CalypsoArt

I'm really excited about this plugin but I've had problems. I originally downloaded the most recent version v.38. It didn't work well for me and had a lot of differences from the tutorial. I eventually used the v.08. However the "example" menus are still there even after I have completely removed the ini files. What is up with that? I noticed in the SU_Tools.html file there is code calling for the Example labels.

Any one have an answer for this?
