[Plugin] Custom Toolbars Plugin
-
"I agree, this is the answer. To be able to drag & drop buttons to build Toolbars, and then drag & drop Toolbars in a window. It can be done, someone just needs to do it.
There is a plugin named SU Tool that is very close to what I think is the best solution; but it is encrypted (or I'd have "borrowed" it already.) But SU Tool is likely close to what the ultimate solution will look like."
this is the way the plugins PowerSutool organizer works.
to arrange the toolbars.
using a html interface, and a text editor
Maybe this can help find a solution?

What language (and writing) do you use in Argentina? I thought it was Spanish (and even that I understand some of it)

si español, se escribe aqui en argentina

Then there are a couple of tools that cannot be integrated with your plugin;
- the Sandbox tools
Ah yes -- I've been using Flip Division on the Sandbox bar frequently for my triangulated faces. It'd be nice to pop that one action off and put into my main toolbar

Is this plugin being updated for SU8 ? Some new functions are missing.
And, I'm thinking if it's possible to add icons from plugins to custom toolbars. I would like to have a larger toolbar with more plugins included, rather than lots of small toolbars, some of them with a one or two icons...Thanks!

Yes, I'm working on it, as time permits.
I've drawn a bunch of new icon images.@unknownuser said:

This is a common request. But it is difficult to realize. We would have to get all plugin authors to adhere to a certain standard. It is not likely this feature will be included in the ver8 update. (But it's on the future list.)

... one request (question): have the opportunity to add these buttons? [refering to pageMoveLeft, pageMoveRight commands.]
Urgen, I have drawn these two icons, as well as pageMoveEnd, pageMoveBegin (and I still need to draw the pageMoveChoose icon.)
I plan to have these (Scene) Page commands included in the next release. -

I got a snippet that overloads the UI, Menu, Command and Toolbar class which allows me to traverse the content of the custom UI elements. It is possible, but it needs proper testing and error catching.

This "certain standard" is something that might limit the freedom in making the script, or is something easy to achieve and will not affect in any way the scripting manner?
Why I am asking? Because your plugin is maybe the best method to customize SU interface. And maybe if you make a call to arms, there will be some (if not all) plugin masters who will join in this
I must admit that I'd be most pleased if this would happen (I'm a little selfish, ain't I ?

http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?page=dragDropDiego, can you give more of an explanation of how this works? You mention an HTML editor and a text editor but there's not enough info for my non-programming brain to work out. Your links don't seem to relate to editing of the toolbars. I'm bugged by the standard UI (and I know I'm far from alone on this) and so want to be able to tweak the toolbars and icons so any info on how to do this would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

any update for this plugin in the near future?
Thank you very much. -
Hi Jim, Many thanks for the plugin again!

I'm surprised that more people don't use this. Having quick access for toggling on/off hidden geometry, work lines, hide rest of model, perspective and a few other of my most often used tools is invaluable to me. It saves me truckloads of time. Thanks Jim.

Sorry... I meant thanks Dan.

Plus you can customise native and plugin toolbars.
And this plugin does work in 2014

sure, i know you can do this by keyboard shortcuts.. but i like to do this sort of thing with toolbars buttons, having basically any sort ofshortcuts + modifier combo (ctr+alt+...) already assigned to tons of tools/plugins and so on..
