Ruby scripts with Vista
-
I recently upgraded my hardware, and at the same time upgraded(?) to 64-bit vista. I get strange behavior with SU ruby scripts. When I copy or edit scripts in the proper location, sketchup sometimes won't see them. Similarly, when I set new shortcuts keys, they work for the current session, but not the next time I run SU. I'm sure this is part of the new security regime for Vista, but there has to be a fix. Is no one else having this problem? CB.

Ive never had a problem with scripts in vista, so not really sure what it is thats messing them up gor you.
Perhaps its something to do with it beign 64 bit?

I am having the same trouble. If I copy a Ruby Scrip to the SketchUp Plugins folder, SketchUp will not see the program, it gives you the impression that the file has been copied, but when I look I can not find the file. I am thinking it has to do with me trying to copy something into the program folder and my “admin rights”
My work around is to copy the scrip to another drive/temp folder than copy to the Plugin folder, answering the “darn” questions that keep popping up.
No time at the present to explore what is going on.

Very
Irritating

Tortures
All ?Just wondered. I'm sticking with XP. It seems like one should avoid every other release from MS and AutoDesk (WinME or AutoCAD 13, anyone? and never mind the comments about avoiding them all together)

OK, that works. Drag it to the desktop, then to the plugins folder. PITA. I like vista in general, though.
-
So where does sketchup save my shortcut keys? I need to do the same trick with that file.
-
For shortcut keys you need to go window prefernces shortcut then export your shortcut from there. Before you imprt them you need to rename the file fo something else, as SU doesn't like the default name for some reason.

I dont know if this your problem or not. But I have had problems with Vistas Virtual Store messing with plugins.
Look at this post for details:
Bottom line is you should delete all the files (if any) in Sketchups Virtual Store location.

If you open a Windows window for the Plugins folder you'll see a 'Compatibility Files' option, this links to where Vista has put the copied [or altered] script files - seemingly awaiting your OK that they are indeed needed in the folder - I think it's a very annoying bit in Vista that I can't see how to 'switch-off' !!! It doesn't warn you what it's doing...

I believe I have that problem right now. I installed a script and it had a problem, Followthis 1.rb. Some files missing or not accessible. So I erased the script. I'll be darn, erasing doesn't do the trick. SketchUp is still loading the script, with the same errors, and now I can't seem to find the script, although SketchUp can find it.

Red Herring: My shortcuts problem was a different bug. I was trying to map the "add scene" command, which is a known bug. You have to tweak the registry to fix it. CB.
