[Plugin] Purge All

Dave R

Can I ask you to make an icon for this plugin?

No need to make the plugin more complex. Just make a keyboard shortcut for it.

Here's v3.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=PurgeAll
It's now signed for full compatibility with all current SketchUp versions, in all extension-loading-policies.
It also has the annoying display glitch fixed - where the report's formatting for materials tabbed over to the right too much !

Thanks TIG

Here's v4.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=PurgeAll
It's now made fully compatible with v2020 - replacing 'Layers' with 'Tags' when prompting/reporting...

Dave R

Thank you sir.

TIG

Here's v5.0
https://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=PurgeAll
It fixes the sometimes confusing reporting of groups getting included in the end components list [groups are component-definitions, but they are never purge-able].
It also address the log-file not opening on MAC's using newer versions of SketchUp...

@TIG Could it be non-modal please - what exactly is the point of hitting OK?

TIG

@rv1974
It can't be non-modal because it uses the UI.inputbox which is always modal.
Thre has to be a way of closing the window - in this case it's OK or Cancel...

@TIG How TT's Cleanup manages to be silent?

TIG

@rv1974

It doesn't use the simplae SUp UI.inputbox method, it uses TT's own HTMLdialog to make the interface.

@TIG if it's possible, I would love that add "purge environment" in your plugin.

@charevir56

I have looked at this in the past, and decided that the current limitations of the API / v2025 make it too awkward / too unstable to safely implement.
At the moment using Environments can be flaky, and is known to cause BugSplats, so although I have a working code set I won't be releasing it any time soon...

@TIG Good and not-so-good news in your response: It's good to know you're already working on this, although a little sad because it won't be out anytime soon. I use this plugin in my modeling routine and enjoy seeing the report. Thanks for your response and great admiration for your work.
