[Plugin] Selection Toys

arjunmax09

I have sketchup pro 8 ..I've removed my old version of selection toys and downloaded the new one.I already have this 1.2.0 version of TT_lib. But everytime i start sketchup i get a dialog box saying ...Selection Toys requires a new version, 1.2.0, of TT_Lib. Sketchup pauses for a moment...then all the toolbars come in place and selection toys plugin works fine...what should i do to get rid of the dialog box??

What do you get when you enter TT_Lib::Version into the Ruby Console?

I get this...

TT_Lib::Version
Error: #<NameError: (eval):2307: uninitialized constant TT_Lib::Version>
(eval):2307

wonder why i'm getting an error when selection toys plugin is working fine...

thomthom

what? you get that error but Selection Toys is still loaded?

Something is messed up here. Can you post a screenshot of your plugins folder?

Sorry - it should be TT_Lib::VERSION - note the big capitals.

This seem to be the same as what brookefox had: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=14975&start=315#p282763
Simply not updated TT_Lib version. Make sure you overwrite the old files.

TT_Lib2 won't have anything to do with Selection Toys.

I already overwrote the old files..even deleted the old folders, redownloaded your ttlib plugin from SCF and unzipped them to the plugins library but the error still pops up...

Somehow you're not installing the latest. ...maybe when you download you are getting a cached version... tried clearing your browser cache?

yup...i always clear up my browser cache using CCleaner..a freeware that clears up all the temporary files trash, etc...Can you mail me the recent version...is there any way to detect if I have a recent version or not??

Download the TT_Lib zip file - extract to a temporary location can open up core.rb in Notepad. See if it says VERSION = '1.2.0' somewhere in there.
Then you verify if it's a download problem or not.

It is version 1.2.0..i checked it out in the core.rb file.

CONSTANTS

# TT_Lib version constant.
# @since 1.0.0
**VERSION = '1.2.0'**
	# Array indexes for VERSION.split('.')
	# @since 1.2.0
	V_MAJOR = 0
	V_MINOR = 1

.. what should I do now?? It's not a download problem of ..what's wrong with my file then??

I dunno... must be something in the way you copy the files to your plugins folder.
Are you using an administrator account?

yes i'm using an administrator account..in fact there's only one user of my computer...no other user exists ...

thomthom

I don't know...

When you copy the files to the plugins folder (and you answer Yes to overwrite) do you see the filesize change? The file timestamp? When you open core.rb after copying it - do you see VERSION = '1.2.0' ?

yes I do see the filesize change. I also deleted the older selection toys folder, TT_Lib and .rb files but still no success. One weird thing is if I create a separate new plugins folder in SketchUp Directory and copy only the selection toys folder along with TT_lib..everything is fine [i.e. no error popup at startup of SketchUp] ...but the moment I cut paste the my other old plugins to this new folder....the problem reappears...

yes I do see the version 1.2.0

When you do that, are you asked to overwrite any files?

thomthom

Looking at your screenshot of your plugins folder I see the error. You have lots of old TT_Lib files directly in your Plugins folder instead of the sub-folder they should be at.

I tried highlighting them, but I'm not sure if I got them all, and some might be plugins (the one I marked with questionmark)

Thanks thomthom!!..I removed the files that you highlighted...no more popup on SketchUp start ... ..and yeah when i type TT_Lib::VERSION in ruby console i'm finally getting version 1.2.0 as the result...thanks a lot..!!

Glad it works
