Google....give us back our back button[SOLVED]

+1 vote!!

There is a component browser as part of RpToolswhich has a 30 day trial. $75 after that
Nb This just browsers the component directory at the moment, but there has been a requested to allow it to search your computer. It also can also search 3d warehouse.
PS You can also use mouse to spin and orbit the component by dragging on the image preview.(EDIT) I wonder if Al could separate it from the other tools it and sell it at a reduced price, until we get the back button back

Still nothing from Google on giving us back the Back button?
Come on Google, please, it can't be that difficult to do and it would make things so much easier for us all.
-
YEAH!

Couldn't stand it any more and my 30 day trial for RPTools is running out, so I revisited this thread to see if Google ever popped their collectives out of the sand to offer a solution. Still no word I see...
The Google SkUp team must be really up against a wall. Kind of sad...maybe the old @Last crew will come out of retirement someday and pick up the pieces...
ITMT, one more vote for some kind of action...

Is it just me or is the lack of a back button on the components window really unhandy.
It's officially not just you. Six months of no Back button.
I think they sacrificed it to the god of the vertex for more polygon handling speed.
Proof that programming by means of ritual sacrifice does not work...
well, except when the sacrifice is your own life, your wife, your family, your health...
Anyway, the spirit of the original @Last guys is now truly gone, IMO.

Well if this is a petition then add my name to the list.
Bring back the back.

Running late but sounding great
Me too

i found a good and very simple interim solution
im using the windows explorer. i choose thumbnails and just drag&drop the components into the sketchup window.
works for me just fine

a.t.I'd love to be able to do that but I can't see a preview image in my thumbnails which is really annoying

Not sure why that would happen. In Views, are you seeing Thumbnails or Icons in Windows Explorer? Different settings...
This idea has allowed a complete reorganization of my components (100s) and much faster multiple drag and drop imports into a model.
Thx again

I think that 64bit system doesn't display the preview. Could be that.

I had that problem on Vista Ultimate 64. If you open Explorer and go to Tools, Folder Options, View Tab, there should be a setting for turning on image previewing. Unlike XP, Vista doesn't have a 'Thumbnail' view. You just set the size of the icons, and they will be the image preview, if you have the correct option turned on.

I've tried everything to get my thumbnails to show the component but nothing has worked. See this thread, http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=16015
As Thomthom said, I think its just a problem with Vista (one of many!)

No, not Vista - 64bit Windows. My 32bit Vista display .skp thumbs just fine, but my windows7 64bit doesn't. I expect hat XP 64bit also fails to display thumbs.

You can just drag and drop from adobe bridge. Simple as.
-
Side by side installs of SU7 and any previous version can screw up skp thumbnails in XP, the same probably applies for other MS OS's. I haven't worked out the "logic" behind this bug as it affects some skp files, but not others. You'd think it would be skp files saved in the previous version format that wouldn't display as thumbnails (or vice versa), but it's not as simple as that; it appears to affect skp files at random regardless of version format.
