Ruby to organize plugins

Hmm, what does it say below that? THat is where the error messages are that help debug the problem.

Chris,
Here's the whole error statement.

This is somewhat difficult to explain. There may be some folders in your Plugins folder that don't need to have their contents loaded by Organizer (Podium and Subsmooth are two that come to mind) - and in fact, trying to load their contents can cause problems (as you have experienced). Fortunately, there's a solution for that.
The .zip included a file called SmustardOrganizerExcludeFolders.txt. Open that and add to it any folder names that you didn't create as part of your organizing efforts. I suspect you may have a folder that includes "IDX" in its name. You would add that name to the .txt file. That will prevent Organzier from trying to load any ruby files in that folder and will thus prevent the error messages.
If you still have problems, let me know.

I put IDXRenditioner.bundle in the SmustardOrganizerExcludeFolders.txt file, but I still get the same error.
What's really strange is that IDXRenditioner.bundle is a Mac file for IDXRenditioner and is not, and should not be, in the PC Plugins folder.
I've reloaded IDX Renditioner so I know it's the latest PC version 1.1.5.78

A good idea will be to have a webdialog and something like a filter to search the plugin.
Then with a double click execute the ruby.
Here I make a simulation:
this one isn't a simulation:

[edit] just in case the movie isn't clear as day: you can either choose the tool using that method or it will simply show you where it's at.

Below could be a field for selecting toolbars show/hide. Not all are needed everytime.
oh yeah.. it can do that too.

[note kerkythea tool bar next to the standard tool bar]
[edit].... and speaking of kerkythea... i'll try this on windows via x11...

you can buy it here..
Apple
Explore the next generation of iPhone — iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17, iPhone Air. Plus, AirPods Pro 3 and additions to the Apple Watch family.
Apple (www.apple.com)
just spend a few grand on their hardware and they'll throw the feature in for free.
it's built into leopard.. it works with all apps... i see you also have a mac so try it out on there.
certain apps don't get that big of an advantage (photoshop for instance: the clone stamp tool is only in a tool bar and you can't navigate the menus to get to it so it won't show up in the search).. it works really well with sketchup however because all of the tools/actions can be found via the menus.
it's only searching the menus items and help files..

The "SmustardOrganizerExcludeFolders.txt" file should only contain the names of subfolders in the Plugins folder, not specific files.
Please contact me at Smustard, as there are a few specific things I'd like you to try.

Okay, you got me there
Seems like a sucker punch though 
Thanks, though, I'd not realized that the Help button would do that. -
nah bob.. no sucker punch..
i just found out about it 3 weeks ago or so when i finally upgraded to leopard and read one of those "99 hidden leopard features" type of articles..
