Outliner causes crashes

No one willing to give feedback?

I guessed that this was on Mac, but unfortunately I am unable to reproduce it. I can move all the Outliners entities around without crashing.

Which OS version you have and which SU7 version you have?

Also, does it matter at all which components you move?

Do you have many SU windows opened?

I would try erasing your com.google.sketchuppro7.plist from
/Users/<yourusername>/Library/Preferences/

this will wipe your SU7 remembered settings, but it has helped before in issue with the Outliner.

hope this helps.
thanks.

Same on the PC, no luck reproducing this one.

Ok, I got it now.

It happens when I have more than one window opened with some nested components in them. With a single SU7 window opened it seems not to crash.

On the PC no luck at all, it just handles multiple windows much better.

Thanks for taking the time to get clarity on the issue.
I often have had multiple windows open primarily because I was learning SU, and found the need to reference back to either a YouTube video or the Online support manual.
I understand more what the "limits" are within SU and my Mac OS system.
Hopefully this will be addressed as I still want my multiple windows!!!
thanks again

Hey Red,
I hope we will be able to fix this one soon.
In the meantime let me know if it happens even with a single window.

and enjoy hawaii, for us landlocked people too.

Try closing the Components window pane when using the Outliner to sort your models.

I tried this, and it stopped crashing (so far). I use a Mac also.

Dang... You just brought a 2009 thread back to life...

It was the top topic on a google search for the problem, and it remained unresolved. Leaving it unanswered was screwing with my sense of order!

Seriously, this bug basically meant I never used Outliner (for 5 years!). I feel like I've rediscovered my sketchup childhood - the one where all the other kids went off on their special trip, while I was stuck at home sick.

I never have the outliner open when I'm working... It always slows operations and navigation of the model.
