[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v14.7a - 09 Nov 24

fedser

I found a problem with svg in SU2020. Problems were found in the registry. SU2020 does not register entries in EMU IE (as previous versions) why this is not known to me. This prevents fredo6 and SU2020 plugins from using IE resources. In order not to have this problem we need to register SU2020. Here are the keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]
"sketchup.exe"=dword:00002af8
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]
"sketchup.exe"=dword:00002af8

At least this explains the problem of not loading SVG. Thanks.

It should be th role of the Sketchup installer to do the registration however.

yes, but the SU2020 installer does not. SU developers may have missed this or it was intended to be. I registered manually, all plugins work fine ...

SU2020 does the registration correctly for me on three different computers. Are you certain you installed SketchUp correctly?

The problem only occurs with a clean installation. If you have installed SU19 or SU19 + SU20 together or are doing an update, then there will be no problem. Keys will already be registered. Maybe my installer is broken, but other users have the same problem. Now there is a solution ...

Fredo6, there is a tool in your plugin to show load times for plugins called 'Performances'.
Is it possible to track the load times for any plugin - not only yours?

General answer is No.

If you use my plugin AdditionalPluginFolders, which allows loading extensions from alternative directories (useful to share plugins between Sketchup versions), then you could see the load time for any plugin loaded, mine and others.

You just need to go to Window > LibFredo6 Settings... > View Trace Log files, and in the dialog box, scroll and expand the item AdditionalPluginFolders. Below an example from my machine. You see that WorkPlane (by TIG) took 26 ms to load.

I think this update caused SUClock (which is brilliant btw) to stop working. Is it possible or should i look for a reason elsewhere? Thank You !

EDIT:

It looks like the time is counting correctly, but it doesn't display the watch.

When drawing guide lines with draw tools in version 8.9b, they are divided automatically into segments like what you see in this gif

However, in the new version, there is no segment shown up in a guide line. So, is this feature deleted in the new version or is it bugged?

I found the problem. Very strange because it should have been present since long...

Anyway, I will publish and update to SUClock (v4.0a).

Note however that SUClock 4.0a will only be available for SU 2017 and above.

The behaviour you mention with LibFredo6 8.9b (division of guide line) is weird. There has never been a feature to divide guide lines in DrawAlong.

IMPORTANT: You seems to be on SU2016. Please note that LibFredo6 v10.0 and above does not support SU2016 and previous versions of Sketchup. It should only be installed for SU2017 and above.

I've been using SU for 4 years and I often use this feature in any drawings of mine. It helps me divide lines equally and arrange everything quickly with divided segments.

Now, I'm using SU2019 along with new updates of LibFredo 6 which doesn't enable me to have those guiding lines and segments anymore. I hope you will figure it out and recover that feature.

Please watch my gifs carefully again.
