ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect

This is what I got !

Could you now execute the following commands in the Ruby console, one after the other

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")

a.encoding.inspect

Thanks

manoamo

Thank you so much for your kind help!

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect

#Encoding:CP949
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")
C:\Users\￈ﾫ﾿￬ﾺ￳\AppData\Local
a.encoding.inspect
#Encoding:UTF-8

This is what I got

C:\Users\￈ﾫ﾿￬ﾺ￳\AppData\Local
a.encoding.inspect
#Encoding:UTF-8

This is what I got

Then, can you try the following commands

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub("\\", "/")

and then this command

LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV "LOCALAPPDATA"

@manoamo

Thank you. Very useful.

I think this is a bug in the core ruby engine.

I'll see what I can do in order to overcome the problem.

@manoamo

Could you try

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

Thanks

Fredo

manoamo

I tried the last typing but I failed again
I typed the codes in this sequence

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encoding.inspect
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")
a.encoding.inspect

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")
a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8").gsub("\", "/")
ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")

LibFredo6.get_dir_from_ENV "LOCALAPPDATA"

Thanks

@manoamo

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

manoamo

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.force_encoding("UTF-8")

C:\Users\￈ﾫ﾿￬ﾺ￳\AppData\Local

fredo6

Ok. Thanks I think we progress.

Can you try this statement (only this one)

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\\/, "/")

if there is an error, can you try this one

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub("\\", "/")

Many thanks

Fredo

manoamo

Good to hear!

These are what I got back

First,

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub(/\/, "/")

true

Second,

File.directory? ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].dup.encode("UTF-8").gsub("\", "/")
true

fredo6

OK. Thanks.

I will publish a fix and it should hopefully work for you.

Fredo

I have your latest version as of 02 december 2020 of libFredo6. I have SketchupPRO 2021.
I believe I have followed your instructions to load libFredo6 and Curvizard v2.4b.
There is libFredo6 under Window, but no Curvizard under Extensions. I have restarted (several times).
Any Ideas?
Thank you
rj

No matter how many times you restart SketchUp, Curvizard isn't supposed to show up under Extensions. It shows up in Tools>Fredo6 Collection. Or you can turn on its toolbar button under View>Toolbars.

Hello fredo, Hope you're fine, I have tried everything in order to make the fredo tools work and it still not workingm the tool bare's aren't even showing up. I even uninstalled and installed sketchup 2019 pro, installed the extensions several times but still no fix, could you or someone please help me out.

Kind regards

@Aiden900

A few things to consider...

Did you install SketchUp correctly ?
You can repair it and avoid a full re-installation...
While you are logged into Windows as your normal user account, ensure SketchUp is closed.
Find the v2019 installer exe file - usually in your Downloads folder ?
Select its icon, right-click > context-menu > "Run as administrator"
When prompted choose "Repair"...
After it completes restart SketchUp and retest...

I assume you are installing from the RBZ using the Extension Manager > Install... button ??

Fredo's extensions [almost all] need his latest LibFredo RBZ installing - available separately from the PluginStrore.
Have you downloaded and installed that too ?
On its own a Lib does nothing - but it adds vital support for his other extensions...
So have you downloaded and installed the latest Fredo Tools from the PluginStore ?

Are you aware where the Fredo Tools menu is ? [i.e. under Tools]
The FredoTools toolbar button might need activating in your View > Toolbars... dialog's list ?

When clicked that toolbar button opens a second dialog listing many of Fredo's tools - click on the name of one of them and it launches...
Are the two expected Fredo entries listed in the Extension Manager dialog ?
Are they activated in the listing ?

Box

Just checking, libfredo doesn't do anything on it's own. It is a helper folder for various Fredo extensions.
So installing just LibFredo does nothing.
