[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.8e - 15 Feb 26
-
Do you have the very latest version of LibFredo installed ?
Yes
Do you only have it loading from one Plugins folder ??
I have no additional plugin foldersBefore installing the files you provided, I compared them side by side with those already installed and they appear identical to what I had already installed.
I saw nothing in LibFredo6.plugin that mentions "UTF-8 without BOM", however the Load Error message says, " invalid byte sequence in UTF-8>" which, obviously, does not add "without BOM". Significant?Nevertheless, I put the files you provided into:
C:\Users\jamesb\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins\Fredo6_!LibFredo6Upon startup of SU I received the same load errors as before.
Since Lib6Core does not have line numbers I could not I could not find lines identified in Load Errors.

Bob, just to be sure, you say you have no other plugin folders but you did have a dropbox one and have been setting up a Cloud one. They may well have an errant copy of LibFredo hiding in them.
Go to the Sketchucation Plugins Manager, the blue button on the toolbar, and check the dropdown menu at the top. Are there any other folder locations showing there?

No
Well, actually, yes. Spacemouse (3Dconnexion) and Thea Render files are there in C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015\SketchUp\Plugins

I suspect that some old files somewhere are interfering with things, because they are wrongly encoded.***
Can you manually remove the 'loader RB' [
Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb] and the entire LibFredo subfolder and its contents [Fredo6_!LibFredo6] from your Plugins folder.
If you have a redundant copy of the oldLibTraductor.rbin your Plugins folder, then also remove that [it now comes installed within the main Lib subfolder].
All other Fredo-plugins files and subfolders should be left alone...Next, reinstall the latest version of 'LibFredo' from the PluginStore AutoInstall button - to ensure you have the full set of the current files [and nothing more!].
Restart SketchUp to complete all of the changes.
***The encoding 'UTF-8 without BOM' refers to how the file itself is encoded, there is nothing in the typed code's text itself.
You can view/change a file's encoding using Notepad++exe, that app also lets you show line numbers too etc...
Older Ruby versions were forgiving of an RB file's encoding, but the newest Ruby2 chokes on incorrectly encoded scripts - hence I suspect the 'UTF-8' error messages... -
Did as instructed and got the same error message so I reinstalled all of your plugins.
This is the list of all Fredo6 plugins I have installed.

Bob,
Just remove the old versions
It is actually the old LibFredo6.rb which is creating the problem

Thanks Fredo.
At last we see what the old error-inducing file was...

We will get there.
The first thing I see that's not right is that you have a copy of the 'Fredo6_!LibFredo6' folder INSIDE the 'Fredo6_Curviloft' folder.
It is not needed, it's not as shipped and should be removed.
Although I can't see how that might be affecting things !
The only 'Fredo6_!LibFredo6' folder should be in the Plugins folder.After the removal of the wrong copy can you restart to see if anything is better...
You also appear to have several OLD versions folders and files that are not needed and might cause issues... [all of Fredo's latest compatible stuff tends to now start with 'Fredo' - exceptions being '!AdditionalPluginFolders.rb' ?]
LibTraductor.rb
JPP_Dir_20
ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23
TOPOSHAPER_Dir_10
TOS_Dir_18Perhaps 'DEFPARAM_Dir' - Fredo to advise ??
You also have some files named:
cd_power_extension_m.rb
cd_power_m.rb
cd_power_n.rb
etcAre they the toolbar ones causing issues with adding 'rogue files' [can't see those files though] ??
NOT sure about 'BZ_Dir_17' or 'DOCUMENTATION_Dir' - Fredo should advise...
Also, what are the 'round_corners.rb', 'loader.rb', 'autoloader.rb' and 'AUTOLOADER_Dir' ?
These don't sound right ??You do have dozens of Plugins enabled and loading, so one of those might be throwing Fredo's Lib off unfairly...
If we are still having issues can I suggest you use the SketchUcation Plugins Manager, make a Set of the current setup [blue button], the Select all of the Enabled/Loaded plugins, except for the 'Fredo' ones, and then use the red button to Disable them. Save that set as another name...
Now restart SketchUp.
If we still get the issue with Fredo's Lib then we know it's not from an interaction with the others.
BUT if we don't have problems you can start loading back the Disabled ones a few at a time, until you break it - then you have a suspect/culprit... -
Bob,
Why don't you simply remove all my plugins files and folders, and then reinstall from the Plugin Store, checking at each step that this is OK.

OK, try my suggestion first to tidy up, and then to have only Fredo's stuff loading [Plugins Manager] - if there's no issue something else is to blame and we are a step nearer catching the little varmint[s]...
You do have far more than the average number of Plugins loading, so it is quite possible something is producing weird results, so it's possible that Fredo's latest Lib is the collateral damage, and quite 'innocent'...... -

After the removal of the wrong copy can you restart to see if anything is better... .I noticed that and removed it, It had no effect.
I removed all Fredo plugins and did a fresh install using SketchUcation Plugin Store so what's there came from those installations. -
Please re-read my post...
I suggested that you Disable 'everything that is not "Fredo"' - temporarily, using the Plugins Managers Sets to make it easy...
And restarted SketchUp to see if the error remains.
Disabling the Fredo stuff might prevent that error appearing - but something that still loads might still then cause the error when the Lib is re-enabled - so we are not a step forward...IF you still get the Fredo Lib errors with only the Fredo stuff loading then it is to blame...
BUT if not something else which you currently have Disabled is actually the culprit...Since you have nothing odd about your windows-user-name or your Windows setup, you should not have these errors, IF all of your installed plugins are compatible with 'UTF-8...'
Please try my steps to see what is the culprit - I think it's NOT Fredo's Lib, but something that is interacting with it unexpectedly...
I wait to be proved wrong -
@tig said:
Please re-read my post...
I did those things before you sent that message
I'm working on your suggestions now. -
:heart_eyes:I'm happy to announce to TIG and Fredo that all is well
I deleted:- LibTraductor.rb
JPP_Dir_20
ROUNDCORNER_Dir_23
TOPOSHAPER_Dir_10
TOS_Dir_18
cd_power_extension_m.rb
cd_power_m.rb
cd_power_n.rb
Although I don't know which one was the bad guy because I deleted all of them at once. I didn't use SketchUcation Plugins Manager because I've never used it before and didn't want to mess things up by doing it incorrectly.
'BZ_Dir_17' is Bezierspline
'DOCUMENTATION_Dir' is emptyI'm sure you both are relieved as much as I that this is resolved.
Thank you both for your extra effort and patience.
