[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.4d - 14 Aug 25

penumbra

by process of elimination i discovered today that Fredo6 plugins are making my SU 2017 Pro run very very slow at satrtup and when i invoke the toolbards dialog box. I disabled all my plugins to find that sketchup ran fine. i enabled Fredo 6 lpugins again and slowness occurs again. I ahve udpated to latest version of all Fredo 6 plugins but have found the probelm persists.

windows 7 64 bit syste 32GB ram
Video Card Nvidia quadro M1000M

Edit: perhaps not, also disabled Vray and find better performance.

@penumbra

You have a performance menu entry showing the time to load for my plugins. I am interested by the result.

Is the slowness only for the startup time, and/or after when you model in Sketchup. Do you observe a lag after you see all toolbars displayed?

It does not open in the window bar, but old versions work.
I use Windows 8 and SketchUp Pro 2017.

The accented "i" in your [Portuguese ?] Windows user name [ tha**í**s] is almost certainly causing the issue.
Accented characters broke many scripts, until the newer versions of SketchUp got an updated Ruby installation, with extra tools available to try and circumvent such problems...

However, Fredo's tools have for a long time forced file-path encoding etc into UTF-8 format...
So I am surprised that this issue has occurred, let's wait for Fredo's comments...

Fredo6 is upgrading his extensions, support for some older versions of SU are being deprecated to facilitate compatibility with newer coding. SU8 would definitely be on the list of no longer supported SU versions.

Helle

oh, what a shame. I read it as "pre-8" and thought I could use it. Thanks for the fast reply

cam_l

any chance someone has a copy of the last pre-su8-deprecated version of libfredo? not even sure which version that would be..

sketchartist023

I am still using SU8 and have been for many years. Will not upgrade, been everything I need and more. Any way to upload SU8 compatible versions again for use?
