I have loaded this plugin but my Fredo tools don't work. I get several prompts on opening SketchUp. According to the Plugin Manager I have the latest plugin.

Seems to be something quite old, because there is no longer a reference to LibFredo6 6.3 in the latest version of my plugins. Can you check for TopoShaper.

Also, ff you run LibFredo6 8.7a, could you send me the trace file (Windows > Library Settings > Trace Log File...
Another user has signaled me an anomaly with popup messages.

Thanks

Fredo

I choose "View Trace Log Files..." and nothing happens. Let me try updating. I know most plugins are recent updates, but some like TopoShaper may not be.

pbacot

hmm... check for updates doesn't work either.

fredo6

Same problem as Oxer. You are on Mac, and there seems to be a problem with Web dialog boxes.

Since you have FredoTools installed, could you check if

the Quick Launcher works
if Solid Volume displays a dialog box

Thanks

Fredo

Ok updating several Fredo6 plugins allows me to open without prompts and FredoTools and Fredo Collection seem to be in place as before!

Still when I choose "View Trace Log Files..." sometimes a window flashes on and off but nothing else happens.

FredoTools Launcher doesn't do anything.
Solid Volume flashes a window briefly.

@oxer, @pbacot,

Can you tell me which version of Safari you run on your Mac.

It seems that Safari does not like a change I made in my code related to dialog boxes.

Thanks

Fredo

Oxer

Yes, have you probe anther options like Defaults Options..., Translate Language.., etc?
To me, with all these options the popup window appear and disappear immediately.

macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 & SU2017

pbacot

I have Safari 12.0.2 (13606.3.4.1.4)

Oxer

I have Safari 12.0.2 (13606.3.4.1.4)

Can we have access to 8.7a again? I've searched absolutely every where I can't find it, 8.7d broke Windows dialog boxes. Thanks!

pbacot

Thanks Fredo for the help! (I just haven't got back to checking this last one.)

Fredo,

I can not install Cruviloft! This is the error:

Curviloft: This plugin requires LibFredo6 version greater than 68.
Current version is 75.

I couldn't find a higher version of LibFredo. What should I do?
Thank you so much.

I think the message is that you require LibFredo6 v8.6, and you have an old version (v7.5).

So just upgrade LibFredo6.

Your Windows user-name in Chinese [劉祐成] "Liú yòu chéng" seems to be causing the issue.
Ruby is having difficulty encoding it into UTF-8 format...
Having non-ASCII characters in user-names used to be a recipe for an error in Ruby; however, more recent versions are much better in forcing UTF-8 from such strings.

Typically using this in the Ruby Console:
ENV['USERNAME'].encoding
or
ENV['HOME'].encoding
Returns this:
Windows-1252

Which is then converted to the required encoding of UTF-8 in the Ruby processing.

What do you get returned for those ENV tests ?

Perhaps Fredo can strengthen his code to force that encoding ??
