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

Goonster

Downloaded and installed the latest version but it does not show up in SU. I copied both the LIBFREDO6_Dir_37 folder and the LibFredo6.rb into the plug ins folder as shown but it just won`t show. I thought the .rb file might need unblocking - which I did. But still no joy. I already have the Fredoscale plug in which works fine.
Any ideas?

I use Win7 Home Premium 64bit with SU8.

LibFredo6 is not really a plugin but a library.
Since you have FredoScale working fine, from what you say, it means you have a version of LibFredo6 installed.
Can you check the menu Windows > LibFredo6 Settings... > About

Sorted it. I downloaded LibFredo6 3.7b but forgot to download the actual plug in! Sorry.

Hi Fredo,

I have been getting the following errors when I try to check plugins for updates.
I click on the red ruby icon and nothing happens (the update window doesn't come up)
and I get the following in the ruby console:

C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/ruby/singleton.rb;84; warning; already initialized constant FirstInstanceCall
C;/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/ASGVIS/VfS/Ruby/VfSObservers.rb;307; warning; don't put space before argument parentheses
C;/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/ruby/singleton.rb;84; warning; already initialized constant FirstInstanceCall

The last thing I did, which may have caused this was install GhostComp 1.0 - but I have tried removing it and the error still comes up.
Any ideas?

edit: If I click on "check updates" through the menus, everything works... it's just through the ruby button that it gives errors.

Thanks!

edit2: Forgive me! I think I confused your update plugins ruby (which is part of libfredo) with a different ruby that has the same "ruby" icon which is called Autoloader.... so never mind! my bad!
everything is working fine!!

Apologies if this has been answered already, I'm getting this when I start sketchup. Is there a simple fix. Apple imac, SU7.

There must currently be some permissions set that prevent you making folders/files in that location - either fix the permissions so you can [advisable]... OR make the folder that is needed... as clearly spelled out in the message

I have problems with the update option too... Every time that I want to go to "Check Plugins for Update" nothing happens. If I have the ruby console open it says:

Error; #<RangeError; 9947298230.424000 out of Time range>

Any idea what´s happening?

Daniel,

two questions

How many days did you set the "next check" in the dialog box
Can you type the following command in the Ruby Console: Upgrade.duration_next_check

Thanks

I put 999 the first time because I wanted to do a manual check. But then the update option stop working.
I try deleting and reinstalling Libfredo6 but the problem was still there.
Now In default parameters "Next Check in (days)" says 15. But I´m not able to check.

@unknownuser said:

I tried and give different results. It says:

Upgrade.duration_next_check
Error; #<NameError; (eval);157; uninitialized constant Upgrade>
(eval);157

Upgrade.duration_next_check
Error; #<NameError; (eval);677; uninitialized constant Upgrade>
(eval);677

or:

Upgrade.duration_next_check
Error; #<NameError; (eval);54; uninitialized constant Upgrade>
(eval);54
(eval);1; warning; Float 0.0 out of range

Daniel,

Sorry I meant Traductor::Upgrade.duration_next_check

Fredo

Daniel S

When I put:
Traductor::Upgrade.duration_next_check
it says:

Traductor;;Upgrade.duration_next_check
99999.0

Daniel,

This is where is the problem: 99999 is too big for a number of days.
Can you change it in the default parameters or in the Upgrade dialog box
I'll put a check in a next release

Fredo

I can´t change the 99999 because:

The Upgrade dialog box don´t open
In default Parameters I can change it but it doesn´t really change.
In the attach video I show what happens.

I tried reinstalling LibFredo6 but still no work.

If you feel up to adding one line of code into a rb file using a plain text-editor like Notepad[++].exe... find this file open it and add this line and save it Then you can't wait more than a year [365 days]

@TIG: thanks also for your quick support.

The CheckFor Update functions is actually opened to other script writers, not just mine. It does not require that the scripts use LibFredo6 (by the way, JPP an BezierSpline don't use LibFredo6 but are visible in the list).

To find buggy code in others scripts I start off with Baregrep looking for the particular method or reference by name...
That then lets me open the potentially problematical .rb directly at the line indicated and I can read the code and hopefully see what needs adjustemnt...
I even do it with my own stuff, as it's often awkward to work out what's defined/changed where - especially months after you wrote it...
