[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v15.4d - 14 Aug 25
-
I figured some Windows related update may have hapened last night and i'd try to reinstall the plugins today. The problem was resolved out-of-the-blue just like it apeared.
Just thought you guys should know...

Help! Just installed LibFredo6 4.7 and now SU crashes! I overvrote the old version 3.7 and lost the old file! How can I bring it back to work??? I know, I should have saved the old LibFredo6.rb file... but I didn't. Can anyone help me? Where can I get the older rb file?
-
There should be no issues between old/new versions.
What do you mean by 'crash' ?
I suspect something else is causing the issue.
Can you post a screen shot of your Plugins folder...
Are you 100% sure that you have installed everything exactly as required?? -
This is really strange... I just set the computer back to before the last Windows update and now it works without any problem. Hmmmm... could it be an Update problem?

As TIG already requested once, post a screen shot of the Plugins folder. Also post one of the LibFredo6 folder.
It sounds like either an installation problem or a clash with some other plugin.

Well, now it works! I set the computer back to before the last update und... no problem anymore!
Strange, ha?

So why don't you remove LIBFREDO6_Dir_37?
And what happens if you update Windows again?

Oh, yeah, I forgot about removing that one now. I did that before... but it still was not working. I took all files an folders away and then I put them back one by one, testing each time. Everything went well until I copied the new LibFredo6.rb in the folder. Like I said... now it's working well. And... I have no clue what is going to happen after a new update. Probably I will be here, screaming for help again!

Sooooo... Windows updatet itself again... but wonder oh wonder... nothing bad is happened this time. SU works and LibFredo6 as well! No problems so far!

Go to the first post on the first page and look for the yellow Download button.

Can someone please help me out?
I have installed the libfredo6 according to instructions but i get these two messages on seketchup 8 startup:
Cannot load plugin LibFredo6 because the script cannot create DEFPARAM_Dir folder in:
/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/PluginsPlease create it manually, respecting the case
AND THEN
Error Loading File clf_color_by_slope.rb
undefined methodfile_loaded?' for main:ObjectError Loading File LibFredo6.rb undefined methodaverage_load_time' for Traductor::Plugin:Classwhat can i do about this? I am working on a mac with snow leopard.
Many thanks for your help!

Make sure you have full read and write permissions established for the Plugins folder specified in the first error message. Then try restarting SketchUp and see what happens.
The second error message appears to be due to the fact that LibFredo6 can't complete loading so fixing the first should take care or the second. Funny, though. I didn't know that Chris had made a plugin dependent on LibFredo6.
-
Don't think he has - but there's two errors there. When properly formatted:
Error Loading File clf_color_by_slope.rb undefined methodfile_loaded?' for main:ObjectError Loading File LibFredo6.rb
undefined methodaverage_load_time' for Traductor::Plugin:ClassFor the first -
clf_color_by_slope.rbwhen it saysundefined methodfile_loaded?' for main:Objectit sounds likeclf_color_by_slope.rbis the first .rb file to load and it doesn't includerequire 'sketchup.rb'` at the top.The second one - I don't know... That's a fredo thing. Maybe incorrect installation?
-
It was the line break that screwed me up.
-
Yea - it's an annoying and little helpful error message. ...I might bump this issue...
-
Thank you all for your suggestions- I realized the the color by slope plugin (separate from libfredo) that I had tried to install the day before, was also not loading and therefore also part of the error message.
The other plugins in my plugins folder all work, except for color by slope, and now the libfredo. The plugins folder seems kind of cluttered now. Is that ok?
As regards to permission, when I tried to install the libfredo, I did get the popup window asking for password in order to make changes to the plugins folder, and I gave it (since it is my own computer). I wasn't asked to give that access password in order to create any other folders or give access at any other point in the installation - and I do not know how to create the DEFPARAM_Dir folder that it asks me to create manually. (or rather, I don't trust myself to do it correctly and have things work)
Should I just try to do it manually? Will that work, do you think?
Thanks for helping a total novice!

You should change the permissions for the Plugins folder to Read and Write so that you don't run into these sorts of problems again when you install other plugins.
