      Here we go.

      Navigate to the Plugins folder, right click on it and choose Get Info. At the bottom of the window click on the Lock icon to allow changes. Enter your password as required. Then change all of the permissions to Read & Write. Close the Info box. Make sure you have already quit SketchUp and open it. LibFredo6 should now be able to create the file it needs to make.

      FWIW, I have added the Plugins folder to the Favorites column so I can easily drag plugins from the Downloads folder to Plugins without any real navigation. The Sketchucation Store plugin makes it much simpler to find and install plugins, though.

            Is this something you can reproduce systematically?

            Thanks

              Hello Fredo,

              I am trying to install LibFredo6 per your instructions and keep getting an error message, as shown in the attached screen shot. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I am running SU pro 8 on a mac.

                You do not have sufficient security-permissions to the Plugins folder - its path is given in the error-message.
                Some tools need to write logs and other temporary files into the folder or a subfolder, if you have limited rights they can't and therefore fail.
                This has been discussed oin several posts - including in this very thread.
                So you need to set your security-permissions to FULL Read/Write...

                    Hmmm i have a problem suddenly that if i have libfredo 4.7c installed, my Sketchup bugsplats. Worked fine yesterday. Tried reinstalling, clearing plugin folder : sketchup works then and keeps working while i put my plugins back until i put libfredo back. Even tried clean install with just libfredo installed, no other plugins at all, crashes too .. looks confused. Can i get 4.7a somewhere still to test with ? Or anybody has any ideas what the problem might be ?

                      It won't suddenly turn bad.
                      Have you installed something else recently.
                      That might be clashing with Fredo's normally peaceful toolsets...

                      There are several BIM tools around that add rogue observers etc that then cause issues with legit tools...
                      It's odd it's crashing with just Fredo's ??
                      Try installing his tools afresh, then add back in other tools till it breaks, you then have the clasher ???

                        Haven't installed any plugins lately.

                        Ok just tried again to make sure.

                        Step 1 : delete everything in plugin folder.
                        Step 2: start Sketchup to test : works
                        Step 3 : download libfredo 4.7c from 1st page here, unzip to plugins folder
                        Step 4 : start Sketchup to test : bugsplat

                          You should NOT delete everything - some Plugins files/folders arrive with SketchUp.
                          Try reinstalling/repairing SketchUp iself.
                          Then add the Fredo-Lib...

                          If it fails again a screen shot of your Plugins folder please...

                            Ok, uninstalled and reinstalled Sketchup
                            Installed Libfredo 4.7c : seemed fine at first
                            Then went on with installing the sketchucation plugin store : bugsplat
                            Removed plugin store : still bugsplat
                            Removed libfredo 4.7c : sketchup works again
                            Installed all my plugins except libfredo 4.7c : works
                            Installed libfredo 4.7c again : bugsplat
                            Uninstalled libfredo 4.7c and installed 4.7a : works

                            I think something is wrong with 4.7c checking for updates of other plugins or something like that ?

                              Nevermind, same thing is happening with 4.7a now too all the sudden .. and sketchup works again when i remove it. I don't get it .. fresh install of sketchup with just libfredo works, anything else i add : bugsplat until i delete libfredo.

                                Do you run SU on a Mac or on Windows?

                                    Select the Plugins folder icon: right-click > context-menu > Properties > Security > Edit.
                                    Ensure everyone in the list has FULL rights...
                                    OK to apply and close...
                                    Being an 'admin' doesn't guarantee that the Plugins folder is [fully] writable for you - this can cause subtle issues...

                                          Glad you recover the situation.

                                          However the problem you encountered is puzzling.

                                            Yes i know, i never had it happen before and it doesn't make any sense. Anyway, thank you Fredo and TIG for trying to help. πŸ˜„ All this made me realize how addicted i am to Sketchup and all the plugins you guys make. Half a day with Sketchup not working and i was going completely nuts. πŸ˜†
