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

Hmm... I just assumed it was LibFredo.. Might have been Bezier Spline as well. I had to temporarily remove them to do some development, but I'll install again and track down the exact messages.

You assumed right!
Actually most noisy traces were coming from BezierSpline, but I removed also two traces in LibFredo6.

So you'll have to upgrade both

BezierSpline 2.7b
LibFredo6 6.7b

I think a 'loose' LibTraductor file is très old, its now kept in the LibFredo folder ?
I believe that if you removed it altogether Fredo's tools should still work just fine after a restart...
If any RB file is [re]loaded which remakes existing Constants, then those warnings always appear in the Ruby Console.
If you are duplicating the translation code with two versions loading Ruby will warn you...

thomthom

Same as Jimini - I removed all files from previous versions, including the LibTraductor.rb - after installing I got warnings:

Error with the location of the directory LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir (on root drive instead catalog on this drive) has been going on for a long time. Is there a chance to solve it? Garbage in the root of drive is not very happy.

Dave R

It sounds like an installation error. How did you install it and where?

Evil Shrike

download from this site (http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=LibFredo6) and then install via dialog System Preferences -> Extensions -> Install Extension.

information from About dialog

INFORMATION
Plugin Subfolder = Fredo6_!LibFredo6
Plugin Root Directory = C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins
Default Parameters Directory = z:/LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir/DefaultParameters
Temporary Files Directory = z:/tmp

what i can change Default Parameters Directory ?

Hi all,

I've been trying to get this libfredo6 to work in the newer SU2015 without success.
I've used this in SU8 before and it worked fine then.

I've re-installed it several times, using various methods, manually, plug-in store, etc... but not matter what method, I still get the same error reporting:

Error Loading File Fredo6_!LibFredo6.rb
Error: #<ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8>

Now I've seen many others having this issue as well, and the culprit would be a question of encoding, but my latest attempt was with the auto-install from the sketchucation tool, and still the same result.

I'm on mac, and I doubt the osx version really matters.

I see so many posting this same thing, but no real fix for this. It's commonly encountered, so why no workable answer and a permanent fix?

Thanks

Because it is impossible to prevent users from installing older versions they used with older versions of SketchUp. Despite the endless warnings to avoid copying plugin/extension files from old versions of SketchUp, people still do it.

Very likely you still have old files remaining from your incorrect installation(s) of the library. Navigate to the Extensions folder [Plugins] and delete all LibFredo-related files and folders. Then reinstall automatically from the SCF Plugin Store plugin. Report the results.

If you copied any old versions of other plugins, delete them while you're at it and reinstall fresh copies.

TIG

The UTF-8 error shows that at least some of the required files are old.
With v2014 SketchUp's Ruby was updated to v2 and that requires all files to be encoded as UTF8-without_BOM.
Some Plugins were already compatible, but most authors rewrote there scripts to comply and released new versions for v2014.
These are generally backwards compatible with earlier SketchUp versions, and if it works in v2014 it will almost certainly be OK in v2015.
Install the latest versions from the PluginStore.

As Dave says if you have copied files over you might well have a rogue that is muddying the waters.
An example might be "Traductor.rb" - which was previously kept in the Plugins folder, but is now recast as "Lib6Traductor.rb" in the main Lib subfolder.
If this old and incorrectly encoded version is still loading it could mess things up...
So make sure that is not loading...
Remove it and restart SketchUp to see what happens...

Wrong! As I said, I used various methods for installing the library, including manual, but not by taking the old one from the working older SU plugins folder. I did mention using the autoinstall, and I even deleted the files before trying an other method of installation.

The files I installed many times, are all fresh, and nothing comes from the older SU install, which still does work.

I didn't copy plugins from the old sketchup to the new one, so I don't see how some old versions could make it though. Plus this SU2015 has been working fine with no errors until now, trying to install the libfredo (latest version) because I wanted to add fredoscale has been giving this error popup and the plugin doesn't load because of that.

Is there a way to track which file would really be the culprit? So far what I see leads to only libfredo.

I can't see myself removing all the plugins and have to go through re-installing them all individually.

One other thing, I also tried installing this same plugin in SU2014, and got the same error.

TIG

Well something is wrong !

Are you 100% sure you haven't moved something over - like Traductor.rb ?

Here's another idea...
Perhaps your Fredo preferences from an older version are cross-threaded with v2015, and therefore have incompatible file encoding ?

You're on a MAC !
On a PC they are in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local
subfolder LIBFREDO6_DATA_Dir
There is a dat file and some def files in a subfolder named DefaultParameters...

See if you have anything like that in your MAC's app or temp folder[s]...

If so try deleting them...
They should get recreated when the tools run anyway...

Can you also try this... Open this file using TextWrangler [or a similar plain-text editor]...
/Users/dg/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/Fredo6_!LibFredo6/Lib6Core.rb
Check its 'encoding'.
It should be UTF-8 [_without_BOM]
If not then what is it ?

Also open the Ruby Console window and type this: Sketchup.get_locale
What does it return ?
