Call to Mac users for script portability

driven

Hi,

Mac user returning to SU (haven't really use since @last stopped sending me free pro licenses... a while ago

Trying to add all the things that use to drive me mad and putting them in the right place seems to be an issue, I'm having no joy getting this to work.

It is on SU, the two buttons are there and dim when clicked, but there's no tool or functionality change.

Can someone out there post a screenshot or video of a working setup.

I have found some of the other scrips worked after moving bits downstream.

cheers in advance

This is where it's not working from on mine

hey john
you have everything in the right place but that's the old freescale ver1

you might want to try version 2 to see if things go more smoothly.

here are the direct links to the downloads:

[freescale_20e]
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/download/file.php?id=26091

[libfredo6_31e]
http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/download/file.php?id=26089

i think your problem might be that you're using an older version of freescale with a newer library...

remove the following 5 items from your SU plugins folder:
%(#FF0000)[FREESCALE_Dir_10
LIBFREDO6_Dir_31
LibFredo6.rb
ZLoader__FreeScale.rb
DEFPARAM_Dir]

then, add the items to your SUplugins folder from the links i gave above which will be:
%(#0000BF)[FREESCALE_Dir_20
ZLoader__FreeScale.rb
LIBFREDO6_Dir_31
LibFredo6.rb
DEFPARAM_Dir]

this will assure you have the latest version and files that are compatible with each other(version 2e)

BINGO!

all icons are showing and working... the hand shows up when hovering over all icons..

nice work fredo.

everything else looks good too (size of the dialog box, title showing, cancel-reset-save buttons are visible, colors work, function keys work, etc.)

as far as i can tell, it's fully mac ready.

thanks so much!

Jeff,

Thanks for your support.
I still need to find a way to control the height of table rows, but that's more to do with Safari browser. So I may need some extra support in the coming days.

Problem about padding in table rows

Here is an update to check if I can get control of the table rows margins on Mac. This only impacts the Default Parameters Dialog boxes.

Thanks to advise

i'm not sure what the table row margins are but as far as i can tell, the only difference with the latest file is that it adds something weird to sketchup in general..

that little square isn't part of the icon.. it's just floating on top (i can move the toolbar and the square will remain).. that's what the bottom-right corner of a window in os x looks like and it's used for resizing the window.

Did you notice the little sqare with the previous version (I mean the one fixing the button image)?

for the row heights, they should normally be smaller (as they are on Windows). At least, this is the intent!

Fred

PS: the very first time you call a web dialog (Translation or default parameters), I open and close an empty web dialog in order to determine some parameters of the browser, such as the version, the screen size, etc...). You should normally see this event.

my bad.. i think that was being caused by a screencapture app i'm demoing (the one i used to make the red arrow in the previous post )...

the row heights appear the same though:

(that's scrolled down a little to show all the icons)

ah, i see.. it's not a problem at all with the way they are sized now but maybe your attention to detail is greater than mine

yeah, i see that.. a fast flash of a blank window prior to the freescale dialog popping up..

hmm.. nope it's the latest config file causing it.

i closed everything except sketchup and the little square pops up right after i open the freescale parameters.

[edit] and upon reverting to the original config file (the one in version e), i get the same thing so it's not the cause..

i'll try to go back through some of the other files to see which update it starts with.

fredo6

Jeff,

Don't spend your time finding out. It is very plausible that it related to SU Web dialogs, where the modal mode for Web dialogs does not really exist on Mac. So LibFredo6's fault.

Can you try the attached file and watch:

the little square
the row heights

jeff hammond

looking good..
no little square and the rows are smaller

fredo6

Jeff,

Thanks. That was the reason for the small square. You're the first one to notice.
For row heights, it seems I have also found the subtilities for Safari (which behaves very differently from IE).

Could you make a try with the 2 attached files on:

the Default Parameter dialog boxes
The translation boxes
the language definition dialog box (within the translation dialog box, select 'New language' in the combo box at the top left).

Thanks

jeff hammond

these ones make the row spacing big again in the default parameters.

i haven't opened the language boxes lately but they're looking like the original parameters windows.
this is how they look with the new and old files..

fredo6

Well, this means that Safari definitely takes some freedom with the W3C specifications.
Can you try this one then?

Hi Fredo and Jeff,

it's working for me now (cheers for the heads up Mac info Jeff) , including arrow keys and shft lock

and thanks for a nice program Fredo

I just finished a length of c1962 Moulton bicycle frame tube (tappered and formed thin wall)

I'm very happy... I've attached pics of both yesterdays and todays LibWeb Parameters

cheers

john

I emailed you some screen shots, won't upload.

fredo6

John,

From the screenshots, I see that the top and bottom margins are still a little bit large.

Can you try with the attached file and tell me if the margins get smaller.

Thanks

Fredo

to drop into LIBFREDO6_Dir_31 folder

jeff hammond

yep, the margins are now smaller and almost everything is visible without stretching the window..
the only problem i see now is that i have to stretch the window in order to see the 'save' and 'close' buttons for language translations.. also, when i select 'new language' from the 'translate into' dialog, there's no way to stretch the window so i'm not sure if there are supposed to be save/cancel buttons at the bottom.

screenshot 1.jpg

the default parameter dialogue is still ok ( with both libfredo6 and freescale)

[btw, i'm moving the windows into these positions for ease of making the screenshot.. normally, these exact two windows wouldn't be opened together.. this is how it looks if i don't change anything and only go Language Translation-> Translate Into -> new language.. ]
screenshot 2.jpg

it's the same with libfredo6 and freescale

fredo6

Jeff,

I am a little bit lost. Are you sure you ever saw the push buttons of the Translation (and Language List) dialog boxes ? It seems you have the same old bug about windows half displayed which I fixed for the Default Parameter box.

Just to be sure, I reattach the 2 files that correspond to my current version.

Again, many, many thanks for your help to all, I know this is a lengthy process, but actually it did not worked that bad!

no, i can't remember ever seeing the buttons for the translation box (though i haven't been checking it with all of the updates.. i've just been looking at default parameters).
the translation boxes look like the the default parameter boxes did when this thread started so i guess whatever you did to fix the default params would be the same thing you could do to the translations?

oh, no problem.. it's good timing for this because i haven't had any onsite work lately.. just at home with the kids

fredo6

Jeff,

Do you mean that the Translation box is still 'half-shown' with the latest rb files?

jeff hammond

yes, it is still half shown using the latest attached files
