        Could it be this plugin could use an update for V2014? If I use the Archiver option in the file menu - the current file gets renamed to some 10 digit name.tmp and no copy is made to the Archiver sub-directory. Windows7 X64

          Archiver is one of a few scripts that doesn't work in v2014, because they completely changed how model.save works... It IS on my list of things to fix...

                Version v2.2 is now available in the PluginStore:
                http://sketchucation.com/pluginstore?pln=Archiver
                It has some minor coding tweaks for cross-version compatibilities.

                  Hi Tig,
                  Archiver is creating temp files in the directory where the *.skp model is.
                  The "Archive" folder is created, but there is nothing in there.
                  Changing the *.tmp extension to *.skp allows me to open the file ok.
                  Using Win XP 64 Bit Pro and Sketchup 8
                  Is that the way it is suppose to happen?
                  Regards

                  Terry

                    It's supposed to use the tmp file as stepping stone, then rename files so you end up where you started, but with a saved 'snapshot' skp too...

                    Anything unusual about the path where your SKP is, or its name etc ?

                    Works OK for me...

                    TIG

                      TIG,
                      Have tried it in basic directory in C:\ and the same happens.
                      Thought it may have been something to do with using DropBox, but that is not the case.
                      *.TMP files are created, but nothing in the archives folder.
                      See attached,
                      Regards
                      Terry
                      PS Is there any way of debugging the Ruby script from my end, if that can be of any assistance,
                      Regards
                      T

                        Using something like a Dropbox synced folder could be causing the issue...
                        What version of SketchUp are you using, OS etc? [scant User Profile info!]
                        Do you have FULL security permissions to read / write to the Model [SKP's] folder and the nested 'Archives' folder ?

                        It works fine for me and many others, so clearly something is adrift...

                        If you run it with the Ruby Console open are there any error messages ?

                          I have exactly the same issue. The previous version still works fine on W7 x64 SU13.

                            Thanks for the Plugin
                            Can you please add an option thats create an Archive file automatically after a specified period of time?
                            Eg: Auto-Archive After every 15 minutes or auto-archive on each Auto-save (time set in preference> general)

                            I would love this feature because most of the time I forget to Archive. And can't go back enough.

                            Thanks again.
