Su slow to open

Sir

i doubt it would make a noticable difference

thomthom

V-Ray for SketchUp add a significant delay to SU's statup time. I made a plugin which prevents VfSU from loading at startup and let it be loaded on demand.

There is a possibility that extensions adds significant load time.

SU2POV also increases the open time substantially.

caddict

that's interesting because i have SU2POV installed.

thom, i like your idea of being able to load scripts as required. is your script specific to v-ray plugin or can it be generalised?

I'm guessing that these plugins are registering onOpenModel() observers that are doing significant work - which isn't a brilliant engineering decision.

Would be interesting to know what exactly they're doing.

Not V-Ray. The lag is only during the initial load of the plugin, not during creating of new model.

It's really simple. It renames the v-ray loaded from VRayForSketchup.rb to VRayForSketchup.rb.disabled and then adds a menu item that will load VRayForSketchup.rb.disabled on demand.

Could you use the extensions window to disable plugins? (if theyre written to reside there, of course.)

thomthom

They won't be unloaded until next time you start SU though.

remus

Good point, but as long as you turned it off each time you shouldnt have any problems.

caddict

it's not really a very serious issue. i was just wondering how much i should restrain myself when it comes to new rubies

remus

You should be ok as long as you dont add all of them
