Su slow to open
-
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.
-
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.rbtoVRayForSketchup.rb.disabledand then adds a menu item that will loadVRayForSketchup.rb.disabledon demand. -
Could you use the extensions window to disable plugins? (if theyre written to reside there, of course.)
-
They won't be unloaded until next time you start SU though.
-
Good point, but as long as you turned it off each time you shouldnt have any problems.
-
it's not really a very serious issue. i was just wondering how much i should restrain myself when it comes to new rubies
-
You should be ok as long as you dont add all of them
