      Hmmm ... I tried to create folder with same name but change capitalisation and it would not let me ....does it mean it is not case sensitive system?
      confirmed ... same file names with different capitalisation would not stand. OK so the problem is elsewhere.

        Assuming you do have a case-sensitive OS...

        A 'patch' means writing a [Ruby] tool that searches through all of the .rb files in the Plugins and Tools folders [and all subfolders] and finding if there is any capitalization of 'required/loaded' files - for example 'Sketchup.rb' and making it 'sketchup.rb' as the file is actually named. That's a lot of work... AND you can't redo any .rbs files as they are compiled and any capitalization issues are thereby 'hardcoded'.
        Alternatively find what the problem files are and make suitably capitalized versions in the same folders, so for example if a script says 'Sketchup.rb' make a duplicate copy of the Tools folder's 'sketchup.rb' named in the alternative way with a capital 'S', in the same folder - your OS being case-sensitive will allow this.
        This means duplicating a relatively few .rb files [most of these are Sketchup's installed system ones]. The downside of this is when you next install a Sketchup update some of its system files might be updated and then your 'capitalized' one are them out of date, and might cause other unexpected issues - this is unlikely within a version, but beyond a simple Maintenance release might change some files subtly... If you do this then keep a record of what you've duplicated with different capitalization and after an update check for changes and repeat as necessary...
        Examples might be:
        sketchup.rb >> Sketchup.rb
        gettingstarted.strings >> GettingStarted.strings
        etc
        The folders to look in are Tools, and perhaps Plugins...
        Any remaining error messages should give clues...

        I'm unsure what's 'broken' in my Extrusion tools perhaps post the errors in the tools thread to keep this under control...

        IF you don't have a case-sensitive OS - be thankful!
        Post screen-shots showing what's in the Plugins folder etc - I still suspect you haven't got some files inside the right folders - this can throw out the loading of other scripts too... so let's address each error as it arises, because it might fix other 'innocent' things...

              This suggests to me that you have some duplicate files loading...
              One file where it ought to be and one already inside Plugins - where you have messed up an install earlier on...
              Please refer to the original tools' pages about 'what goes where'...
              Also check that nothing inside one of these tool's subfolders is also now inside the Plugins folder, e.g. if [on the of chance 😒 ] you have mis-installed files in the incorrect places earlier and you have failed to think about trying to rectifying your balls-up before restarting !

                No - I asked him to do that after SU had started. Those warning are there because the constants where defined when SU started. I was hoping that manually reloading would give me a full call stack trace... alas...

                  Alack!
                  I'm sure there's a simple explanation to how he's balls-up this all up...
                  I'm sure its PEBKAC...

                          Hi Thomas

                          I am trying to install your plugin on my Imac and it is posting this error.

                          Plugins/TT_UV_Toolkit/loader.rb
> can't convert nil into StringError Loading File tt_uv_toolkit_2.rb
> can't convert nil into String

                          The error message actually included this string "Plugins/TT_UV_Toolkit/loader.rb" ?

                          What if you type in the Ruby Console: load 'TT_UV_Toolkit/loader.rb' - what messages do you get then?

                          Can we see a screenshot of your Plugins folder? (Please include the whole Finder window)

                            I will try the ruby console when I get back home.
                            thanks for looking into this.

                                      My suspicion is confirmed.
                                      But I don't understand - it gives no info about where the system temp path should be. 😮 😲 😕

                                      Exactly what OS do you have?

                                          Could it be because it is installed in the root? just guess.

                                            When you installed Sketchup did you accept the default folder location ?
                                            The ENV variable should contain lots of data - like your user-paths, temp/tmp folders etc...
