Save/Restore SketchUp 7 Workspace for Windows
-
how about if the script writters don't load a toolbar at all but simply present a msgbox if their script isn't loaded asking if you want to load it, that way all the other toolbars are already loaded into their previous positions before loading a new one?
another thought; could someone not write a ruby that writes a log of all installed scripts when SU closes, then when SU opens check for any new scripts and prompt you to load them or not?

Thank you!
Your plugin is really working! -
Jim, I missed this plugin. It looks promising

this is a great new feature !
i had lost a couple of my dialog boxs somehow maybe due to me using two screens ...
upgrading to 7.1 and using this new feature fixed the problem
-
hey jim, just got around to using this in anger.
Couple of suggestions: would it be possible to just save the toolbar positions, or perhaps have an option to save other things? Personally i find resetting keyboard shortcuts a little annoying.
-
Hmm, the script saves the entire Sketchup 7 registry - toolbars, shortcuts, window sizes and positions.
It should have restored everything.
-
It does save everything and thats the problem
I want to keep my shortcuts as they are and just reset the toolbars. -
I tried in a Windows Vista and all i get is " Access denied " any idea the reason ? Firewall ?
Thanks

are you using an admin account? can you right click->run as administrator?
-
Thank you soooo much!
I keep having my plugins and toolbars scrambelled and I spent so much time on arrenging them.
Thank you for saving me time -
I've made a Windows executable for saving/restoring the SU prefs (no malware, no spyware, no adware, no installation).
tested w/ XP, should work w/ Vista/7 too; even though, use at own risk.
just holler if anything doesn't work or a something is missing.

[notwithstanding how long ago these posts were..] I was really hoping your program would solve this great annoyance in SketchUp 7 running on Windows 7; here's what happens:
When I click "Save", the dialog just disappears and reappears. Then when I go to "Restore", it brings up a file dialog prompting for a .reg file.. but no reg file was ever saved (or I don't know where), nor was I prompted to save one.
As for the script that started this thread, though it's necessarily complicated (why hasn't google addressed this annoyance??), it's a lifesaver, so THANX Jim!

Open the .bat in notepad.exe, edit the number 7 in line 20 - make it an 8.

This Script is awesome, works great!
It saves me a lot of time not to re arrange my workspace on a dual monitor.
Thanks Jim -
Hi.
Is it possible to transfer tool-bar position settings between SU versions (from 7 to 8 in my case)? BackUping SU7 prefs and using this .reg file fore restoring SU8 (Windows executable by sketch3d.de) didn't work.
Thanks in advance. -

the tool did not do any version conversion, selecting the SU version has effect on backing up only.

...seem to work normally, but nothing is saved.
could be missing user rights (see lower left corner), try if running by "Right-Click > Run as Admin..." works.
