[Plugin] CleanUp
-
IE version is 7.0.5xxx. I never use IE so I've not updated to V8 or is it V9, now?
-
V9 is coming very soon.
I'd recommend you update IE even though you don't use it as your browser, because applications make sue of the IE engine. Such as SU which use IE for webdialogs.
(though you might as well just wait for IE9 - which is an extremely good update to IE.) -
Alright, I'll upgrade. How long do you think until IE9? If it's just days, I'll wait. Otherwise I'll go ahead and update to 8
-
I'm using the latest beta of IE9 - no problems so far.
-
I looked at IE9 and find I would need to upgrade to Windows 7 which I don't really want to do right now. I guess I'll get IE8.
-
This looks totally useful!! I can't wait to try it out!!

I think Vista is minimum requirement.

Hello sir,
Thank you very much for ...... the new version .......

thomthom. thats great! really nice and clean new UI. I like it quite a lot.
one thing though: in a former version there was an option to use cleanup without a settings box. then last version a little info box was introduced, popping up after every cleanup.
and now, with the new version, you always get the settings box.unfortunately that really conflicts with my workflow. I have a shortcut button dedicated for your plugin (Ctrl + Shift + D. because my shortcut for eraser tool is D). and quite often I run your plugin on a selection (like, every other minute). usually I don't want to mess with the settings then, just clean up unneeded edges.
I know you want the menu-entities to be clean and simple. but do you think there might be a way to introduce a menu-entry to run your script with the current settings without opening the settings window at all; and ideally suppressing the info box afterwards? that would be magnificent!
and thanks again for the update it is very quick!
[Edit] oh, and theres always a second little info box called "Validity Check" popping up, stating "Results of Validity Check. No problems found". I don't know what it's for. but for me it doesn't seem ot make too much sense

I was going to say it now. I have shortcut for clean unneeded edges, very useful for my workflow. But now, it's not working. But this is great plug-in, specially the option to merge materials. I love you!!!

I can add back a menu item. I just didn't think it was used by anyone.

[]I mentioned it in the video, and I think I added a tooltip about it. It does the same function as the Fix Problems button in the Model Info.
You can disable it by unticking Validate Result.
Its on by default because when cleaning up, especially coplanar faces SU tend to report some minor things that needs fixing after processing complex geometry. -
Dave: I've installed XP Mode and tried it out on a virtual PC with IE7 and I see the error. Seems to be an issue with IE7 and older. Will look into it next week.
-
Thanks Thomas. If it isn't difficult to fix that's fine. I guess I can live with clicking through the error messages though.
Cheers,
Dave

I hope so. I'm not sure what it is - as IE8 and OSX works fine. Hopefully it's a small tweak. (Though it's IE we're talking about so...
)
If it's an easy fix I'll do it. At least for IE7.I tried it under IE6 and there was all kinds of weird stuff - but I'm not touching IE6 at all. Wasted enough of my live with that browser!
-
Dave, if it is all the same for you (as you do not use it for internet browsing), why don't you just updgrade to IE 8 then? I also have that and have no issues (and use mainly FF for browsing).
Certainly TT may still wish to debug his code as there may be lots of users with IE 7...

I won't be investing much time with IE7. I've had it up to here virtual gesture with debugging Internet Explorer. It's the piece of software which has wasted the most amount of development time for so many developers that could have gone into something productive. IE the definition of what I loathe with passion. (Though IE9 is looking mighty good!)
-
I did just update (I refuse to think I'm upgrading any Windows product when I install a new version) to IE8 and those messages don't appear. If no one else has the problem you might not want to spend any more time trying to fix it. Thanks for the plugin and for the time.
-
I got reports in the CleanUp thread with the same errors. I assume the user has IE7, as none of the IE8 machines I've tries show this error. Must be a difference in Javascript handling.
I'll see if I get time to poke about today. -

actually, with your suggestion to turn off the info windows the workflow can be quite fast, even with the settings window popping up. I just have to hit Enter, and it works

That's what I do as well. And it allows for quick review and change of the settings before committing.
