      OK, it is all installed right, thanks you so much for uploading that.

      One last idea. Try this loader script. Just overwrite the existing clf_camera_recorder_loader.rb file with the attached one. Let me know if that works,

      Chris

      PS - this file is not MAC friendly. I think it will break the script if anyone on a Mac downloads it.

        Chris, have you tried LightUp? Could you implement a flyaround mode with inertia like in LightUp?
        It would be so great to fly around smoothly and record scenes and then use that for both SU lines and LightUp.

              Great, we're getting closer to solving it.

              After you try to initilize it, make sure to also go to View > Toolbars > Camera Recoder

              You must make sure the toolbar is turned on too.

              Plus all the tools are availabe in Plugins > Chris Fullmer Tools > Camera Recorder

              Check those things to see if that gets it working,

                  ok, so the loader file is loading, and its trying to load the script, but its failing. I have a few ideas how to fix that. Your XP is having issues with the path's for some reason. BUt I think I know how to fix it. Let me see what I can do.

                        Very odd. I write these plugins on a Vista system, and use them at work on an XP system.

                        I'll keep digging. I might have a new file for you to try in a few hours.

                            Sorry Rod, I've been sick and have not been doing too much.

                            So I don't know what the problem is, but these scripts open the ruby concole while the scripts are loading, so we can see any load errors. So please overwrite the existing files with these. And copy any text that gets written to the ruby console when SketchUp is starting. Then paste that code back here.

                                  @@path.gsub!( /\//, "\\\\" ) if @@pc
                                  around line #53, seems a heavy handed [wrong] way to replace all of the PC's filepath's / separators with a \ the tr way might be safer/easier to see...

                                    What's wrong with gsub, and how is tr safer and easier?

                                      in that example you do save a few characters. And you avoid the overhead of rexex processing. if it is simple text or character replacement it is faster to do plain text replace than invoking regex.

                                        I was not aware of the .tr method. I had only seen gsub, and I was able to get it to work. But I like the way .tr works. It looks much simpler. It took me hours and hours to wrap my head around how slashes work and escaping characters with lots of help. I'm sure I don't understand it all yet. But just having it work made me happy.

                                        So the problem in this script that I was fixing is that I was storing forward slashes into the Windows registry. It seems to work fine on most computers. But not Rod's. His Vista won't handle forward slashes at all. Anyone know what might be making his system work like that?

                                        Chris

                                        PS I still don't know if these tweaks fixed it for Rod - I sure hope it did. Because I'm about out of ideas otherwise.....

                                          The .tr is somewhat different though. But can be used in this case.

                                          .gsub can also be used without using regex for pattern.
