[Talk] Plugins Index

Gaieus

Jack,

Please, do not post your email directly. Spam harvesters will soon start listing it and you get tons of spam.
What do you mean by "sending"? Why don1t you just download whichever you like here?

The link to Trim_extend (by RickW) leads to a page where the plugin is NOT available. In fact it seems that it is in nowhere, now.

Jim

It appears the trim_extend plugin was a commercial plugin, and was posted by someone other than its original author. Rick explains more in this post. It looks as if Rick simply never got around to making it available again. You should contact RickW here or at http://www.smustard.com for information about the plugin.

I will remove the link from the index list.

This index is not meant to be a comprehensive list of all plugins. Its purpose is to make it easier to find plugins that have been generously posted on our Plugins Forum. (I have a delicious account dedicated to linking all (and only) SketchUp plugins.)

Thanks so much Jim
Seriously helpful!!!

I've just subscribed to this topic. Will I get an email update when a new plugin is released and the list of plugins here is updated?

would be a good idea to add a list of 10 most viewed plugins? or the 10 most downloaded plugins?

You can't do that as when a plugin is updated it's download number resets with each version. Anyway what I think is great might be useless to others. It's a bit like Bovril I suppose.

What do you have to do to get a plugin added to this index?

Rich O Brien

make one or post in the plugins forum linking to it. Then one of the mods, Jim, updates the index to contain the plugin.

Have you something to add?

dominikh

There's http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=38431 (Selection Manager) which I posted a couple days ago.

Gaieus

When you add the [Plugin] tag to a topic, it will automatically be added to the list when Jim updates it next time (or so I believe at least).

That would a good idea. But as Rich says, the download count is reset whenever a new version is uploaded.

The index is generated automatically by "scraping" the Plugins Forum for [Plugins] posts. Only the first post of each topic is read, and only the most recent few pages are scanned to keep the load down on the servers. In order to keep the download count current, I'd need scan the entire forum every time.

Upload you plugin to the Plugins Forum, and begin the topic title with the [Plugin] tag. The topic will get picked up by the scraper within a few days. (I can also run it on request - it's only a few clicks.) Check the last update - I had ran an update just before you asked, so Selection Manager is now indexed.

Hi,

I've even taken the trouble to put all sources known to me (SketchUcation, Smustard, RLD and Jim's SketchUp [Plugins] Blog) in a Word table together. Likewise with the corresponding Links and authors. In the table, the search is easier by alphabet or Authors.

Jim

Added an "Updated Plugins" feature - make any change to the title of your first post (date or version for example) and the script will notice the different, and list the plugin in the Updated section.

Would it be possible to search for an index entry?

Yes, it could fairly easily. All you need to do is to standardize the format and get authors to use it.

i have so many problem and does anyone encounter this?

Vray plugins. when i load some of the plugins tool that i've download here conflecting the vray tool it never run the render tool.
what is particular tools always use by most or expert in using the sketch up. coz i know theres a plug ins here conflecting each other
when i try to load to the other computer theres an error in tool menus all tools that i've been load there's some tool that created an error.

Gaieus

Best would be to post these errors in the respective plugins' topics. This is just an auto-generated index (actually, should be locked).

Especially this. I think it is TT's Vray plugin...

@aliwigwig1975 said:

This is rather vague. Which plugins are conflicting? (yes, there can be conflicts...)

This is even more vague...

Then I would suggest Jim create a new locked Index thread.

And then THIS thread becomes titled: [talk] Plugins Index
