About the glue

...Solvent unglues.

Makes sense...

Putting zips directly into the ../Plugins/ folder just clutters it up... If you want to use a ../Download/ folder to keep your ../Desktop/ more tidy - then you can leave the zip behind in it for later reference ??

I do have a download folder for everything else but have got used to saving plugins (zipped) straight to the Plugins folder. I have this external HD I regularly make backups on and beside my Documents folder, I included some of the folders under Program files (SU materials, components, plugins, KT materials, models, globals etc.) just in case. Much easier and faster to recover should anything go wrong.

But you know, "de gustibus non (est) disputandum" at least as far as one does not screw up his system.

Superglue is supposed to work in SU6 ?
Because nothing works!
HAve you a little animation of what must the glue's pot must do?

I have not tested it. Can't remember if there was any SU7 specific code. I'll check.

A video of the plugin in use? Yes I'll make one once I make v1.1.0.

Same result in V7, so I must to miss something evident

thomthom

Do you get menus?
Can you start the tool?
Do you see the glue bottle cursor?
Are there error messages in the Ruby Console?

thomthom

Works like a charm under SU6.

Here you go sir (especially, with the annotations it is pretty fast so pause it when needed):

I forgot my Cookieware stamp!

I forgot the cookie!!!

I realised I could (should) add your name to the Title filed, too, not just into the description filed.

How about a beer instead?

thomthom

Beer also works! ...but I forgot! I'm worried about my mind now...

Gaieus

Added some pauses when reading the annotation text seemed to be a bit fast. Gee, I like these features.

And mine...

thomthom

What do you use to make the videos with annotations?

Gaieus

YouTube itself has these annotation tools. The video was simply captured with CamStudio but I did not edit anything in it.

thomthom

Ah cool. I'm about to produce the videos for Vertex Tools now. Never uploaded to YouTube before.

Gaieus

Let me know if I can help (although I myself am not a great YT'er either). Also, annotations/annotating can be shared so when you get to there, I can also help with doing that part.

EscapeArtist

Very useful. Saves the time of having to align things with the rotate tool when they're slightly off kilter.

Thanks!
