Does anyone else..

keep a huge archive of Sketchup plugins yet continue to download them from here when installing just to make sure you have the latest version?
-
Not necessarily/always.
I have just downloaded Fredo's bezier spline plugin however.
-
yeah, i do..
just did a reinstall on my laptop and redownloaded a few of the rubies to make sure i had the latest (extrude tools, fredoscale, jpp, and a few others..) most of them though, i just reuse the files i already have (weld, fillet, unfold, arc tools etc.) -
I check for updates on plugins I haven't used for a while, and try to keep up with any updates freshly posted, such as Fredos' bezier. Sometimes the updates slip by however. I might be a formidible task but Jims' "Plugins Index" (which should maybe be a sticky) in the plugins forum is a great list of plugins and has current dates on most of them. Maybe the individual authors might take a peek and offer the latest date for their creations?? I tend to check that list often now that I found it.
By the way - thank you Jim, for putting that list, with links, together

I basically have a desktop folder to receive Ruby plugins and scripts in zip or rb format. From there I will copy to the Sketchup Plugins folder.
If it's a zip, I right click> winzip> extract to here. Typically the zipped files will prompt to overwrite prior versions.
So, yes, I watch the posts for updates. And I watch the posts for people needing help, and try to help them when I am able. -
I see that I did not fully understand your question, Jim.
The answer is no. I do not completely renew my entire collection. Not to say I will not, if the circumstances require it. -
I keep a backup of all my plugins. Then everytime I re-install sketchup, I go through and re-download them ALL and never look through my backup folder. I find it very silly of me.

The Ruby Depot has all the latest versions of most of the plugins (I hope so...

Each author can and should edit their own posts if their plugin title needs updated. I don't run the "complete" update as frequently as the "latest" update, but any changes will get picked up within a couple of weeks at the most.
