Call for attention - context handlers and validation procs

Reminds me of something simular I seem to have in big models when rightclicking a material.
The rightclick window just doesn't pop-up

Yea - I've noticed that too. Very annoying. But that menu isn't accessible to ruby plugins. So I think that one is on Google's shoulders.

Sample output for a selection of about 100K entities:

Context Handler

bezierspline_main.rb:2413:in load_all_menus' [...] extensions.rb:36:in load'
5.657 seconds[/ruby]

I fixed the one for BezierSpline, with an upgrade.

Bezierspline_main is still sort-of slow for me - it takes 8 seconds for the context menu to pop-up for 75,000 selected entities. (I admit to having a sub-standard pc.)

Is is better with this release

Thanks

Are you saying that each and every plugin is "polled" each time you wish to do something whether you "invoke" that/those plugins or not? If so, is that efficient? Keep in mind I don't know the terminology, and I certainly don't fully understand.

Not every plugin, but when a plugin want to add a context menu a function is run - and if the plugin tried to evaluate the whole selection or do any processor expensive calculations in this function it'll delay the context menu.

Ok, that makes some sense, thanks. Evidently, the context menu is lower in priority?

Dan Rathbun

not really... the context menu is "built on the fly"...

The menu needs to know what items and submenus it will need to display. It cannot know what they will be until Sketchup processes all the context_menu_handlers.
