Problem transfering TOOLBARS ruby from V6 to V8
-
I just bit the bullet and loaded SU-V8 Free. Spent the whole day (not quite done yet) making V8 behave like I am used to on V6. So for the best part of today I was "bringing over" my essential Plugins from V6 to V8. I was doing them 1 or 2 at a time and testing, and most went without a hitch. Where the plugin source was a zip I copied over the zip and unzipped it, while simple .RB's were just copied over.
However the "TOOLBARS" ruby refuses to load in V8.
Filename is Toolbars_08-06-01.zip.
In V6 it presents itself in View/Toolbars/Options. It is not there in V8 (or anywhere) and there is no load error message. The main plugin file is Toolbars.rb which reads as follows*require "sketchup"
require "extensions"path = File.join(File.dirname(FILE), "toolbars", "files", "loader.rb")
ext = SketchupExtension.new("Custom Toolbars", path)
ext.description = "Loads your custom Toolbars."
ext.creator = "Jim Foltz jim.foltz@gmail.com"
ext.copyright = "2008 Jim Foltz"
ext.version = "2008-04-04"
Sketchup.register_extension ext*Line 2 says it needs "extensions" but that file is not present in V6 anywhere I can see.
So if that is a missing file, why does it work in V6 without it?It has several crucial tools I use consistently and they are a real pain to have to hunt them down in menus, especially the toggles.
Any ideas???

Extensions are part of SU 6 and SU8. It' just that the files are under the Tools folder. No need to copy these. (And I'd recommend not.)
Have you looked under Window > Preferences > Extensions and ensured the plugins are enabled?

Also, have you checked for updates to the plugins?

THAT was the culprit
Many thanks. Never thought of looking there.
