      There's overhead. Nothing is free. It seems the most overhead is in the Ruby-to-javascript path through execute_script.

      A small overhead is acceptable. Timer has too much.
      I'll try the animation method with the my old testcase of using a Tool to draw the progressbar. will be interesting to see the times there since it doesn't run through any js or webdialogs.

        Is there a plugin list to know what works with this?

          Since Progressbar isn't release yet, the list would be: none

                  That pretty much sums up all progress bars. I just can't bring myself to believe them.

                      Really exciting stuff! Not since Windows 98 has a progressbar been so anticipated!

                      Note: I'm not really sure when Windows started having it's little progress bar thing but Windows 98 seemed like the funniest version at the time of writing and I'm too lazy to research it, so I went with it.

                        Progressbar 2.0, as I had wanted to release it, will never see the light of day beyond my computer. Scripts would have to be written to take advantage of it.

                        I might (might...) release a Progressbar 1.5 though, but it too will require scripts to change (very minimally) to take advantage of a cancel feature.

                        (And yes, I've been busy with other projects - namely my day job).

                        Oh, and expect CloseOpens V2 soon. All that's left is a bit of packaging and final testing.

                          Hi Guys,
                          I happen to be the "Frenchman" who challenged Todd some time ago which apparently led to progressbar.rb

                          except that I am Belgian, from the Flemish part (I am not a fanatic, rest assured ! πŸ˜’ ) but my last sentence will explain the difference for all to understand ! 😍

                          I recognise the drawings of my lake

                          Todd spent some sleepless nights, solved the issue and allowed me to try it out under a gentleman's agreement of confidentiality, which, of course, I respected

                          still only closeopens v1.1 is available to the general public, which is a pity

                          lately I have gotten extremely annoyed by the time it takes for sketchup to backup a file

                          Microsoft Windows's task manager doesn't help either:
                          invariably it shows that sketchup "does not respond", same goes for Layout:
                          impossible to know if something is happening, how long it will take,
                          worse: impossible to intervene without losing part of your data

                          so Todd, will you please consider taking progressbar.rb to the next level?

                          or does any of you wizards feel challenged to make one for the backups of Sketchup and Layout ?

                          I offer a crate of the best Belgian Beer !

                          thanks, Frank

                            Hi Frank.

                            First, thank you so much for working with me and having a great test case from which I was able to "fix" closeopens to work more efficiently.

                            As I rewrote closeopens, the first step, as you know, was to modify progressbar to allow the user to choose to cancel the process. After I did that, I went to rewrite the algorithm used by closeopens to make it MUCH more efficient. IIRC, the processing time for your model went from INFINITY (as in, it never did finish) to 52 seconds.

                            I was excited about modifying progressbar to make it V2, and have it apply globally to all the scripts that used it, but I was not able to crack that nut without also having a requirement to also modify each and every script that called it to allow the canceling of the process. This is where Progressbar 2.0 died.

                            However, closeopens does have Progressbar 2.0 functionality built-in, and, I have stalled bring closeopens to market, for some time now. And, while some attempts have been made by me to get it ready for packaging, I have broken the new copy. This is where I stand. I need to fix it, again, and then publish it. I will do this - but cannot promise when right now. My day job is demanding, and so are extra-curricular activities.

                            Todd
