[Plugin] SUClock - v3.1a - 02 Apr 24 - Tracking time in SU
-
I think Gábor has now resolved his self-inflicted injury !
All should now work everywhere, just as it should... -
"And on the other hand, I sometimes do have two projects for the SAME customer open at once (such as two versions of the same studio design, with different layouts, that he's going to choose from later) and I'd like the work done on both of those to accumulate on one single clock"
SK man 2020:
Yes you can choose to create a different SU clock counter for each project, and even if you have multiple projects windows opened (if you have enough RAM), the clock will adjust to the front window project timer. That's the greatness of this tool (thank you Fredo!) On the other hand if you have two projects for the same client, you can choose to add the timer of your second project to the first one already created. It does appear on the dialog when you create a new clock. You have the choice to create a completely new clock or affect the timer to an existing clock. Usually you have the list of the most recently active clocks/projects and you can choose with one click to add your new timer to an existing one.
Hope this is clear enough (?) Cheers

I'm having trouble getting the clock to work is sketchy 2018 pro. Here's a screenshot of the message I'm getting. I am assuming it's not available for 2018? Thanks! I have the latest version 1.9c.

A SUClock project file has extension .suclock, not skp.

Here's a video of what it is doing. No matter which route I take, I get the same results - that the project file is invalid. I'm not sure what that means or why the sketchup file is considered invalid. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the sketchup file being 2018 version.

The SUClock information is saved in files with extension .suclock. This is independent from the Sketchup models, since several models can be attached to a SUClock 'project'.
In your case,
-
To track time for a model, you need to create a SUClock project. So use "Attach to New Project", and give it a unique name (in the video, you select an existing skp file instead). This will create the information file with extension .suclock
-
Once you have a SUClock project, you can attach a model to it by "Attach to an existing project", where you select the .suclock file.
There is a documentation on SUClock where you have the details and explanations on other use cases too.

It is working now. For some reason it would not give me the .suclock extension when I first tried I, just the error message stating the file was invalid. Now it does give me the .suclock extension. Thanks for you help!

Is it possible to modify your code to allow your plugin to determine the time spent on an older sketchup file? I am very anxious to hear from you.

What do you mean by 'older'?

Hi Fredo —
I'm having a problem with the plugin under SU Pro 2015: It works fine in 2018, but now doesn't work properly in 2015.
Specifically, I can't pull up the configuration window, either from the menu or by clicking the toolbar button.
Everything worked fine in 2015 up until either my installation of 2018, or the last SUClock update (both were around the same time).
Any thoughts on what's going on and how to fix it? Love the plugin and depend on it for my project time-tracking.
Thanks.

Difficult for me to tell, as I don't have a Mac.
At least I could test that it works fine on Windows and SU2015.
Can you open the Ruby console before you launch SUClock and check if there are error messages.
Fredo

I did as you asked, and no error message on the Ruby console. The window flashes open when I hit the toolbar button, but disappears immediately after. (it's visible for a fraction of a second)

Could you make sure you use the latest version of LibFredo6 (v8.7f), as I fixed some bugs related to dialog boxes on Mac.

Just updated and it seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

The problem was there for other dialog boxes on Mac. As a general advice, it is always good to update to latest versions of LibFredo6, because this library holds a lot of common code used across all my plugins.
