[Plugin] SUClock - v3.1a - 02 Apr 24 - Tracking time in SU

fredo6

Hi.
I have a small problem with this plugin. I found it really usefull, but somehow I can't set it up.
When I click on a clock icon, select "Attach to a New Project", then type a name of .suclock file and save it in a file with my SU model (with a same name as model) I can't see any .suclock file in explorer. It even doesn't start counting time, no clock appears at all. Can anyone help me? Some advices?
I've got SU 8 and Win 7.
Thanks a lot!

Strange. However on Windows 7 there are by default many security rules preventing to create files by script so it may just be that issue of security (actually the file may be created in a security zone, but not writable).

I would suggest that you redo the operation, opening before the Ruby console. Also, do you get a message from SuClock?

Fredo, have you found a solution to Vista, Win7 putting files you write out in SU Ruby into the Virtualstore?

No. From Ruby you don't see anything, except that the file is created or not created.
Actually, I don't understand very well how this virtualstore works and what is the intention.

I found I could detect if a file was in VirtualStore or not. But if I wanted to create a file I cannot work out in advance if it will appear in VirtualStore or not.
If I edit a file in the Plugins folder everything is fine, but creating new one will stuff it in VS. Very troublesome since I'm trying to make a plugin installer. Might I actually need to write a C Extension? ...might do, might make one that actually writes unicode files as well.

Oh my God! I mean.. oh my Fredo6!
How could i miss this one?
I was waiting for it so long and somehow it slipped past my nose until today.
There's not many plugins that are MUST HAVE for me, but most of them are of your autorship.
My plugin library will look like My plugin library +1 from now on
I am sure i will donate, so you could buy some coffe to work on Your next plugins
Thank You.

Greetings Fredo,

I just had an e-mail from a Mac user saying that despite downloading the new maintenance release of SketchUp, he's still getting black text boxes with this plugin. Thoughts or ideas?

Thanks.

I'm using OSX 10.7.4 latest Lion release, SU 8 latest release and LIbFredo6 4.6 just so you could see I also just found this very useful Thanks

Is there way to permanently hide 'check plugins for update' window (the small yellow one with ruby)?

mwm5053

You should only see it every 15 days or so, good to have if there have been updates, bug fixes and such.

That's part of LibFredo. Set the frequency to 999 to disable.

Dave R

If you really don't want to see it every 15 days, go to window>LibFredo6 Settings>Default Parameters and change it.

As Walt says, though, it doesn't hurt to have it pop up. It makes it easy to check for updates.

really having a problem installing this. I could use some help.

Dave R

Is there any chance you could describe the problem?

You need to choose a file with .suclock extension, not skp.

Fredo

paul.wacko

Thanks for that.
I had worked it out and felt rather stupid not realising the skp extension.

However it would be nice to have the option to edit the session time or add session times for additional things such as Photoshop PP etc...

The only thing you can do currently is to export to Excel and then add other duration items.
SUClock is only aware of the activiy in SU and the Ruby API does not allow making a difference between being idle in SU and being in another applications.
