Problem with SU

thomthom

I'm not seeing those kind of entries at all...

TIG

I have virtually the same set up as you ?
I tried removing them all from the registry list - even those without duplicated BarIDs - and Sketchup still loaded fine
Then I re-saved the toolbar settings, and exited Sketchup... but no new entries were added to the registry ??
I must conclude that my v8 'Toolbars-' entries were somehow left over from an earlier version ???
Or does Sketchup have an occasional hiccup and make some
Weird ?

thomthom

I have no idea - I've not seen those entries on any system/computer where I've looked.

This is weird, now, parts of my toolbars just seem to vanish, in this example, ATViews, TOS, Fredoscale and Sandbox have all gone weird .... Needs a reboot/redock for them to reappear ....

Hi,

I had also a lot of these registry entries in Sketchup Sketchup 7 and 8. ThomThoms "Reset SketchUp Toolbars" worked fine for me but after use you have to rearrange the toolbars. Now all is clean.

Oops, after re-arranging the tool bars the registry entries are present again in 7 and 8. In Sketchup 8 i have some additional entries.

TIG

I think the extra entries are to do with remembering the toolbar settings ??

Aye - the ToolbarsUserCustom entries are new to SU which it uses to restore toolbar settings.

Still following....though lost.

Is this turn of events a good or bad thing?

Sorry chaps, just a little bump for this. Is there any reaosn why I should lose my toolbar icons at all?

Dave R

Did you do anything to your Plugins or Tools folders? I ran ThomThom's bat file on my computer at work but had no trouble when I put the toolbars back. All the icons were present and accounted for.

thomthom

You should not loose any icons no.
Do you mean you get the toolbars, but with missing icons? Or missing toolbars?

leedeetee

Sorry for being unclear, I meant icons within the toolbars. Turned computer on this morning and it seems fine however!

thomthom

When you browse to your plugin folder - do you see a "Compatibility Files" button?

Sorry, do you mean via Windows Explorer? (C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Google SketchUp 8\Plugins) If so, no.

THIS FIXES THE ISSUE! ThomThom saves the day once again. Hopefully Trimble fixes this as a bug.

Use at Own Risk!!!
This is a couple of batch commands I use to clear the toolbar registry. It has worked for me - but I put a word of caution anyway; use at own risk.

Activate the one corresponding to your SketchUp version.

I had to change the content of the batch-file to (Windows 7-64):

"c;\Windows\System32\reg.exe" query "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8" /f "ToolbarsUser" >> reg_keys.txt

for /f %%k in (reg_keys.txt) do (
    "c;\Windows\System32\reg.exe" delete %%k /f
)

(I found 4539 entries, who has more ? )

It was made on Windows 7 64bit...
It's using relative path - I see you used a full path. Seems like there's something odd about your PATH environment variables...

I've had double that... After a session of longer debugging a toolbar problem.

TIG

Mine last cleared out at over ~1800 toolbar entries - and it had been crawling !
After a lot of debugging of scripts/toolbars/extensions etc it does grow alarmingly...

You must have been waiting forever for it to startup !

I have a cmd that removes all toolbar guff and extensions too.
It reduces startup time by a factor of 4 or 5 after it's run and I reinstall the extensions/toolbars I need !!
