Does anyone know the "Engineering Toolbox"?
-
When reading a post in the other help forum, I stumbled across this plugin. I don't have any use for it personally, but it made me worry:
http://docs.sketchup.engineeringtoolbox.com/sketchup_plugin/engineeringtoolbox.rbThe ruby does nothing than displaying a webdialog and a callback with "eval". All the other code is on their [url=http://sketchup.engineeringtoolbox.com/:2hdppjcm]website[/url:2hdppjcm] within javascript.
Securitywise this isn't a good idea in my opinion since ruby has relatively much access to the file system and can create+delete files anywhere where the OS allows it. Even if the website has no bad intention for the moment, users wouldn't know when code on their site is changed (or hacked) in future.

Rightly said.
I have been using this plugin for quite a lot of time but for the last few days it is giving an error message. The message is as follows:
Please suggest a suitable solution
