SketchupExtensions Conflicts?
-
Is it a possibility that extensions written independently by different authors inadvertently use the same Extension name? Would that mean that only the last loaded extension would be available?

hmm... does SU use the
extension.nameinstead of using theextensionobject passed? -

Of course they can, if they choose a simple name like "Cylinder" and do not set a version string, or everyone starts out with "1.0.0".. then yes they can conflict.
Authors should use unique names, like: "Foltz: Cylinder", and use a proper version string.

Sketchup decides whether to load (or not to load,) extensions, based upon a concatination of the name and version string. (Check the registry and you'll see what I mean.)
