Toolbars rearrange themselves
-
Hi all,
I'm having a problem whereby every so often when I start Sketchup all my toolbars are in a complete jumble and stacked one per line instead of neatly next to each other. It doesn't seem to happen specifically when i get a bugsplat... Is there any way of saving the user GUI so that I can easily restore it? Similar to user profile in AutoCAD...It's frustrating because my I'm used to finding tools in specific places.

Once you've saved and you experience a scrambling then....

Welcome to the "toolbar misery frustrated club" by the way...

Notice this does not always work for me either even after previously saving. Where does it save the tool bar file or does it? It appears to be bugggy.
It should allow you to save various presets. This should be a job for google. Google where are you? I'm so thankful for the ruby scripter's ...Google should be too. SU would have died sometime ago as a serious tool but for the ruby god's. I hope google is rewarding the ruby god's somehow. -
On Windows, the positions are saved into the Registry.. and the saving is BUGGED... ironically by the "Save/Restore Toolbars" feature the was added in v8.
It seems each time you get a "scramble" and choose Restore, you get duplicate entries for all toolbars. If you turn off a plugin that has a toolbar, when the plugin is turned back on, Sketchup creates a new Registry entry rather than using the old one.
My toolbar entries in the Registry are up to 566 !! .. Sketchup is taking way too long to parse all this junk at startup.
