[REQ] model is loaded alarm
-
For those of us who are not always working on the fastest computers out there, sometimes you want to open a relatively large and complex model which can jam sketchup for a couple of minutes. Precious minutes that could be spent on working on another model in a separate window, reading Sketchucation forums, and maybe even catching a couple of minutes of shut-eye.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if sketchup played an alarm tone/music/single beep/continuous beep/user selected mp3/... the minute the model is loaded? Do you think it's possible to write a script that would know when the model is done loading?
An Idea...

I'm not quite sure how to apply the code.
Paste the text into an .rb file and substitue the wav file with the one I want? didn't seem to work...@thomthom said:

whooops. Forgot to attach the observer...
Updated the code -
Also added an zip file with the code in a .rb file and sample audio.
