Plugins Menu Missing
-
I just wanted to post this as a heads up to everyone. I am new to developing in Ruby and had 2 .rb files in the SU Plugins directory. The first .rb file adds a submenu under the SU Plugins menu and then ties to the second .rb file. I moved both .rb files to a backup directory to clear the Plugins directory for some testing of SU with no plugins installed. I then edited my second .rb file and it placed the modified file back into the SU Plugins directory. The first .rb was not in the SU Plugins directory any longer. When I started SU, there was no Plugins menu! Just curious how this works. Thanks.

If there are no Plugins auto-loading that add menu items to the Plugins menu then the Plugins menu doesn't appear.
Because you removed the .rb file that was making the one menu item, when you restarted Sketchup there is no need for a Plugins menu so you don't get one!
There are some Extensions [like Utilities] that are supplied with Sketchup which you can have load from the Preferences dialog, these add Plugins menu items even when they themselves are not directly in the Plugins folder...
A .rb file simply being is the Plugins folder is no guarantee you'll get a Plugins menu unless at least one of them makes an item for it... -
Thanks TIG. Now you know why this is in the newbies section.
