Too many plugins
-
Thanks a lot.

Everyone needs different Plugins - it depends on your work...
It's possible to make many models without ever using a Plugin, and grasping the basics [before going 'Plugin-Mad'] is to be recommended...
You are probably right, but still I guess there are some plugins every frequent SketchUp user has installed.

And a little list of "indispensables"

Does the link work for you? "You are not authorised to read this forum."

Pilou's link is to our French forum. If you want to view it just add it under your User Control Panel > Usergroups options.

It's working. Thank you. And thanks for the list, too, Pilou.

Does anyone know at what point do some plugins start to grey out?
My plugins folder is now at 1.10 GBs but all are working fine. I did have the greyout problem before, but I removed some unused ones and solved the problem. -

What on earth do you have in your plugins folder??? Plugins are mostly just plain text files - with the occational folder with cursor, icon and webdialog resources. In no way can I see how any of that makes to to 1GB!!!
Sounds to me that your plugins folder is in dire need of some cleaning up.
I've stopped copying my plugins folder around when I format my computer. Instead I just start to add plugins again - that way I make sure I only have the plugins I use.

thomthom, I gotta admit to being a plugin junkie,
and yeah I got way too many that I do not use, I made a new year's resolution to better manage them. 
You guys just gotta stop making them, I'm joking of course.And thanks by the way. -
A very useful plugin to add to your collection.

Thanks sdmitch, I'm in the process of cleaning out my plugins folder, got it down to only 100 megs so far.
It seems that when a new version of a plugin came out, I installed it without deleting the old one, and some had several versions in there. Now to solve the "error loading" window that comes up opening SU. I got my work cut out for me.

What message is it?`It should give good leads to where the error is.

Here Thomthom, how do I resolve this?
-
Is there a Plugins anonymous I can attend? 175mb, 3747 files, 164 folders!
And I have not resolved my greying issues, either in my beard or my rubies
-
Hey Lapx, maybe I can be your sponsor in PA (Plugins Anonymous).
The beard greying issues can be resolved with beard dye, at least temporarily. Believe me I know.
See avatar on left. -
Well Thanks
I'm trying to clean up my folder again! Here are images of my current plugin floder. Can I delete what appears to be duplicate folders ie.
Fredos folders with diff numbers? I assume the higher number is the lastest and the greatest.
Thanks,

TT_Lib2 does not replace TT_Lib! TT_Lib version 1 is required by Selection Toys.
-
Thanks Tom,
What about Fredo's stuff? Am I doubling up on his rubies

I think this is the only option. I had problems for several days and "BugSplat" with "SKP 7" and "SKP 8". After I disabled the plugins folder in each case, both versions ran flawlessly.
I decided to reinstall both programs. I have the same plugins as before. These I had already reduced to the actually needed "plugins". My plugins folder contains currently 42 plugins folders and 137 plugins. The size of the plugin folder is now 27.1 MB. I think with any additional plugin increases the risk that in the system at some point gets something out of control.At 137 plugins, I also have a relatively good overview of the capabilities of the plugins. With a larger number, this is always difficult, especially when they are little or hardly used.
