      Idea... β˜€ ...using HTML5, a webdialog can act as a drop pad for files. Just dump a selection of files, rbz, zip or plain rb files and install in bulk!!

      Yep, but it would make a better stand-alone "Drop Pad" plugin that can dispatch various file types to user-configurable plugins.

      You mean being able to configure what plugin to handle what fileformat?

        Yeah, but the downside is that the plugins that handle the file types would likely all need modified to handle the Drop Pad dispatcher.

          Well, it won't be doable until IE10 is released anyway... 😞

            hm... you meant for the pad to dispatch to existing plugins...?

                Nope! It's too big of a project - I have too many other projects on my hand. But Dana is working such a manager. πŸ˜„

                            As Dave said - it's done when it's done. He's working on it along side his full time job - like I do. Making it very hard to promise a deadline. (It's hard even if it is your full time job any way... 😞 )

                              Hmm.... IE10 might not come until Windows8 is out... I hope it comes earlier - as I think Windows 8 comes late this year.

                                  That's mostly useless if you're asking for help. You have given nothing for anyone to help you with. Go back to the first post and make sure you've installed the plugin so it shows as described under "Footprint"

                                    As Dave said, you need to be more spesific. How did you try to "load" the plugin? And what "doesn't work"? Unexpected behaviour? Errors? Menu items not found?

                                            Unfortunately this is a limitation due to the Ruby version SketchUp use. There is nothing we(plugin developers) can do. It needs to be addressed by Google
