is it possible to create a shortcut to a file using ruby?
That might be a the easiest solution! I'll try it!
i added some code to yours at the end of "self.save_as(filepath)" method
filepath2 = (filepath.split("/")[0..-2]).join("/") nom_model = m.title # name of the text file to put the shortcut in nom_bat = filepath2 + "/" + nom_model + ".bat" #open this file aFile = File.new(nom_bat,"w") pathmodel = m.path #write the file shortcut aFile.puts("call "+pathmodel) aFile.puts("end") aFile.closea black cmd window is opened... must be closed manually, unless you embed the .bat file in a .js file...
it is basic but it works... -
Sorry to disturb the coding discussion
Ae_Snapshot tested with Su7 : love this plug
(Png transparent background option still don't work - - )simonlebon
-
I forgot to mention: the transparent png option has only been added to SketchUp 8.
I'm working on a new version! -

it is basic but it works...Doesn't work if there is a white space in the file address
additional code is needed
nom_bat2 = nom_bat.to_s if nom_bat2.count(nom_bat2, " ") != 0 UI.messagebox("no white space in the file address") fail end -
I updated the plugin. I think it will now fit all your needs because you can now make your own buttons
@glro, can you test if the shortcuts work as expected? -

@glro, can you test if the shortcuts work as expected?i tested, but there might be a problem
no box is opened on my scree when i check "ae snapshot" in the menu
it might come from the html file
in the pop up windows you show in the first message of this thread, i read "create a shortcut"
but when i click on the html file in "ae_snapshot" folder, i don't see the same things

I first thought it might have to do with upgrading the settings (because the previous version is much different). But I just tested it from 0.1.1 to 0.3.0 and it works for me.
You mean the settings dialog does not appear when you click the gear icon on the toolbar (there is no ae snapshot menu). Can you open the Ruby Console, click the gear button and give me the error messages if there are any.
Then copy&paste "AE::Snapshot.options={}" into the console and press the gear button again. Does it then work? -

the gear icon does'nt appear either...
just a small reactangle where i cannot click ...how do you explain the differences between the setting dialog window i get when i double click directly on the file "settings_dialog.htm" and the one you pasted in you message?
my guess is that it is linked to the problem
-
Very useful! Thank you very much.
-
@glro: Does "
Sketchup.write_default("Plugins_ae", "Snapshot", "{}")" on the Ruby Console and restarting help?
(There are no relevant differences in the htm file.)
(By the way, you don't need quote the message, I know it's on the same page one above ) -
OK
yes it helps
when i close and open sketchup again, the icon and snapshot settings windows appear on the screen
but i cannot save the parameters (clicking on "OK" doesnt change anything)
i notice the lines you added to create a file shortcut; since this is the only option i am interested in, i'll try to add them to the previous version, that worked perfectly on my computer
thank you

when i launch sketchup again, i get "wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)"
The plugin does take a shot when i click on the button
but i cannot get the snapshot settings windows on the screen anymore
it may be because of my computer, if i am the only one to have this problem...
-
I am very sure it's not your computer. I couldn't find anything on my own.

This error was on the Ruby Console? Can you tell me what was before or after that? There should be a line number and a line number is very much helpful!
-
no, nothing in the ruby console
it is an error message when sketchup loads all the plugins
no numbers
-
Ok, SketchUp does not tell us much about load errors. In such a case we need to reload the plugin manually in the Ruby Console to see more details. Can you do:
load "ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb" -
Here is what i get when i type 'load "ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb" 'in the ruby console
load "ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb"
Error: #<ArgumentError: C:/Archivos de programa/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb:309:in `initialize': wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)> -
Thanks!!!
I found and fixed the issues! -
sorry to write that i still have an error message
-
I'm not sure if I found it (line 187?). Can you post the error with line number that the Ruby Console gives?
load "ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb"
