[Plugin] Snapshot – (1.0.1) — updated 09.10.2012

glro

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?

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

html settings differences

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?

yes, the setting dialog does not appear;
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

snapshot icon

srx

Very useful! Thank you very much.

Aerilius

@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 )

glro

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

That is good!

Toolbar changes can only take effect after restarting SketchUp. (Maybe that's not so obviously written.)

glro

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...

Aerilius

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!

glro

no, nothing in the ruby console

it is an error message when sketchup loads all the plugins

no numbers

erreur chargement

Aerilius

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"

glro

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)>

Aerilius

Thanks!!!
I found and fixed the issues!

glro

sorry to write that i still have an error message

string to integer error

Aerilius

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"

glro

Here is the error message:
