[Plugin] Snapshot – (1.0.1) — updated 09.10.2012

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:

"Error: #<TypeError: C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb:319:in []': can't convert String into Integer> C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb:319 C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb:319 C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp 8/Plugins/ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb:318:in each'

Aerilius

(I won't be back until tomorrow.)
I just made a quick change, can you test it?

Put it in .../Plugins/ae_Snapshot/Snapshot.rb

glro

i replaced the previous file in the rbz, by this new one, and yes, now it works perfectly

a nice tool to keep tracks, and retrieve a lost model

thank you

driven

been playing around with style
no need to open, but do the icons download to other computers
don't stay stuck when on the file posting, but I want to test if they download
This is the Standard horrible mac one
it's icon doesn't upload either??

This last release is impressively highly configurable - And then need to be tamed a bit

The fact is that I'm not easy with the {nr} parameter and the "change digit by" line bellow.

I'm not able to make the incrementation work.

Whatever I test, I obtain something like this: xyz_00**_1-0-0**.png

Need some further explanation

That depends on what you want to get (I don't know).

It's the printf format (I didn't need to implement it, otherwise it would be more complicated). You can write any separating characters and %d is replaced by the number.
It should work that for a major version 1, minor version 3, you get
[pre:1z9sy1o8]%d → file_1.skp
%d.%d (or %1d.%1d) → file_1.3.skp (number between %d sets minimum width)
%d.%2d → file_1. 3.skp (minimum width is filled up by spaces)
%d.%02d → file_1.03.skp (with additional 0, it is filled by 0)
%d-%02d → file_1-03.skp
%d_%02d → file_1_03.skp
%02d.%02d → file_01.03.skp
%02d.%03d → file_01.003.skp[/pre:1z9sy1o8]

Ok, thank you! I understand very better now.

But Hum! incrementation still dont work for me. Is it something I'm doing wrong or is it something that don't work with the script ?

By pressing my +1 button set as above

a xyz.skp Snapshot should be saved as

xyz_01_01.png (due to %02d_%02d)

and due to "change the 2 digit by 1", I understand that the following +1 button depressed should increment the files by the second digit:
xyz_01_02.png
xyz_01_03.png...

But my file is saved as
xyz_01_00.png and instead of increment it , overwrites on itself.

Still need help I guess

Simon.
