SketchUp Plugin Toolbars flashing SU Locks
-
I'm having an issue for the last few weeks... When I try to bring in a component, move a large amount of geometry, run a complex plugin action, or open a large model... SketchUp starts thinking and then all of my open toolbars start rotating which one is active. you know, as in the little title bar of each toolbar becomes active and then the next one and then the next one... This continues in a loop. never ending. SU Process must be ended. Turning off all my toolbars fixes the issue. I've tried removing plugins I've added recently, to no avail.
Any ideas?

TIG's Half In / Half Out method.
Isolate half your plugins and see if it occurs. If not restore the isolated half and isolate the good half and test again.
If the problems happens with that half do the Half In / Half Out on that half and so on
You could also try Thomthom's Batch Registry cleaner tool but you will need to rebuild your toolbars.

Sounds like the toolbar registry is mangled.

Where do I find this tool?
-
I found it...

BOOOOOM! Damn I love you people. Especially you Thom. you better hope I never meet you in person. I'm gonna lay a big one right on your lips.

Great stuff, I rather rearrange a few toolbars than resort to the half and half scenario.
I met Thom at Basecamp this year...he's a great kisser. Your in for a treat

Not only are my is SU fixed now but it's running like a demon. I think this might be good to do every once in a while. Actions on large models and complex plugin actions are much faster.

Is that a plugin?
-
No, it's not a plugin... It's a small batch file that ThomThom wrote. it runs in windows not sketchup.
Here it is...

Thank you, Kris.
I usually have CCleaner for registry issues checking.
I'll see the batch file. -
I dont trust regustry cleaners. They tend to cause more trouble than they solve.

I use CCleaner as well... and I always make a backup before I do it.

I see.
Thank you for opinions and suggestions.
Actually, I have several Windows tweaker applications here. Three of them left. Those have that registry checking ability. CCleaner, Advanced System Care and TweakMe, which is do nothing but to use standard windows utility that usually hidden from common user.
I always make backups too.
Thanks again
