[Plugin] LaunchUp – A Quick Launcher for SketchUp

thomthom

Let IE6 die already. The amount of work to adjust to that engine is just... way too much.

A new version 1.0.7 is available.
• on OS X, sometimes the dialog didn't resize, giving the impression that the visibility of the History was not remembered.
• changing options in the options dialog did not always give visual feedback. Now it is also indicated if input was invalid.
• the dialog should now (better) focus when it starts
• the menu indicates now whether the dialog is visible
• it now supports IE7

I did not yet make the menu item a toggle, because at the moment you can use a shortcut to bring up the dialog immediately (focus the dialog or open it if it isn't open). A toggle would mean you accidentially close the dialog when you didn't see it was already open.

I couldn't make it work with IE6 (but maybe it's now better). There are issues that are not bugs of the plugin but of Internet Explorer, and that I can't work around. Microsoft has fixed most of them with IE7 and IE8.

There is a little issue on OS X: the resizing corner covers partly the History button. If I turned of the resizing corner, it wouldn't be possible to change the dialog's width on OS X.

I assigned F5 to Launch up. I find that if I trigger the hotkey while LU is still open it stops working and I need to reopen the window.

thomthom

Oh! It remembers your last used items and place them on top! Nice!

thomthom

I also occasionally see the "Type to search..." string under text that has been entered. Can't quite reliably reproduce it though.

Aerilius

I forgot to add:
• it is now possible to close the dialog when pressing the escape key.

Isn't F5 the reload shortcut? I might have to test that reloading the JavaScript doesn't break it, or I add an override to prevent F5.

thomthom

Ah! Duh! Yea - I wasn't thinking of that. It's just that I've used all the "normal" keys.

hi AE,

for some reason the dialog window always starts bottom left corner, pinned, unpinned, same session or even after I close SU with it open.

something wrong in options at "custom color"

lionk

well done!thanks you!
another bug...
if I type some Chinese characters like "面"(it means "face"), there will be an error in ruby console and get no search results, then unable to search again.
![Error: #<SyntaxError: (eval):1:in initialize': compile error (eval):1: unterminated string meets end of file (eval):1: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ']' ["look_up", "é?￠"]#16 ^>](/uploads/imported_attachments/x92F_20130416111835.jpg "Error: #<SyntaxError: (eval):1:in initialize': compile error
(eval):1: unterminated string meets end of file
(eval):1: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting ']'
["look_up", "é?￠"]#16
^>")
in light of this, i found these punctuations "?()[]{}+*" also make mistakes.

Aerilius

Thanks for finding that!
I also solved the custom color issue and will probably have an update later today.

Aerilius

Version 1.0.8 is available:
• I fixed the issue with invalid/incomplete custom colors.
• I fixed the error with 面?()[]{}+*
• and reloading the webdialog (F5) doesn't break it anymore.

punctuation is OK but some Chinese characters still arise same error.
for example 面领到认封...not all the Chinese characters,just a few.i have no idea what caused this...encoding?

Aerilius

Version 1.0.9 contains a quick fix, please update.

Me too. I will revert to the old version until CLibraries_Loader.rb is supported again.

Aerilius

I found it and fixed it in 1.0.11.
