SketchUp 2013 ;)

@Jason, Chris Cronin is Business Development at Trimble Navigation London, United Kingdom, so probably not involved in the nuts and bolts of SketchUp development, not like 'darling' JohnB, so play nice. Also he has a good Irish surname, 'Cronin is an Irish surname which originated in County Cork and is derived from the Old Irish word crรณn, meaning saffron-colored'. I have no idea of the significance of the saffron but I do know its red! At least he stepped into the lion's den, so to speak ...... we don't want to completely traumatise him, now do we. Hey, we might even get a few more TSU folks in to fight their corner if we lighten up a little.
Gotcha Mike,
Hey Chris, nice to meet you -- I'm actually usually very helpful and polite (perhaps that might be unbelievable to you right now), but I have been known to show a nasty streak occasionally. Unfortunately, I may have spilled a bit too much bile on you undeservedly.
Although I would appreciate it if you were to pass that bile up the food chain and let higher-ups at Trimble know exactly how displeased I am. I've gone toe-to-toe with several software company CEOs, so I'm ready if they are
Best,
Jason. -
this is new: (on mac at least):
we used to not get a warning.. the app would just quit.
we still don't have thumbnails of the files but at least the updated generic icon is better than the one with v8.. (for whatever reason, it seems easier for me to pinpoint when i have a lot of other file types in the same folder.)
fwiw, i like all the new icons.. not just the ones in the app.. moreso all the icons at the ext.warehouse.. they look nice..
is someone on the suTeam pumping out hundreds of icons or smthng? or are the ruby devs making their own? (well, some are obviously coming from the individual developers but for the most part, it looks like there's a fairly consistent look/style going on ) ? -

Yup, all the ruby developers are making their own, and doing a fine job of it I think too.

Something I do find to be a pain is the lag between selecting a new tool and the tool being ready to use. There is a significant lag and not something I have had before. V8 does not act like this. Only twilight render plug in so far so it should not be that but, note sure to be honest. Not something I will fret over but it does nag a bit.

Really ?
[highlight=#F4C430:24c72jbw]Saffron is golden-yellow[/highlight:24c72jbw] on this side of the great pond.
Must be some sort of non-colonial spectral frequency shift over there.
-
Trust you Dan!
I stand corrected, yes, golden-yellow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffron_(color I was looking at the image!
-
Many Buddhist monks wear robes that are dyed with saffron... and they vary from an ocher to a deep red.
I expect that the various herbs used in combination with it affect the final coloration.
Saffron in its 'raw state' - after it has dried is a similar red.
But the original crocus stamens are amber/ocher when first picked.
[AND worth more than their weight in gold!]
Food goes the amber color when it's infused with saffron during cooking...

Ah! So I was 50% right?

And 50% wrong

Let's be honest here -- where is your (a general shout to Trimble here) pride in your craftsmanship? You create software, if your software is not worth upgrading that is your fault, not the fault of the consumer. You should bear the financial burden of that failure, not the consumer.
Credit on that point mate! Very good analogy!

Okay so SU 2013 is out and live, what are we gonna do at base camp 2013? I know there will be one as they said so last year. Normally base camps are the venue to reveal new versions, at least it has been in the past.

did we loose custom icons on mac???

That's another reason to suspect that we might see a significant update later this year.

I'll keep looking on the bright side
Never noticed the Mac custom icons ..... then again, I'm having difficulty discerning between red and yellow!
-
Seriously?
Almost 3 years and what we got is a bunch of new icons? -

Windoze Mike, nothing I can see explains it, I could do a reinstall and see if it is just a blip.

I'm quite disappointed too when i found out that what we've got in 2013 is just new icons for sketchup aside from extension warehouse nothing has changed in sketchup interface, though most of the changes were found on Layout. But i was expecting that there will be just little changes in skp 2013 because Trimble had acquired sketchup for just a year but not just changes in icon looks and additional sketchup people component was i was expecting.. I expected now that i can create a dynamic geometry where i can add geometry in an basic object like box, sphere, etc..
