[Plugin][$] 3D Tree Maker - New version 1.10.14

Alan Fraser

That looks similar to my Plugins properties...except I have "CREATOR OWNER" on top of SYSTEM; and "Administrators(Alan-PC/Administrators)" underneath it.

TIG

Remove 'Trusted Installer'.
The 'CREATOR OWNER' is optional - but if it inherits permissions from its container, then it might screw up things...
Use the minimum number of 'users/groups' that you can get away with...
Ensure that they ALL have FULL permissions.
Do no 'inherit' any permissions...

Krisidious

Done... Still problem persists...

TIG

What's under the 'Owner' tab ?

Krisidious

TIG

Then you are screwed
I'm out of ideas...

Krisidious

Yes!

It's a conflict.

Removing all plugins from the plugins folder and it works.

Now how can I figure out which one it is...

Box

Do the old half half trick, add half of them back, if they work try the other half, when you get a half that doesn't work halve it and repeat until you have the one precious.

Krisidious

I have something running that none of you do... and David does.

David? What do you draw?

Krisidious

extensions.rb...

As a 'health-check' can I suggest that anyone who thinks they have a mess up looks in their ../Plugins folder for the following .rb files that ought to appear only in their ../Tools folder.
If they are in the wrong folder move them [back] into ../Tools; if they are duplicated then remove the Plugins folder's version.
Depending on your SUp version, and what optional tools you might have, you could have these .rb files...
Which should be in ../Tools if you have them at all...
The bold ones are the base-set for most setups and have been around for several versions...
advancedcameratools
date
**dynamiccomponents**
**extensions**
filmandstage
**langhandler**
make_pano_pm
rational
**sandboxtools**
shadowstringsfix
**sketchup**
SolarNorth
webtextures
Several of these have matching subfolders - e.g. 'Sandbox' within ../Tools too...
If you are in any doubt ask.
Don't delete any duplicated files you find but rather move them into a [new name='disabled'] subfolder so they don't auto-load - then you can always restore them when you've gone wrong

TIG

Note that with the advent of v2013 the files:
su_advancedcameratools.rb su_dynamiccomponents.rb su_sandbox.rb su_webtextures.rb
and their matching-named folders should now be in the 'Plugin' folder.
As installed by SketchUp 2013's installer
These files replace the earlier SketchUp version's similar files [named without the 'su_' prefix] which belonged in the 'Tools' folder [<=v8], BUT which sometimes got misplaced in the Plugins folder...

The other 'system' .rb files still reside in the 'Tools' folder in v2013 as before [i.e. sketchup.rb, extensions.rb and langhandler.rb].

Krisidious

hooray...

Box

Just curious Kristoff, did you copy plugins over from SU8 or did you clean install them all?

Krisidious

What do you think...

You know how the sketchucation plugin store says 800 plugins? I tried each one...

Box

Fair enough, but I have only installed what I needed as I wanted it, stopped me having loads of crap that I had tried in the past and didn't use now.
With the Sketucation plugin it makes it simple to start from scratch.

TIG

And remember that if you AutoInstall a plugin from the "SketchUcation Plugin Store" and then find that you only want to use it occasionally, then you can use the Store's toolbar sibling 'SketchUcation Plugins Manager' to 'Disable' it, so then it doesn't auto-load when SketchUp starts.
Later when you need to use that particular Plugin you just 'Load' it [without Enabling]... so that it 'Loads' into SketchUp for just that one session, but it remains 'Disabled' when SketchUp is restarted.
If later you find that you want to use it more often, then you can 'Enable' it permanently, so it then auto-loads again whenever SketchUp starts...
If a Plugin is written as an 'Extension' then you can always use the 'SketchUcation Extension Manager' to 'Enable'/'Disable' it so it is only made active 'on demand'...
With v2013 the Extensions Manager's tool-details for a selected Extension show its 'Loader' file-path/name, so you can easily find that Plugin and 'Disable' it with the 'Plugin Manager', which will then stop the 'Extension' even being auto-loaded at startup - again that's tidier if it's rarely used...
