Is your IE version 9 ? If so, try updating to IE10.
I saw this bug on IE9, but could not find what's the issue...does IE mean differently here in sketchucation? i understand IE as internet explorer.
anyway, i would go for that. thanks! -
@jiminy-billy-bob said:
- Nope, that's not possible. Unfortunately.
- Already working on it.
3&4. Added to my todo list.
cool! we all will be waiting!
i'm always checking for your updates. this plugin is so helpful! thanks!

IE means the same thing here: Internet Explorer
-
It will be avaiblable on mac when it's ready. I don't know when.

Since IE and WIN OS share many DLL's that contain these calls, an update to an IE DLL will update an OS DLL, but not necessarily vice versa. The app developer WILL have the latest IE on his system, and may use an "updated" OS call, but if you have an older IE, that call may fail.
Your point is well taken!
Which is why I have always maintained the decision to use Web dialogs in the first place, was a bad idea.Lets face it, a robust SU Ruby API should have been developed with its own graphical interface, not unlike the capability of Python. Its unfortunate Ruby was chosen over Python but that's a story for another day. Instead the SU API developers decided to hitch their horse to the I.E. cart which is about as popular as BING. and also alienates the OSX user.
Lets face it, its almost 2014, and we still have not been able integrate simple graphical information along with user input in a simple format, without a programmer learning 3 other languages to make this work, and also having to be I.E. compliant ..... its downright laughable!

- Adds an options to hide the warning for outdated IE versions (This is intended for people with the warning appearing even though their IE is up to date)
How are you detecting the IE version and which versions are detected incorrectly?
-
I display a warning with
<!--[if IE 7]> <![endif]-->, etc.
But it seems to catch sometimes compatibility mode even when it's supposed to be disabled. Don't know why... -
Some times? Not consistently?
Do you use the META tag to force embedded IE to use the actual IE IE render engine? Embedded IE is more conservative and it uses an older render mode even if you have a standard doctype. See the Lost Manual for more details: https://github.com/thomthom/sketchup-webdialogs-the-lost-manual/wiki/Doctype---Quirks-vs-Standard-vs-SuperstandardI also think that in one of the recent SU versions there was a registry setting set that would bump up this doc type one version (and that would affect older SU versions on the same machine.) So that might be the reason to why you get seemingly random reports of this. It might be they have versions that trigger the IE7 mode.
By the way, should you not be detecting older versions as well, not just IE7?
<!--[if lte IE 7]> <![endif]--> -
That's interesting.
But how can we force the last version ? Let's say I put<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10"/>, how will IE8 behave with this ?@tt_su said:

<!--[if lte IE 7]> <![endif]-->Of course I do
, I just display different things depending on the version, so I have two of these. -

I'd recommend you set it to:<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/>- it will then always pick the latest mode available. Like a normal browser would do. (See example in the SKUI project: https://github.com/thomthom/SKUI/blob/master/src/SKUI/html/window.html#L4) -
Ok thanks !

-

Hi Thomas,
I get this consistently in SU8...
...not on SU2013
-
I had this as well when trying to update it from the pluginstore inside SU8.
(I use SU8 to check everything is right after an update)
I deleted Layers Panel in the plugin folder and installed it again from the PS. Works fine... I thought it was a permission issue, but maybe the fact that you have it proves it's something else ?
I already had this kind of problem in the past, with files not being properly replaced during an update with the PS. -
If you have changed a script file etc then it might be advisable to popup a warning to tell the user to restart SketchUp to effect the changes - depends on how the menus/toolbars etc are written.
BUT if you have a file that is still loading that shouldn't be - e.g. you have replaced it with a new file [with a different name] BUT that older now-not-needed legacy-file is left behind and is loaded/going-to-load-next-time, then your code really needs to do its own tidying up and delete these legacy-files as it itself loads; AND if so; then warn the user to restart SketchUp to effect all of the changes... -
Nope, no new file, just updated ones. And restarting SU does not solve this...
