[Plugin] Layers Panel 1.2.1
-
Oh, I thought I had this fixed. I'll take a look at it.

Dan Rathbun wrote this fix. Drop it in the "Tools" folder and tell me if it works.
EDIT : It's for the startup issue.

Hi Jiminy,
Great updates! The problem is, you keep giving us more, we keep asking for more...
In SU Layers window we can set color to individual layers but not to a group of layers. Wich made me think that with your plugin this would be great!
We could change the color of a group and change all the layers inside it or window select some layers, then changing one, could change all. Maybe selecting a bunch of layers and make all layers same color from the active layer...
Anyway, there might be a way of doing this already that I'm unaware of?
Thanks again, this plugin should be built in SU core...

Have to praise this tool!! working on big projects and having loooooooooong list on the SU layers is just a pain.
Notice you have added a render icon for different engines on your tool. Artlantis is not there…. doesn't affect my work. but at first i though it was a miracle button to press.
working on Mac machine. works okay, not as smooth as you show it
-
Can't you already choose which layer you want to render in Artlantis?
What's not smooth on Mac? Can you do a small video?

I just noticed that 1.0.2 doesn't update the WebDialog when you add/remove layers via the WebDialog. The model layers are created - it's just the UI doesn't.
Adding layer-groups updates the UI though. -
for the rendering button, at first, i thought it would open up an instant window for quick rendering instead of having to opening Artlantis separately. I think the render function makes more sense for those plug-in engines and so…. ( i used to run Shaderlight… not on your list either)
Keeping Artlantis not saying its a bad thing, there are pros and cons I would say.
Not so smooth wise. it does't happen all the time, but so far i found the following are most common.
1)The subject (layers and names) on your tool window does not response simultaneously to SU window. (i.e.; what I click add layer in your tool, I can see layer is added ONLY in the SU window, but not on tool's window) like they both do not spontaneously correspond.
- Having several SU files open. switching from one to other. The tool struggles to keep up.
ie; the tool's window content still showing the first SU model, even I have jump to working on the second model. (the first model still running at the back ground)
Sorry don't have a video (don't know how to, please enlighten me if there is a way to Screen-capture a video)
will let you know if there is further niggles - Having several SU files open. switching from one to other. The tool struggles to keep up.

and just now… it crashes

Are you submitting the BugSplats? Did you enter any information we can use to look it up?

I confirm that the copy/paste issue when creation of new layers is needed is solved. Great work!
How about that:

Hello
You can sort the list by alphabetical order of layers? . It can be added as an option?
thanksSomeone (maybe you ?) already suggested this. So it's on my todo list
If possible, would be layer groups sorted too and would the user be able to overwrite the alphabetical sorting or just put a lower number as prefix in order to get the layer up?

It's a limitation of the Sketchup API. I can't do better.
You have to move the view for the dialog to update. (Orbit, pan, etc)@ckho1985 said:

Adding layer-groups updates the UI though.Actually, after some testing, serveral things -including this- were broken since version 1.0.0 on Mac. It's weird that nobody mentionned it earlier.
I fixed it, see below:

interestingly, if you pin a file to sketchup 2014, and launch from the taskbar jumplist, it will open without errors - dont know if that helps
Thank you! It works!
I think it may be linked with SU current "Working Directory".
I tested some random folders. If current working directory is on other drive than SU installed(maybe it should be only C:) plugin crashes.
I have profile folders on D:. When I'm starting SU with desktop shortcut SU's working dir sets to D:\Profile\Desktop. When starting from pinned shortcut - C:\Windows\System32\jiminy-billy-bob, you are using relative paths in source. Maybe ruby engine tries load file using current working directory and only it's drive(D: in my case)
Maybe there is way to set up current working dir to system drive or any MS API to find system drive and try load required libraries with that path?
Or is this SU bug and about this should think SU developers?I think any can repeat this bug in Windows just changing "Working dir" in shortcut to any folder on any another than system drive.
Is there bugtracker?) -

Any updates you'd care to share on the work to make LP and Thea work together?
