With your plugin, Sketchup 8 Pro (32 bits Windows 7) doesn't start correctly and a bug splat was produced.
If i remove your plugin, all is OK... and sketchup starts correctly !

Any error message before it crashes?

No it crashes just after the new Layers panel Tool-box appears on screen..

Could you try with only Layers Panel, and no other plugin?

Jiminy,
I've told you before of a file of mine were from time to time I loose all layer groups I created before.
I lost them again and with the latest version of the plugin I can't create new layer groups so I can correct the model.
Something's funky and I don't know what.
The model is 83mb, with a lot of scenes and layers for each scene, so I can create document drawings for construction in Layout. It's heavy in terms of size and organization but it's an example of what we do at our office and why your plugin would be so handy.
I can send you the model, if you want but not through here.
Best regards and thanks,
JQL

That would be useful. Maybe by PM or email?

sometimes when i try and undo an operation it does not work and looking at EDIT -> UNDO - it will say UNDO Properties as if I changed a property instead of the modeling operation I am trying to undo... is this coming from Layers Panel?

I don't think so.
It has been reported that LP can cause weird things with the undo stack, but every operation should have an explicit name. So no "undo properties".
Unless you're using an old version?@matt.gordon320 said:
Thanks again Jiminy-Billy-Bob! This plugin is amazing! I do have a request (unless it's a feature I missed). Would there be any plans to be able to select and group multiple layers by holding Shift and clicking like in Photoshop, then hold Ctrl and remove one or two?
Not sure if it's already coded in, and mine isn't working for some reason or not. Just checking! Thanks!
It should work. Are you using the last version?

EDIT: Right after posting, just realized most of the UI isn't responding. No crashes, no hangs, it just doesn't do anything.
Stuff that works: Moving layers, visibility, current layer toggle, render toggle, lock layer, move selection to highlighted layer, select highlighted layer's entities.
Stuff that doesn't respond: Everything else.
Tried restarting both SketchUp and Windows, but to no avail. Strange, it was working just a few minutes ago.

Using the latest (1.1.0), yes. I just removed it from the folder, restarted, and am reinstalling to see if I can nail down what the issue that triggered it is, or if it was just a fluke. I'll keep you posted
-
Ok, tested a couple times, and I can't quite pin down what's causing the issue. It behaves slightly differently in a couple files. I've attached a txt file explaining more in depth to keep the thread short, and a couple of example models.
This is a the model where I had the issue.
This is my default template file.
I wrote this and tabbed it in Sublime Text, so it should be organized, let me know if it's not.

matt > Your files work just fine for me. It seems you have a similar issue than JQL who also sent me a file that works fine on my machine. Did you guys recently installed a new plugin?
What happens if you disable all the other plugins? (Rename your plugins folder to something like "Plugins2", and create a new "Plugins" folder with only LP in it)

hmmmmm. I've been going through and doing a clean network install of plugins and testing them 1 by 1 to make sure they work well in 2014 (with the new move to Ruby 2). I'll get to disabling all the other plugins and testing Layers Panel solo. I'll let you know!Thanks!
-
Ok, no luck. Even removing all plugins, and installing only to the default plugins directory, same behavior. Everything works until I try to create a Layer Panel group, then most of the UI elements break. Any thoughts on what I can do to help track down what my computer is doing to this thing?

Nothing in the ruby console?
Did you try running the plugin from your local machine, instead of the network? -

Did you try running the plugin from your local machine, instead of the network?I'm not great with understanding the ruby console yet, but I had it open, and it showed no output.
Yes, I tried it by removing everything aside from the default extensions that ship with SketchUp, and installing JBB_LP to the default plugins. Still no luck. It's weird, I cannot figure out what's going on with it. Everything works fine until the Group button is used, then bam, dead.

What happens in a new file?
Did you try in SU2013 or SU8?Also, what is your version of Internet Explorer?
Frankly, this is a mystery to me
-
New file gets the same behavior, even from the SketchUp standard templates that ship with it. Trying it on a different version is next up. I will probably have to test it on SU Make, Pro 2014 is the only one I have.
IE version: 11.0.9600.17041
I'm going to test it on a couple other workstations to see if they get the same issue. I'm totally perplexed as well. It doesn't through up any errors or info in the console, beats the hell out of me. I'll give you an update whenever can. Maybe I'll have to reformat my system and try again.

You can download older versions here: http://www.sketchup.com/download/all

Before doing so, make sure to test on other workstations.
I'll myself try to include a debug console inside Layers Panel dialog, so that you can see what's breaking.
What is the language of your sketchup install?
