      A possible future feature is the ability to colour the layers as in Sketchup's layers window. Also to rollup the window by clicking on the title bar.

      Unfortunatly, the API doesn't allow me to do that...

      Ive got some problems with the layer panel.

      1. It is asking for me to update the current ie explorer. But i already installed version 10 although it is not my standard browser, which is firefox.

      Can you go to http://whatsmyua.com/ with Internet Explorer, and tell me what it says ?

      1. When I use the features as explained s. a . creatíng groups and layers and sort the whole structure, then i will not be able to open this very drawing again after saving and closing it properly. The comment is: ²wrong file format!² , the file is actally lost.

      Did you create these groups with a version of Layers Panel older than 0.3.1 ? Like 0.2, 0.3, etc

      Thanks

        I'm having issues with renaming layers - only some though others work fine.

        deleting layer and starting again this dosen't happen - I can rename again

        (i didn't have to make a video for this but I've never done it, so there you go....)

                Ok, thanks.
                I think it's related to Observers watching layers change. I had these kind of issue in the past and resolved a lot of them, but it's possible that some remain. If it's indeed related to observers, it should occur only with old layers created before Layers Panel was installed.

                gullfo > I'll look at your file.

                  Ok Glenn, I found the issue. You simply have too many layers. It's related to the max length a url can pass between the dialog and SU. I forgot about this... I'll need to rewrite some code.

                    Thats it- it was an old layer. The reason i was changing it was to give it a capital letter, I started out with non-capitalised layer names......

                      does that mean theres a limit on layers?

                        For now, yes. I had this planned, but completely forgot about it. So I don't know the current limit. But in next version, it should be fixed.

                            that's the short list 😄 once you start to use ACAD standard architecture layer sets it gets "big"

                              On renamaming layers or groups directly on Layers Panel with letters from non ASCII character set (e.g. ąžįėš) this letters was changed to unicode codes.

                              I just tested, and it works for me when I rename a layer to "ąžįėš". Which versions of Sketchup, windows, and internet explorer are you using ?

                                New version 0.3.2 beta !

                                Changelog :

                                • Fix bugsplat when deleteing/purging layers with Outliner opened
                                • New naming conventions (For the Extension Warehouse)

                                Download in the plugin store !

                                At startup, you should get once "Error Loading File layers_panel.rb no such file to load -- layers_panel.rb". This is normal, it's just the plugin deleting the old files.

                                  this is with release 0.3.2
                                  same naming issue with names not changing in the LayersPanel - they are changing in the Layers Window though

                                  I updated the plugin this morning. The layers were made yesterday. I closed down SU. restarted SU. captured film so its not happening with the layers or folders before the plugin was installed, as all were made yesterday
                                  C

                                  EDIT: in the time its taken me to write the above the layer has now changed to 'hello' in LayersPanel. just so you know...

                                    Doh! I was just about to look at this.

                                    Can you PM me the old version that crashed? I'd like to have a look at it.
                                    (Also, what did you do to avoid the crash?)

                                      Is it just the Win32 API dependency that makes this Windows only?

                                            This is really weird. How about renaming a layer, then close the dialog and open it again ? Is the name updated ?

                                            Is the dialog focused when you're trying to do that ?
                                            Has anyone else the same issue with shortcuts ? It works fine for me, when the dialog is not focused.

                                            Yeah, sorry about that, it was a serverside issue. It should be fixed now.
