Thank you for response.
I tried and it still doesn't show the bottom menu icon.
It is still too slow in responding on my input. If I click 'click here to continue', it takes more than 14 seconds. -

REQUEST TO THE DEVELOPER: Tackle this issue, it has not been solved by reinstalling neither SU (to 2023) nor removing and reinstalling a freshly downloaded Sketchucation Tools v4.3.1.
Every time I startup Sketchup, the ExtensionStore v4.3.1 from SketchUcation starts up as well and asks for its credentials, very annoying. Is there a way to stop this? Filling in the credentials doesn't help, every time the window is closed your credentials are lost and you can start from scratch...
Furthermore, the menu item on the right side is grayed out, and when clicking the settings button, you get a "Webpage cannot be found error". Please improve the tool.
I have this exact same problem. It was forced to install it to license RoundCorner. I wish there was simpler way to manage licenses than this janky bloatware.

Forgive the necropost, but this seems like an appropriate place.
The Sketchucation plugin store had stopped working on my machine with a message of something like 'unable to unzip file' with any attempt to install or update.
Upon updating to 4.4.0, I no longer get that message, but either updating or installing instantly reports success, with no positive result.
I suspect that a URL is blocked, but I can't request an unblock without knowing the URL. Is there any logging going on? Is there a generalized download location?
Cheers

I do love that the new version doesn't ask you several questions for each update you install.

@B2Pi You could try whitelisting *.sketchucation.com if there's an issue there.

At some point it did work and then just stopped? That suggests something on your device changed.

@TIG may know more?

Yes, its less OK button bashing simulator. Especially for Bundle installs when you upgrade SketchUp. Just click install and go make a coffee.
Although Fredo's stuff still has a prompt to restart SketchUp.

Ah, well, that was why I was hoping for a base URL. sketchucation.com and community.sketchucation.com are getting through. The plugin store is displaying and cataloguing, it just isn't downloading.

Well, yes. I'm not in control of the firewall. However, the latest behavior does indicate errors on both sides of the wire.

@B2Pi Hmmmm... Alternatlively, is there a way to download a bundle? Could that be considered a feature request?

Hi. I try to install the SketchUcationTools_v4.4.0 but nothing happens and I can't license my plugins on 2024.
What I have to do?
-
You haven't explained what you have tried to do, and what has failed...
Here's some simple steps...
Possibility 1
You already have an earlier version of SketchUcation Tools installed.
Open the ExtensionStore³ dialog, find the tools and click on the Install button.
When it completes, restart SketchUp to sync everything.Possibility 2
You don't have an earlier version of SketchUcation Tools installed.
From our PluginStore, find and download the SketchUcation Tools RBZ file.
Open the native dialog in Extensions > Extension Manager: click the dialog's - Install button, navigate to the downloaded RBZ file and it will install.
When it completes, restart SketchUp to sync everything.To license an extension you need to have bought a license and kept it somewhere safe on your computer.
You can validate a license in the dialog which opens in the particular Extension's submenu - usually under Tools.There are more detailed pages on our site about this...

SketchUcation Tools in 2023 used to load the plungin right away when I enabled it from the disabled menu. I had to restart 2024 now. Am I missing something?
-
@valerostudio
I also see this issue.
When you enable a plugin it might load as an extension but it is not active.
It does not appear under the extensions list, toolbars etc.
Sometimes it works, but others it fails.
After a restart it changes as you'd expect.Something has changed in the API that's preventing this being consistent.
Most odd...
I am looking at the causes and a fix...
It's almost like SketchUp now prevent you from activating just some extensions/plugins on the fly... -

At first I thought it was the SketchUcation plugin that was causing this, but after removing the plugin
I also noticed this problem and it is sometimes worse, he rectified a plugin that I did not rectify
I even have plugins that do not deactivate, even better, I have a plugin that indicates deactivation but it remains active and functional
I have a lot of weird things with SU2024 in addition to random crashes at startup, but when testing on the latest version of SU2023 I have similar behavior
I'm not at all an expert in ruby api sketchup but I have the impression that if the plugin is not correctly coded it can behave like an SU plugin, but probably not all the time!!!
-
I think I also noticing that if I enable a plugin through the SketchUcation manager, close SketchUp and restart, SketchUp will hard crash the first time it starts up and loads that plugin. If I start SketchUp again, no problems and the plugin loads.

The more scenarios where it fails that are reported the better. Then we can try reproduce it our end.
We have 4.4.1 build where the disabling seems to be correct now. But I'll try these steps you've shared to see if it is resolved fully.

@valerostudio
Fixed the loading issue in v2024.
Now testing before reissuing... -
@TIG I'm happy to test it as well if needed. Thanks TIG
