How do I log out?

TIG

There is no simple 'log-out'.
Run this line of code in the Ruby Console [edit>copy+edit>paste+<enter>].

File.delete(File.join(SCF_Dialog;;SCFDIR,'cookie.dat'))

It deletes you current login data, You will then be prompted to log-in again when you next use the SketchUcation PluginStore dialog...
You must use a valid SketchUcation member-name and its password...

Hi guys! Fantastic job on the plugin, I use it almost daily.

I wanted to throw out a request, see if it makes sense. I use SketchUcation Tools to manage and install plugins across a network, with people on SketchUp 8 and 2014. I've got some pro users who know how to use many plugins, some newbies who don't, and several different departments who have different needs. I use Fredo's Additional Locations Script to point to different directories on the network as well.

Would there be any benefit to adding a section where you can define your own "packages" as it were, so that I could create batch installs for user definable groups. For instance, I could make a package with some of ThomThom's scripts that we use, so that I could batch install those to a single location? I'd like to have a package I could install for out Land Planning Department, one for design, etc.

Also, I thought I'd mention that the current AutoInstall window doesn't fit everything if you have a fairly long path. Not a problem since it sorts alphabetically, but thought I'd mention it.

Long file paths get clipped

Thanks, and keep up the great work. I can elaborate more if it helps!

You could of course choose more snappy folder names ?
N:/SUp/Plugins/Network/Ruby20/xxx/...
You seem to use very loooong paths... Windows does have <= ~255 characters limit too !

LOL Yes. Getting by the upper management sometimes is the issue. "It should be clear to everyone what it is..blah blah blah"

I wanted to see if I could also request that the version compatibility be put in at a glance if possible from the main store window. It shows downloads, and sometimes usage, but it'd be nice to show compatibility too for installing across multiple versions.

@shake1: PM was sent to you.

@matt.gordon320: Thank you for the good ideas. You might see these features in the 3.0 version coming soon.

I'm sorry I can not answer in a personal, if you do not mind I'll answer here

@gábor said:

I have some questions regarding your error. Please answer them to let us find the reason:

Did you have the same problem with the previous (v.2.6.0) version of the plugin?
Do you have this unzip issue only with one specific plugin file or installing any plugin throws this error?
What happens when you download the .rbz file and manually install it at Preferences/Install Extension?

version 2.6.0 had the same problem
this error when installing/updating any plug
each file is installed successfully from Preferences/Install Extension

@unknownuser said:

AND... if you have the Ruby Console open, are there any messages ?
Also, if you download some RBZ files can you auto-install using SketchUcation / Install Archive... submenu item ?

Ruby console does not display any messages
from SketchUcation / Install Archive... installed without problems

Collecting the good ideas for the next release. Log out feature is one of them.

Gábor

@shake1: Thank you for the answers. We are looking for the possible cause. Will let you know if we have any other questions or if we have the fix for it.

Hi! Solved my problem - in the name of the computer was Cyrillic. Renamed to letters and began working plugin. Thank you guys, I'm happy again!

TIG

Maybe we need to look at encoding/decoding the user's computer-name to avoid this [it's needed for the 'Bundles' feature]...

This a strange and rare problem, which is actually unrelated to the toolset itself, but rather to your 'system' files.

I personally discovered it when v2014 was released, but at that time I seemed to be the only person who could create the issue.
The 'zlib.so' and its related 'zlib1.dll' are shipped with Ruby2 and should simply load when needed by any Ruby tools doing 'zip/unzip' processes...
However, if the zlib has already been loaded 'universally' from another source, AND that zlib version is somehow significantly different, then it causes the Ruby2 one to have issues and so it fails to load.
I discovered that several programs come with zlib etc as part of their toolset, but these are located in the app's own folder and load as they need.
However, some old program seems to have once upon a time put its copy of zlib into a system folder [perhaps InkScape?] - this means it loads as your PC starts up, AND unfortunately that zlib version also had some silly changes incorporated into it, which breaks the standard zlib processes used by all others programs...

So to fix it...
Find the rogue zlib* file[s] and remove it/them.
Look in your C:\Windows, C:\Windows\System32\ and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ folders... there should be NO 'zlib' files in these folders.
[Other 'zlib' files supplied within other app's own subfolders should not present an issue]
Restart your PC.
You should find that the v2014 Ruby2 zlib.so version is now properly loaded and so works !
This will mean that SketchUcation Toolset v2.6.1, AND any other tools using zlib's zip/unzip functions should now work correctly !
