[Plugin] Components manager plugin
-
@jql said:
4 - There is a feature that is not working as I would expect too. If one refreshes the list by whatever reason it collapses (some commands also refresh it). You loose the context on the list you were on. Of course it's easy now to choose from model so this is just a minor question.
JQLExcept this request, I think I've complete all the other request.
But don't worry I have one idea for this request, even if I think that at the end using list in a non-tree style is easier to use.Other steps for plugin optimization would be :
- Add possibility to auto-update the list when change the model with defining the update time (from 1 sec for small model, too minutes for big one) I could link this frequency to the time required to update the list : frequency auto-defined !
- Add possibility to attached current time as modification time for component in model. This could be usefull for old model designed before having the plugin, or designed while plugin was desactivated.
- change Option interface (options are mixed, and design just horrorful !)
- change actions button at bottom of main window. Or allow user to defined which button he wants to have.
If you have other request...they will be welcomed.
If few days I will open a new topic to find some beta tester for an industrial 6 axis robot manager plugin. This will be the second plugin I'll officially release even if they are months I'm working on.
So if you have other requests it's time, even if I won't let you down !

Thanks,

Test v1.12 on Mac:
The Options button doesn't work, it appears this message in Ruby Console when you push the button:%(#FF0040)[Error: #<TypeError: can't convert false into String>

Hello Oxer,
Version 1.12.1 should solve your issue.

Other problems
1. The Options "Auto-select instances in model" & "Auto-select instances in list" worked only the first time that I ran the plugin.
2. The Groups don't appear in the List although you have marked them in the Filters windows.
3. I don't know if this is important but when I create a "New File" with the Ruby Console opens, it appears this message:%(#FF0040)[Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `execute_script' for nil:NilClass>

Great work!!
All work fine now *****, nice Options window, perhaps a scrollbar, the windows size is very small on Mac and you have to resize them manually.
The translation works partially.
It works in:
- Plugins Menu
1. Titles of the windows.
1. Tooltips of the items in the List.
1. Tooltip of the toolbar icon.
1. All the strings in the Filters window.
1. String: "List update at "
1. All pop-up windows.
The rest no.
***** See the next post.

Inteloide,
For me undo is working badly again, this time it says undo BGSketchup instead of undo EDIT Properties.
Besides that, if I do a push pull I can't define a distance I have to get a reference point.
I have to disable plugin and restart SU for undo or pushpull to work.
Best regards,
JQL

ok guys.
Last version should solve some of your issues.Oxer, for the issue of option for selecting components....very strange, everything work perfect on my PC. Is it not working with groups ? (
I didn't implemented this function for groups. I should include it).
Same remarks with Group filter. I tried successfully lot of model.
For your point 3, this error involve also JSQL issues, then this version should solved everything.
JQL please try again your undo issue, on my it works.Oxer, is this version solve the scrollbar issue in option window ?
We keep in touch.
Inteloide -
Pushpull is working nicely outside groups and components, but inside a component you still are unable to set a dimension for pushpull, or Undo. This time it doesn't even undo if you press CTRL+Z a lot.
I'm going to PM you a model for you to test.
-
I sent you a PM with my answers, but the scrollbars no appear in the Options window.

Hello
Just post a plugins that solve push/pull issue (and maybe some other). It was a bug not so easy to find...
Oxer, I will post you a special version that tries to add scrollbar on Safari. About translation, could you tell me exactly an example of a translation not working ? I change in version 1.12.4 the option translation text to the English to avoid wrong coding because of new option texts structure.
Version 1.12.4 :
Corrected : Issue when using push/pull tool in a component.
Optimized : Simplified attribute date change in model to open only one time for each component. -
With v1.12.4 on Mac the scrollbars continue missing and the translation works partially.
It works in:
- Plugins Menu
- Titles of the windows.
- Tooltips of the items in the List.
- Tooltip of the toolbar icon.
- All the strings in the Filters window.
- String: "List update at "
- All pop-up windows.
The rest no.

Ok this means that "options" are not translated. Are all options not translated ? (remember that in current Localization.rb file I let everything in English, to try it you have to change translation).
Also, for your window size issue, I added a option to save window size, which solve temporary your size issue.
V 1.13.0 :
Added : New option to save window size
Added : Show refreshing time in the window status bar
Corrected : Remove one unused global variable -
Yes, all Options not translated. I changed the translation.
The "Save Window Size" option works fine but there is a great problem, when you call the plugin the first time all work fine, then you close the Component Manager window, the second time that you call the plugin, it appears the Component Manager window with the message: "Please refresh the list" but the buttons doesn't work, no Refresh List, no Link to file, nothing.

Inteloide,
I tried it again today and the problems with push-pull and undo have disappeared, but now I'm seing it messing with Fredoscale and I also believe JointPushPull. I think it's because they perform changes to components and groups visually and interactively.
I think your plugin is making Fredo scale multiply a given value several times, until the mouse is clicked.
I also believe it's making JointPushPull crash.
May you have some conflicts with your observers and Fredo's?

Hello JQL,
I check a bit Fredo's plugin code, apparently nothing should make conflict...but I will ask Fredo if we can check this toegether.

But did you see what happens? Do you want me to make a video or something?
-
Hello JQL,
Yes a little video would be helpful.

Inteloide,
There you have the video. If component manager plugin is disabled FredoScale works normally.
It also works as usual on groups and sometimes on components with multiple instances.The object being stretched by FredoScale Box Stretch to Target is a component.
Thanks again for all your effort,
JQL
