[Plugin] Components manager plugin

ole

Works wonderfully!! Very sophisticated Plugin. I love its power and friendliness.

It needed Lines 44 and 66 of file BGSketchup.rb changed to delete .chr in my U.S. version of SU8 on win7.

Hello Ole,

I don't have SU8 installed anymore on my PC (I have SU2013 and SU2014), therefore I cannot see the error you have. Normally SU 2013 and SU 8 have the same level of ruby but...looks like no

Could you please send me the exact error you have (in ruby console) in order to solve it ? Because if I remove the .chr, for SU2013 it won't work. I maybe have to have 2 codes depending on SU version...

Thank for your feedback.

With version 1.14.4 downloaded from this thread, plugin doesn't crash but nothing happens. I'm still learning how it works.

Happens when saving or reloading by right-click.

Hello Ole,

Just post version 1.14.5, which include your modification, in first post of this thread.

If you require any help to understand the plugin, you can ask me. Also you have the help file in first post and inside plugins : just click on "about" button and you have a link to the help file.

Hi Inteloide,
I have a quick test on Mac of the last version 1.14.5, for the moment all works fine except the previous problem with the translation, the Tooltips of the icons, Options of components and Options window aren't translated, see the image below
Don't Translated.jpg

The rest of the translation (pop-up windows) works fine.

Here the complete new Spanish translation

Hello !

Please download last version that mainly introduces a javascript error (for SU 2014, javascript errors are not displayed anymore), corrects some bugs.

Oxer, this may raise some error message on Safari, which will help me to find your translation issue...

Inteloide

inteloide

Oxer,

Version 1.14.8 may solve your translation issue. Thank you Aerilius, I have made a modification that should make Safari working properly.

Let me know.

Fantastic, the translation works now on Mac !!
Thanks for the effort with the translation problem.

i had stopped using this plugin because of compatibility problems, but this new version is better

some minors observations: accents window size
window size again

for the 3rd screen copy, no matter what size i give to the window, it is still truncated at the bottom

i was looking for such a plugin to update a model made of components, when individual components have been updated after the model has been created.

Now, there is still a problem i can't solve using the native components window nor this plugin:

when a component is introduced in a model, if there is already one with the same name in it, sketchup automatically adds #1 at the end of the component definition name of the newly introduced component

how to replace the ...#1 component by the one that was first in the model, the name of which is ...?

I tried "reload selected components", AA11# is then written is creen, but the #1 is still at the end of the name...

Irrespective of fixing up dialogs and html etc into FRench...

It has long been know that trying to use file-paths containing "accented characters" causes issue in SketchUp, on PC in versions <=2013.
This is because Ruby1.8 cannot perform some basic and necessary File functions - like confirming that a file exists or reading/writing data.
Ruby2.0 used by SketchUp v2014 is better at this, but even that has some issues to iron-out.

Your error message relates to SketchUp v8.
The folder containing the KCDM.skp is clearly designed to make v8's Ruby have a heart-attack !
MTX_biblioth**è**que_(non_class**é**e)
try a folder rename?
MTX_bibliotheque_(non_classee)
Stick to ye-olde ASCII A-Za-z etc

It is an unexplained oddity that Ruby, which was initiated in Japan with it's very non-standard character usage, should have such issues with text using relatively non-controversial and common accented letters that are used in many locales...

thank you for taking the time to answer

yes, i already have been faced to this accent problem, but the tricky thing is that sometimes it is the source of the problem, and sometimes not

for example, the first screenshot, the problem is due to the fact that i buit the model on a computer using windows XP, and today i use windows 7; so the link is not "... program files... " anymore but "program files (x86)"

anyway, i should change the folder name...

my concern is how to remove the "#1" at the end of the component name

what i do now is:

i replace all the "#1" components by another one which is not already used in the model
i purge the unused components
i replace the component "not already used in the model by the one without the #1

it takes some time...

inteloide

Hello glro !

Are all your compatibility issues only about accent issue ? If not, please tell me in order to improve my plugin.
For HTML size, I will have a look soon.

For your # issue...well the problem is in SU.
Actually, my plugin when reloading one or more components I :
1- load the component definition
2- remove replace old defintion instances by the new definition
3- remove old definition by purging all the model
4- rename new definition with the correct name
So if there is a # when loading the component definition, it will remains after reloading it.

But I think that what you want is to upload a component definition with a file different from the file used at begining, don't you ? Then in SU (not plugin), by right clicking and choose "reload", SU ask you the file name...then definition without # will be replace by the new definition but still without #
Do I'm correct or not ?
If not, I could write you a tiny plugin that do the job automatically...

it seems to me that the #1 component issue is related to your component manager plugin; for example:

i built a model from components in the component folder in june
in july, i modify some of the components
in september, i come back to the model and try to add some of the components that have been modified in july: they come with a #1 at the end

the real solution would be to use your plugin BEFORE i begin to modify the model; i just realize that while i am writing it

So, if all the components in the model are updated, when i add a new one, it will come without any #

i am going to try that...

thank you for trying to find a solution

In SU2015 64bit this plugin causes a crash when I use RoundCorner inside a component. I haven't tested other SU versions.

inteloide

Hello Pherim,

Please try version 1.14.10 which should solve your issue and let me know.

Pherim

Alright, it works again! Thanks!

HI

I downloaded the file manager component for sketchup ver 1.14.8

I use Win 8 Pro 64bit and SU 8 pro

During the installation I always get the following three errors.

line 38 char 2 permission denied
file:///D:/programmi/Sketchup/Plugins/BGSketchup/JQUERY/jquery-1.10.2.js

line 19 char 1 permission denied
file:///D:/programmi/Sketchup/Plugins/BGSketchup/JQUERY/jquery.contextmenu.r2.js

line 193 char 3 Property or method not supported by the object
file:///D:/programmi/Sketchup/Plugins/BGSketchup/Composants/Html/treeview.html

how can I solve this problem?

the program seems to work with many problems but working and is fantastic

I have uploaded the localisation file adding the italian version.

I have translated the help file too but I can't manage pdf file and I have transformed the 7 pdf pages in 7 single pages in html format .
Now I have the 7 page in html and transalted in italian language.
how can I trasform it in one only pdf file?

ciao
