[Plugin] Components manager plugin

Oxer

Now, there isn't Console Error when you open Sketchup, the settings window appears, the plugin generates the BGSketchup_Composants.ini file in Temporal folder, the translation works but the there are some problems:

The list is empty, when you push Update List button, nothing happens, no error in Ruby Console.
If you push Reload All Components button, it appears an error in Ruby Console, see the image 2.
If you push Save All Components button, it appears a first pop up window (image 3), i push Yes button and it appears a second empty pop up window (image 4), i push yes and it appears a Ruby Console Error (image 5).

That ' nil' error points to code at line #494 of the script Composants_Main.rb - which reads:
UI.messagebox @strNbEnregistementDefinitions+" ("+compteur_ok.to_s+"/"+compteur.to_s+")"
So presumably a part of it is actually ' nil' ?
@strNbEnregistementDefinitions is set elsewhere in the script Localization.rb.
This is set from a series of ' if/elsif' tests, BUT ill-advisedly there is no 'fall-back' ' else' when nothing matches the other tests - so then it can return ' nil', and thereby cause the error - because a ' nil' object can't be used as part of a text string!

Perhaps change the code to read...
@strNbEnregistementDefinitions='?' unless @strNbEnregistementDefinitions UI.messagebox(@strNbEnregistementDefinitions+" ("+compteur_ok.to_s+"/"+compteur.to_s+")")

OR have a proper ' else' fall-back in the Localization.rb tests section...

The other two methods used in compiling the remainder of the string should always safely return a string as they start off as 0 - giving '... (1/2)' etc...

This could be due to a missing tranlsation in string (a string not defined in one language). Therefore, I change the way of working on Localisation.rb :
1-I load all strings in English
2-I load the strings in the wanted language.
This means that if a string is not translated, the string will be defined with English value.

The key thing, for me, is to always have strings defined in English, at minimal.

Please try version 1.9.6 below, which should solve this issue.

That's strange...maybe a javascript error...let's try with version 1.9.6, it may solve the issue.

Version 1.9.6

Ok, i'll test it.

The list continues empty
I'll test the other functions

Oxer

Modify file's path -->works
Save selected component -->works
Save all components -->works
Save with new revision level -->works
Reload selected component -- > doesn't work, when you select the component it appears "Saved file is newer!" message but when i push Reload selected component button nothing happens, see the image below.

Could be due to the browser I use which is IE.
Please try to open attached file by placing it in plugins folder, in HTML subfolder. And tells me what happen.
It's just a simplifyed list to see any error that your brownser may show.

If you see something like a list, try to open directly the treeview.html file.

Please report me any error...because without list...it's just not so useful...

I maybe need an html/javascript specialist...

The test file

Oxer

I placed the test.html file in /Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2013/SketchUp/Plugins/BGSketchup/Composants/Html/ then I run Sketchup but when I call the plugin, the list is empty again. I have tried open tree.html in Safari browser and it appears a message:

Safari can't open "sip:get_data@charger_tires" because OSX doesn't recognize the address of internet that begin with "skp:".

When i open test.html in Safari the file shows like this:

Thanks for the update!!
Some questions in OSX:
~~1. If you select Yes in "Show list in tree-style" Option it doesn't appear like tree-style but if you select No then it appears the list in tree-style, is it the option upside down?~~
2. In Filters window the option "Component has no defined date" has a blue color but in Component Manager window it appears in black, is it an error?

PS. The tooltips in Component Manager window don't translate to Spanish.

EDIT: I had not understood the functionality, it works correctly but if you push Filter button when you have selected YES in option "Show list in tree-style", it appears a pop-up window with this message "You must choose option Show list in tree-style.", I think that it should say --> "You must choose NO in option Show list in tree-style." because with YES it isn't appear the Filters window.

Unbelieaveble!

I have not had the time to work with your plugin recently, but this week I will try it for sure. Thanks for all the recent excellent updates, this is growing strong.

There are yet some problems:
1. To work fine the Filter function you must to change the line#50 in Localization.rb file

Of @strTreeListOptionToBeSelected="You must set option '"+@strOptionVerifierChemin+"' to '"+@strNon+"'."

to @strTreeListOptionToBeSelected="You must set option '"+@strAfficherArbre+"' to '"+@strNon+"'."

2. The Filter only works the first time, then when you push Filter again all items are unselected, and if you select one or various items and push Apply button nothing happens in the List window, it appears only the message "Nothing to show due to filters". The Ruby Console is empty.

PS. The tooltips continue without translation in Component Manager window. I send you a new spanish language by PM.
