[Plugin] Add comments to your file

inteloide · 30 Mar 2014, 19:14

Hello,

I can't resist anymore ! Please find here version 1.2.0 for trial (not official for now).
Is missing translation (to be added later) so all is in English.
Your comments from previous version are not destroyed : they are in "General" tab.
To delete a tab just click on red cross that appear when mosue is over a tab label.
To add a tab, click on "+" tab
Also one important improvements, is the undo stack is not filled with action of comments saving.

To be added :

Translation
Tab rename function
Tab position change

Please try to add/delete tab to check if all is ok. I spent lot of time to check, but please try yourself.

For Aerilius : I try to keep code so big, I'm still ok I think. Let me bet that you will have a look ;o)

For Glro/Box, I will try to implement a link between tab and scene (when clicking on a scene, a tab is shown). My main concern is to keep interface simple. Also for hyperlink, I cannot do it without nicEdit (through JQuery). The problem is to manage it, quite complex for me. I tried (some hours) to debug it, unsucessfully. Let's try again, starting from 0...

Version 1.2.0

Looks good but I managed to break it for you.

If you create a new tab and Delete the General tab it gives you this error. Generally you wouldn't expect someone to delete the general tab, but I just had to do it to see.

Here is the correction :
Version 1.2.1

very efficient

would be nice to be able to rename the title of the tabs

"espanol" doesn't include "h"

maybe i type rather fast, but the comment get written in the window very slowly; maybe it is my computer

an internet link would be useful for me, because it would enable to attach a cloud hosted document to the model but a link to a scene would not; you can already switch scene using the native scene tabs

the button (icon) doesn't show up the first time after installing the plugin; but it pops up the second time you launch sketcup after installing the plugin

Hello

Rename function added :
Version 1.3.0

Place your mouse on tab name, and a new button appear.
I also added mouse title when over the button to discribe their function.

For hyperlink... you have to be more patient
For linking a tab to a scene, I think that people wants to show a tab when user click on a scene. That is quite easy to do with an observer.

For your slow key entry, I save the comment each time you press a key or you left the text area (to catch copy/paste events).
That may slow down system but not as much as I understand from you...

thank you

Hello !

Just post a new version that can link tab a scene : when clicking on a scene, the tab appears.
For that, click on the new button icon when mouse on tab. A new window open asking for tab name and scene link.

Oh...just thinking that translation is missing...I'll correct soon...

Hmmm, no, this version appears broken for me.
I can't change a name or link to a scene and deleting a tab throws the error attached.

inteloide · 6 Apr 2014, 09:24

Still getting the same error.

Box · 6 Apr 2014, 12:53

Sorry, I just noticed that it has a second error, thought it was a repeat but it is a different line.

There were a lot of bugs actually... Thanks for raising the error you had.
Version 1.5.1, just posted, corrects the tab deletion issue.

glro · 6 Apr 2014, 16:08

just downloaded the 1.5.1 version

found out you have to press on "TAB" to link a tab to a scene

but actually no link seems to be made on my computer, because when i clic on the tab in comment window, it doesn't show the linked scene in sketchup, and when i clic on the scene tab in sketchup, it does'nt show the linked tab comment

i am probably missing something...

Hello Glro,

Actually, the plugin should works like this : when selecting a scene in Sketchup, the linked (if defined) tab in plugin is shown.

The opposite (when clicking on a tab in plugin, show the scene in Sketchup) is not implemented yet. I could, if you need it.

About the javascript error you have, could you please tell me more : when do you have this error, what did you do before ?

when i clic on a scene tab in sketchup, it doesn't change anything in the comment window, even if i previously set a link between a comment tab and a scene tab

the error message i sent, i don't remember how it popped up

here is a new one: it appeared when i clicked on the comment button to show again the comment window, after closing it using the cross in the upper left corner

inteloide · 6 Apr 2014, 17:38

tiiuuuu !!!!
I've same bug when changing the language.... not good

inteloide · 6 Apr 2014, 18:14

okay, version 1.5.2 should solve javascript issue.
About your tab-scene issue, I tried from an empty file : it works.

Could you please open the ruby consol window (Window/Ruby Consol) to see if error appear Inside, when setting the link and changing the scene in SU ?

Thank you.

no error message in the ruby console ... because it works perfectly!

i clic on the scene tab and the comment window shows the corresponding tab, as said

after installation, i had to close sketchup and open it again, though; just after the installation, it didn't work

thank you, seems operational; i am not sure about the use of a backward link between the comment window and the scenes...
