[Plugin] Shortcutter Beta
-
And it's gone again... maybe I try to assign a shortcut it doesn't like to a function it doesn't like, but then again it works in SU2013.

I did no import of dat files on 2015
So you ought to have NO 'Plugins/...' entries ?
If you useSketchup.get_shortcuts.grep(/Plugin/)
do you get a result ?
If so, then it begs the question, "How did 'they' get there?"
When v2015 installs and brings over the earlier versions shortcuts does it not make Plugins >>> Extensions, maybe not...At least the "Shortcutter" can show users of v2015 those shortcuts incorrectly pointing at a non-existent Plugins menu !
They can then export the v2015 Preferences.dat, use Notepad++ to edit it and replace 'Plugins/' with 'Extensions/' ans save, then import it back in, accepting the overwrite of the incorrect shortcuts.
When "Shortcutter" works again there should be no 'Plugins' items listed, as they will have all been moved to be 'Extensions' ?

I sent you a long rambling email rather than put it here.
But, yes, this make no sense whatsoever.

certainly not on the mac...
thats why I wrote the short script I posted earlier...
There was also a post in the 'doh' forum that implied you needed to edit the dat on PC...couldn't the search and replace be added to this, for those in need?

So Trimble have messed up.
They transfer shortcuts from an earlier version, but seem to keep useless Plugins/... entries, because they need to refer to menu Extensions/... - assuming you have the same scripts installed [eventually].Sorry for MAC users - don't know about editing plists etc...
So my PC ideas of exporting the "Preferences.dat" from v2015, editing it with Notepad++ to replace Plugins/ with Extensions/, saving, then importing back into v2015, overwriting existing shortcuts...
WOULD fix the issue.
Meanwhile "Shortcutter" can show up the issue as having 'Plugins' items listed in v2015 means you have NOT go a proper shortcut list set up ! -

that's why I posted the code...
it's very easy from ruby...
here it is again...require "pathname" target = Pathname(Sketchup.find_support_files("").grep(/User/)[0]).parent shortcuts = Pathname(target + "Shortcuts.plist") File.write(shortcuts,File.open(shortcuts,&;read).gsub("Plugins","Extensions")) if File.exists?(shortcuts)

FWIW, I just got to my PC. I checked and it was showing "Plugin" under the Shortcutter. I exported Preferences.dat, opened it, edited to replace all instances of 'Plugins' with 'Extensions. Saved, re-imported and checked the Shortcutter again. Now it shows 'Extensions' as TIG described. Easy conversion.

@dave, if you run that snippet in 'Ruby Console' on your mac, it does the equivalent to the plist...

Thanks John. I'll give that a try when I get back to my Mac.

Ok, I don't know why, but now it seems to work. I set up all shortcuts by hand again and now I see everything as it should be.

Gabor tweaked some JS code that TIG highlighted.

Hi, it is possible?

It think that could be a feature Fredo could add to his plugins himself. Ask him.
