[Plugin] Smooth Zoom 2.1.0 - 24 October 2021

[armerial]

I'm still waiting for this awesomeness for the 2024 version

Guys, this tool is exceptional, yet (instead of complaining about it), you should give yourself the chance to try at least for 3 weeks a Space Mouse (or 3D Mouse) from 3D Connexion.
No opinion from YouTube (or from yourself) doesn't weigh as much as 3 weeks of day-to-day use of this device - 3 weeks is the minimum your brain needs to understand and use this device, and after that, you will ask yourself how could you ever work without it, and you will never work without it (i have 3 of them).
This device is priceless.!

Anton is aware of this errors. Expect a fix asap

[TIG]

Until there's a fix available, because the error is in a RB file you can edit it with a plain-text editor like Notepad++.exe
Find where it says File.exists? and change it to File.exist?
Both method coexisted for ever and were equivalent to each other, but in >=v2024 someone chose to deprecate the original correct-English sounding version, and cause authors issues.
After you save that edit restart SketchUp to see if that fixed it...

@Anton_S HELLO FRIEND, CAN YOU MAKE IT WORK ON VERSION 2025 ? IT IS MY ESSENTIAL COMPONENT ! THANK Y OU

[TIG]

@kurdoc69
Read my reply above yours, it outlines how to do a manual fix on the RB file, until the author responds.

[kurdoc69]

@TIG i downloaded notepad++ but my file is rbz, when i open it i can't understand the language to edit, sorry i don't understand about this.

[TIG]

You need to install it into v2025 from the RBZ - with errors.
Then close SketchUp and find the RB file in your Plugins folder, open it it with Notepad++.exe and do the edit as outlined above...
The installed file is C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/SketchUp/SketchUp 2025/SketchUp/Plugins/ams_SmoothZoom/extension_manager.rb

[kurdoc69]

@TIG I changed 3 places where it said File.exists? and then I get this new error

[TIG]

So that error seems to relate to a missing directory or file.
You need to wait for the author to resolve this .
Sorry.

[kurdoc69]

@TIG thank you for your support

[shepyura]

Помогите! 2024 не работает! SOS)!ПОЖАЛУЙСТА!

The earlier posts in this thread explain how to make a temporary fix by editing the RB file.
В предыдущих сообщениях в этой теме объясняется, как сделать временное исправление путем редактирования файла RB.
