Is this array.clone versus array.dup ?
I have side-stepped that process now anyway, by making a new array and adding items to that...

Are you cloning the items you add?

TIG

In the format item = (""+d.to_s) where ' d' is the element taken from the array...

Reminder that obj#clone() copies the frozen state of obj, whilst obj#dup() does not.

Back on topic, the person's problems came from the fact that they changed the plugin folder's icon under Windows, which messes up permissions. I've never been able to (comfortably) fix the folder except by re-creating it, copying all it's contents over, and deleting the one the had the changed icon. (...yes even despite the "Repair" button,...)

Hi All,

dumb question maybe, how do I use the plugin store extension with a different profile/how do I change my profile? I want to log into a different account.

Rich O Brien

You can't use multiple accounts on a device.

So I'm rolling out a profile/bundle of plugins as a standard starting point for an office. I've created a Profile for the office that multiple people will be able to log into in order to get the "standard" package of plugins. If they already have a sketchucation plugin store profile is there no way to allow them to log in to the office profile? What if they re-install sketchup?

Rich O Brien

We have a corporate version that is a managed solution whereby it has its own master account and the remaining devices use its installs.

This prevents the users messing up with different bundles etc.

wahoowetzel

That makes sense, I don't have the same need for control here. I just want everyone to have the same starting point, it can evolve beyond that later. This doesn't help me with a solution if someone already has a profile, ie. "log out". Can you offer any suggestions there? Would re-installing sketchup work or no? I'm hesitant to do a test run and re-install anyone's sketchup before knowing what my options are and what may or may not even have an impact.

Rich O Brien

My memory is a woolly on the corporate/team version.

I do remember that the master users dictates the bundle to be used and anyone else logging in can only use that bundle.

I'd need to chat with Gabor about it.

But reinstalling SU is not needed.

there seems to be a glitch in the matrix, I'm still getting these banners for verson 2.5?...

red pill or blue ill neo?

Rich O Brien

looks like you need to reboot your matrix with CTRL+F5...

juju

haha, might be, except the machine I'm on I bought in January 2015 (brand new, virgin), post 1 of this thread was done Sept. 2014.

I need to add that this does not happen all the time, only from time to time that I see the banner ad for 2.5

Rich O Brien

It's got nothing to do with when you bought machine. More so i only changed the ad artwork last week.

So your browser is serving you an older file...

juju

Yep, but the browser can only serve me with what it is being directed to. If the machine had no access to this website / webpage / forum before the update, it cannot serve me with that information as it will have none of that in cache, not so? Or am I missing something?

The machine was brand new, not second hand. This has been showing up every now and again, not only now or over the last week or month.

Rich O Brien

Yes, and if your browser or our site settings are set to stored cached files then you will get those files until your browser settings are refreshed.

So what you are getting are cached images to improve page load times.

Even though the images have changed since your browser has not been told to update yet.

CTRL+F5 is a Hard refresh that forces the change in your browser.

juju

I'll do the CTRL+F5, and report back the next time I notice the banner loaded.

The point I'm trying to make is that the (my user) browser was not around (since my machine was in some warehouse possibly, in storage, all nicely wrapped up) when the newer version was released, so it could not have loaded the erroneous file (-s) into cache.

Rich O Brien

my point is that the older 2.5 ad image you see was only changed last week
