[Plugin] Add Icons [for all SU files on mac]

greatoe

For the latest version 1.0.2, I noticed that a solid white colour is added to the backgound of the icon, and if my SketchUp window is not square, red bars will be added to the top and bottom, or left and right of the icon.

The "set window to square" button/function seems not working, I'm on SketchUp 2015 and OS X 10.10.3.

I was using an early version of your script, and was pleased with it while it generates icons with transparent background.

When I wanted to generate an icon, I use a window management tool (named Window Tidy) to set my SketchUp window to nearly (but not exactly) square to have the best icon result.

May I ask for the transparent background back, and get rid of the red bars?

The old version I use was running good, but I do like the batch function of adding icons to Layout files and skm file.

hi

I added the 'Red' banding so you can quickly see that a 'better' icon is available by using 'Make Square',

I am looking at adding some user preferences that will let you set the band color to any or transparent...

but first, get 'Set Square' working is quite critical...

It may be a locale issue, do you use 'en-US' for SU or other...

if you could run a couple of test's in 'Ruby Console' we can try and work out the issue...
use 'Select All' >> Copy >> Paste in 'Rudy Console' >> hit 'Enter/Return'

    class  Change

    @plist = (ENV["XPC_SERVICE_NAME"]).split('.')[0..-2].join('.')

this should return your machines version of this...
"en-US" "com.sketchup.SketchUp.2015" "189 651 977 526 0 0 1920 1177 " "{{37, 608}, {977, 569}}" [977, 473] "iso-a4"
and hopefully show me what's going wrong...
if you can paste that info back here, that a start...

I'm working on batch mode at the moment as there are issues with versions other than v2015...

hi john,

here's the result:

"en-US"
"com.sketchup.SketchUp.2015"
"73 40 1810 1137 0 0 1920 1177 "
"{{73, 4}, {1810, 1173}}"
[3620, 2124]
nil

ps. I'm on a 15" retina display macbook pro.

driven

cheers,

I think I see the issue, SU shows the 'retina' values but system shows 'traditional' sizes...
in yours this two double...
"{{73, 4}, {1810, 1173}}"
[3620, 2124]
on mine it stays the same...
"189 651 977 526 0 0 1920 1177 "
"{{37, 608}, {977, 569}}"
[977, 473]

I need to add a check for retina, and will post a test file...

up arrow >> return again
the new blank SketchUp window go square;

up arrow >> return again
the new blank SketchUp window revert its size, but goes to a new position on screen;

I kept doing this, results are same: the new blank SketchUp window do go square and revert, but the position on screen is changing.

greatoe

I draw something in the new blank SketchUp window, save the file.
the "square - revert with different position" circle goes on.
I close SketchUp, open it again (with and without an existing file), I do 1) and 2), the result is same as 3).

greatoe

I pasted the code, hit return
ruby console return "True";
JcB::SetWindowSize::Change.set_2_square, return
ruby console return "True";
and SketchUp ask me if I want to save my current work;
I click "yes"
ruby console return the following:
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method attribute_dictionary' for nil:NilClass> /Users/zz/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/jbb_layers_panel/rb/observers.rb:189:in onContentsModified'

if I click "no"
ruby console return:
Error: #<TypeError: reference to deleted Attribute>
/Users/zz/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/jbb_layers_panel/rb/observers.rb:203:in each' /Users/zz/Library/Application Support/SketchUp 2015/SketchUp/Plugins/jbb_layers_panel/rb/observers.rb:203:in block in onContentsModified'
SketchUp:1:in `call'

then the window of my current work is closed, while SketchUp is still running;

then I click the SketchUp icon on the Dock, a blank/new SketchUp window pops up, which is square.

I press up arrow in ruby console then return
the new SketchUp window revert to previous size, but a little different with its position on screen.

cheers for that comprehensive testing,

Is that the latest version of jbb_layers_panel that's causing the errors?

for some reason it's observers are being triggered by closing and re-opening the SU window...

If you temporarily disable it does this code run without issue?

In Preferences, do you have 'new windows' set to 'cascade'?

If so does after deselecting that does the top corner still move?

I do have a completely different 'new' way of changing the window width, but that also needs more testing...

john

greatoe

the latest version 1.0.2 and a previous version work same;
how to temporarily disable the observers?

yes 'new windows' are set to 'cascade', deselecting this solved the window moving problem

I was meaning the version of 'layer panels' it's throwing those errors, if you disable it then it's observers shouldn't run...

@unknownuser said:

I can turn that on and off in code so I'll add it in...

I'd forgotten that dave had that problem on another version...

greatoe

sorry I didn't read your words carefully.

I removed jbb_layers_panel, no more error message in ruby console.

however the close/open window issue remains:
I paste the code and return
JcB::SetWindowSize::Change.set_2_square and return
SketchUp ask if I want to save my file
no matter yes or no the window is closed
I manually re-open the window, continue with up arrow return, window transform forward and backward works fine afterwards.

I've been adding a catch for that as well, so it waits for you to save...

got it working for 'Unsaved' just need to add some code for modified ones as well...

john

driven

here's a test version that hopefully deals with the retina and other v15 issues...

set_square and set_printer should both deal with unsaved models or changes, but you then need to re-select the option...
EDIT: removed test file
PM me if you can do any testing and I'll send you a rbz...

luxurious way to add icons…nice one!

however, the batch command doesnt work for me…i get the loading image, but this process continues forever. Where looks your plugin for, example, "*.skp" files?
Else, thanks!

oh, i forget : im on Mac 10.7.5, and use Su13 make

this is down to me not using v2013 anymore, and not having the time to go back in time to fix it...
@unknownuser said:

In batch mode, it should open a 'Finder' window that lets you look anywhere you want, it is best to target small collections, i.e. if I target 'Downloads' it will try process the 206 files without icons and if any are corrupt files it can crash SU, but I have also done folders with 500+ skps that I've created without any issues...
@unknownuser said:

oh, i forget : im on Mac 10.7.5, and use Su13 make

that is probably the issue, the single mode should work for any SU version, and some people can run batch mode in earlier versions, so it hard to figure out the problem...

I'll try to find some time to revisit...
