      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...

        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...

          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...

            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...

                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...

                    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...

                    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...

                        i have to resize the sketchup window size to a square , if i want the thumb nail to be square. otherwise, my thumnails are always with red bands. the square button doesn't work.

                        also, can you change the red color to white or grey? thanks

                          Hi sketchuh,
                          are you still on SU v15 , which version of osx do you run and do you have a retina display?

                          I've been doing some more work on this, but it's not quite ready...

                          can I PM you some test files?

                              actually, when chose the batch mode, almost all other sktechup files would have square thumb nails, only one that is opened has red bands if the viewport is not square.

                                    Currently, yes, and I don't know why the 'make square' button only works for some people...

                                        I've been using your plugin for years, thank you very much, John.

                                        It's good that SketchUp can make native icon for mac (again) now but I still prefer yours, which has larger resolution. And I think that 'file' frame in the icons SketchUp produce is useless and screen-landscape-consuming.

                                          This plug-in is not working on macOS 10.15 Catalina. Is there a chance that you would like to make a fix? 😄 😄

                                            The latest MAC OS 'Catalina' does not support ANY current SketchUp version.
                                            I know that SketchUp is working hard to release a new compatible update for version 2019 asap.
                                            BUT no earlier versions will ever be made fully compatible.
                                            Some might work, so will not - depending on how you use SketchUp etc.

                                            So having an old Plugin updated seems to be the least of your worries !
