      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.

            if you want to change the red to Finder off white, copy/paste this code into 'Ruby Console' and hit Return...
            it should work without needing a restart of SU...

            filename = Sketchup.find_support_file("jcb_Add_Icon/Add_icon_logic.rb", 'Plugins')
            text = File.read(filename) 
            content = text.gsub(/ FF0000 /, " e8e9e8 ")
            File.open(filename, "w") { |file| file << content }

              thanks, the red is changed.

              just want to confirm do i have to resize the window to square in order to have the thumb nail square?

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

                It may be because of Retina or system/SU language used...

                I have another way of doing it automatically, which 'batch mode' uses, but need some time to add it in and test...

                  Finally SketchUp has added it's own icons for mac with the release of v17...

                  not the same quality [imho] but it's native and I can finally stop updating this plugin....

                    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.

                      Hi driven,

                      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 !
