Hi everyone!
Sorry, I wasn't subscribed to current topic. I don't have conflicts on my computer. Try to disable all other plugins and re-enable them one by one. Yes I know it's a tedious task but I see no other way...
-
I just published 1.0.6 version. It should fix "TypeError: superclass mismatch for class StreamableStream" issue. Please upgrade if you have this issue. Then, tell me if it works.
-
A SketchUp 2021 user reported that Material Browser v1.0.6 conflicts with SketchUcation ExtensionStore. You can't enable these plugins at same time because they use the same Zip library.
I'm looking for a solution... -
1.0.7 version fixes "TypeError: superclass mismatch for class StreamableStream" issue. Material Browser plugin is now compatible with SketchUcation ExtensionStore plugin.
-
1.0.8 version fixes "special chars in material name" issue. For example: a material named "<auto>1" doesn't cause anymore a missing thumbnail.
-
Thank you for your two above, prompt actions. It’s greatly appreciated.

1.0.9 version improves user experience. You don't need anymore to reopen Material Browser UI after you've checked "Display only model materials", etc.
-
Amazing!
Thanks for letting me know you fixed the extension store issue

Something weird is going on with your extension for some users...
It's reported over at SketchUp.com
It seems to be copying/moving its zip.rb and zip folder from your ../Libraries/ subfolder into the Plugin folder.
First off it looked like SCF toolset doing this, as it has a similar Rubyzip set up, bt it seems to narrow down to you !
Ideas ??

My bad. Old versions of material_browser.rbz file include Rubyzip library at root… That’s why there’s a zip.rb file and a zip folder at root of Plugins folder. You can safely uninstall the “zip” library with native Extension Manager. Then, if you want to continue to use Material Browser plugin: upgrade it. New versions of Material Browser plugin include Rubyzip library in a proper way.

Thanks for the explanation and the fix...

Is it possible to create a custom filter? I'm doing work for a client that has unique filters for different material types. I have the material library created (over 200 materials) but would like to filter it for specifics like "wall covering", tile wall, tile floor, fabric, concrete, plastic, window film, etc.
I want to hand this to the team with the filters the other designers uses and not these defaults.
-
If I understand well, you use a custom collection of .skm files?
Today, plugin categorizes materials automatically depending on a subtype-type dictionary... For example: "D:\Textures\Floor\Red Marble 02.skm" is categorized automatically in "Stone" because of "Marble" word.
Do you think it would be more relevant if plugin categorizes materials depending on filesystem hierarchy? We could filter materials by categories with a classic tree view at left.

Next version of Material Browser plugin will support Poly Haven's PBR textures, on SketchUp 2025:
