[Plugin] LordOfTheToolbars - v2.8a - 10 Nov 24

AISmebel

Could you display the Vignette Stripe? (go to menu Tools > Fredo6 Collection > LordOfTheToolbars > Toggle Visibility of the Vignette Stripe)

Hello. The plugin itself works correctly. It just doesn't load icons.
Yesterday I installed SketchUp 2022. I installed fresh LordOfTheToolbars for it. Problem still exists. So it's not in the plugin itself and not in SU. Maybe the problem is on my PC. Could this happen?

You seem to have 2 problems

The Vignette Stripe does not display
The custom toolbars are not showing at startup, but later on

I don't have an explanation for that. I will probably need to send you a special version with traces to find out what is the problem.

In the meantime, could you

Open the Ruby console
Close Sketchup with the Ruby console opened
restart Sketchup
Check if some errors appear in the Ruby console

"Add help menu!"
"create new"
"created"
#Sketchup::Menu:0x0000023c232015f0

This inscription appeared a minute after the launch of SU. And after I opened the console on my own.
Ruby console didn't open automatically!

Is this something happening only in SU2022.?

The problem first appeared on SU 2020. A week later I installed SU 2022. And migrated all the plugins to SU 2022, uninstalled LordOfTheToolbars and reinstalled it with the latest version of the plugin. SU 2022 and SU 2020 have the same problem.

I sent you a modified version of LOTT by Private message. This version includes traces at startup, so that I can find out what is going on.

Somehow I completely missed the the feature of custom toolbars (I thought the palettes were the only option for icons).. Anyway I built a custom toolbar of 50 icons and experienced very long loading times (approx 1+ sec for icon) - so it took 1 minute to load this toolbar.
Palettes loading times are much better.

You're right. Long loading panels are a little annoying)))
But this version of the panels suits me better.

This is a known problem in Sketchup, which has already been logged to Trimble. Displaying a custom toolbar outside of the startup sequence takes long on Windows. I have the same issue on my laptop. There is no workaround currently.

Hello. Forgive me for torturing you, but in addition to the old error, I found another new error. I can't press the "menu" button. Can't create new icons and can't edit old ones((

This UTF8 error is puzzling.

I don't know if it is related to your Cyrillic environment.

Also, which version of Windows do you run?

What was your environment 'before' when it worked?

Fredo if you already implemented double space-bar for Repeat last.. Is it theoretically possible to implement 2-letter shortcuts via plugin (LOTT)?
Like in Revit, for example PB for Profile Builder? I always wanted this feature in SU

Exactly the same. Didn't do Windows updates.
Again, everything stopped working after a bug in SketchUp.
I will continue to use your plugin anyway

I don’t remember what error caused SketchUp to close. But that was in SU 2020. Then I installed SU 2022 and your plugin still doesn't work

Would you mind to do a Repair of SU2022 to see if this fixes the problem.
Same for SU2020 if you still have it on your computer.

Does your plugin share a file that is referenced by SU 2020 and SU 2022?
Maybe a settings file? Or something in the registry? Perhaps there was an error and this file needs to be updated.
SU 2022 has already done recovery. It didn't help me.
