Some bugs:
(*) Icons get lost when pulling toolbar edge inwards:

It seems you have a Line-break between the icons of

the LOTT Favorite Manager (with a red heart)
and the first icon of JointPushPull.
Just right-click on one of the icons and select "Remove line-break before (or after).
Icons are not lost. Mouse wheel will make them show.

exactly! thanks a ton.

@jdgarvin,

I don't have Big Sur on my Mac, and this works fine in Catalina on my laptop MacBook Pro.

Could you more explicit on the drag & drop 'disabled'. Where are you dragging from and to which target.

For multi-screen, could you open the Ruby console and type (or copy/paste) the following command:

G6.monitor_print

PedroE

Problems with the reaction of the popup windows through shortcuts, it seems that the focus of the main sketchup window is lost, then by selecting the main sketchup window with the left click it reacts again normally.

jdgarvin

Here is the output from the > G6.monitor_print command:

Monitor 1: [0, 0, 1650, 1025] - [0, 0, 1650, 1050]
Monitor 2: [0, 1050, 1600, 875] - [0, 1050, 1600, 900]
UI Scale factor: 1.0
Virtual Screen: [1650, 1950]

MacBook Pro 16" 2019, 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 32 GB RAM, Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB.

When I go full screen, the status text bar at the bottom disappears.

This should be fixed in the latest version of LOTT.

To make the status text bar reappear

Open the Ruby Console
type (or copy/paste) the following command: Sketchup.send_action 59393 and press Enter

Great plugin. Only trouble i have is that it never remembers the location of the toolbar. Every time i open sketchup i have to move the toolbar to the location that i want.
Also, it does not seem to recognise Vray.

What do you mean by 'toolbar'?

favorite palette?
Sketchup regular toolbar?

For VRay, which version do you have?

At some point I closed the command stripe at the top of the page and I can't seem to get it back. I've updated LibFredo, unloaded and reloaded the extension, clicked all the buttons, etc.

In addition, when I click the quick command finder button it's not doing anything.

I'm on LibFredo 11.9C. I'm sure this is something simple that I'm missing

Thanks so much for your work on this!

Justin,

Normally, the only way to discard the Vignette Stripe is to use the menu LordOfTheToolbars > Toggle Visibility of the Vignette Stripe, which is also a way to restore it. Is it what you did?

If ever it is off-screen, use menu LordOfTheToolbars > Reset Vignette Stripe Position.

For the Command Finder, it could also be off-screen or there is a bug.

I suggest you keep the Ruby console opened to see if there are errors showing.

Regarding this Vignette Stripe.. it causes lot of troubles - it tends to get lost (because I sporadically drag SU windows from one monitor to another and use the switch to jump to another PC with the same monitors). Recovering from preferences file and Show Vignette Stripe command don't help. Luckily LordOfTheToolbars > Reset Vignette Stripe Position works, but its not ideal solution.

When you move the Sketchup window, do you see the Vignette Stripe and the palettes moving along the Sketchup window?

rv1974

I'll check later, currently machines are busy with tons of renderings.

Perfect! This is what I needed.

I was looking for the menu in the wrong place - I suspected some sort of user error

Thanks!

So...sorry to bug you again. Whenever I click the quick command finder button in the vignette stripe, nothing happens on the page. In the ruby console I get the following error.

I'm currently running LibFredo 11.9c and LordofTheToolbars 1.4d.

If I click the quick command finder in the toolbar on the screen, I get this error and it hides the vignette stripe

@Justin,

Looks like there a plugin with an exotic menu entry (Chinese or so) and this is creating an error.

I'll see if I can either solve the problem or protect the code against this type of error.

Well it appears that LOTT hates when SU window is dragged from one monitor to another.
*) The Vignette Palette (VP) completely disappears. 'Toggle VP visibility' and reset VP position' commands sometimes help sometimes don't. Pop up VP command works consistently well. Typically restarting SU restores UI order, but its kind of so-so solution.
*) If I have some lockedfavorite toolbar(s) and VP logically I'd expect them to be moved with SU window (=glued), now it's not happening.
*) the location of locked toolbars is messed when SU window come back to it's original place.

rv1974

Another observation (in complex files): opened command search (CS) window causes micro lags in navigation and triple click (to select connected edges) work inconsistently. Everything gets back to normal after CS is closed.

Hello - I was referring to the vignette bar (pic attached / didnt realise what it was called before . I am trying to keep this above the main toolbar space so it doesnt take up any screen space. BUT, every time i launch sketchup i have to move it back to where i want it. Is there a way to make this stay in position ? For VRAY, i am using 5.10.06. It does'nt make any difference where i position it on the screen, it always reverts back to the same place on my second monitor (which is not where i need it). I tried the option to lock it in position, but it makes no difference in my case.
thanks for looking into it !
