[Plugin] LordOfTheToolbars - v2.8a - 10 Nov 24
-
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 !@fredo6 said:

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'?

For the compact palette, I did not find a way to remove the small top frame, while keeping the window resizable. Apparently, this is Windows 10 focing this appearance.

Fredo, I guess there's some limitation inside the plugin that won't let the user to stretch a toolbar horizontally further than 150* icons (my idea is to use the display's bottom area 100% - from left to right edge) Could you extend this limitation please?
*- I don't quite understand the meaning of 'Nb of columns' in the toolbar's properties. While it set to it's possible maximum value of 20 (why?) it still allows me to have 150 icons in a row.
P.S. Double Spasebar for last command is so nice! -

Ok. The limit for a palette is width < 2000 pixels. I will extend it to 4000 px.

The number of columns (and rows) corresponds to the nominal size of the palette, which you can restore via its context menu. However, if you dimension palettes manually, you can have any size.

That explains.. I've got 2560x1440 ones -

You may have to restart Sketchup twice after installation of LOTT. The reason is that VRay installs in a special directory and arranges that its toolbars are not really accessible by program.

*)The precision of toolbar stretching (horizontally) is extremely poor, its 3-4 icons error.
It's nearly impossible to arrange icons precisely- very irritating.How many icons do you have in the row?
@rv1974 said:
*)Sometimes some icons just don't show right click menu and the icons can't be deleted. They'd disappear only after SU restart.
Do you mean that you get the cursor showing as if you were doing a drag and drop?
@rv1974 said:

True docking is not possible. When you move SU from one monitor to another, something happens which I don't understand. It might be that the API to dialog is buggy. Unfortunately, I have currently only one monitor (a laptop), so I cannot test.

Some bug hunting here:
*)The precision of longtoolbar stretching (horizontally) is extremely poor, its up to 3-4 icons error. It's nearly impossible to arrange icons precisely - very irritating. On middle size toolbars it's almost OK - only 1 icon error.
*)Sometimes some icons just don't show right click menu and the icons can't be deleted. They'd disappear only after SU restart.
*)Locked toolbars and vignette can't keep their lockedposition when SU window get relocated from monitor to monitor and back. In this regard, would it be possible to implement true docking?
Thank you -

~90. all bottom area, from edge to edge.

I mean the menu attached below. Sometimes I grag new icons to my toolbar, then decide to say delete some of them, but nothing could be done because the right click menu is gone.
P.S. Another glitch I forgot to mention: Sometimes adding a separator would put it 3 icons to the left

Should i uninstall LOTT, and then reinstall LOTT and then quite and start Sketchup twice, and then Bobs your Uncle ? thx
(Any news on the ability to make the vignette stay in position on the monitor where i want it ?) -
Great extension. I wonder if it is possible to make a custom made toolbar fly out? Would save getting in the way when you have it in the work area.

This is an amazing plugin! I have moved my workflow into using it, but as of yesterday it has been crashing my sketchup, before it can fully load, every time. See attachment - any suggestions on what might be happening here?

Which version of Sketchup are you running? If SU2021, please migrate to the latest version, because it solves issues related to menus.

OK so i realise now that there is a switch to "Exclude" vray from the options, so i turned that off and it solved my problem. Amazing ! The only thing i really would appreciate would be to have control over where the vignette appears every time i start sketchup. Currently, i have to move it from Screen 2 onto Screen 1 every time
