[Plugin] LordOfTheToolbars - v2.9c - 20 Dec 24

fredo6

It's funny, because other users have complained that the Vignette Stripe does not follow Sketchup when the main SU window is moved to another monitor (hence the changes I made to keep the Vignette Stripe position relative to the Sketchup viewport).

I need to think a little bit to see how to accommodate all requirements.

Thanks for the prompt response.
Would it be possible for me to download an earlier version that would work?
Cheers

Talking of moving to 2nd monitor.. I'm so pleased with rosette behavior - it preserves location perfectly and no more disappearings
Hope one day palettes will be able to keep their relative location while manipulating SU viewport in precise manner as well.

What is the rosette behavior again?

Instead, I would suggest that you install LOTT V1.6b, which includes an option for setting or unsetting the stickiness of the Vignette Stripe to the Sketchup window (ON by default, so you would need to disable it in the Default Parameters).

Hey.
Great customer service.
I have updated LOTT to 6b but the problem persists. The vignette strip and the favourite pallets that I have made are stuck on the main laptop screen. I also have the problem that whenever I enter text into a dialogue box then the shortcut keys are activated. For example when I make a component with the name 'nog' as soon as I type O the Edit pallet opens up.
I have disabled all my other extensions but it makes no difference. Could this be an installation error. If delete the LOTT extension and reinstall it will I lose all my pallets and shortcuts.
Thank you for your help so far. I am really looking forward to getting this sorted as your plugin will improve my workflow.
Thanks

Mike

Did you disable the stickiness of the Vignette Stripe in the Default Parameters?

For palettes, they are sticky. So I will make an option to release stickiness for them.

Good catch. I will fix that.

Error message on install

Hey
I deleted LOTT. I reinstalled it and have attached a screenshot of the error that showed up. I continued with the install and have the same issues. I am not sure if this error has anything to do with the problems I have or not.
Thanks

Mike

Sure did, problem still persists, I can work around it by going into windows display settings and making my external screen the main screen however this seems to cause problems, mainly that if I try and open the Preferences or Model info then SU freezes?? So not really an option..

Started to look at this very rich looking extension - via SketchupEssentials video.

I have the issue of the main "palette" (Vignette stripe?) not showing up in the Sketchup main window bar - but rather at the top of the screen - See image.

I tried the setting: "Palettes are sticky to the Sketchup window" - still stays on top of screen.

Advice ?

The problem

fredo6

For clarification

Stickiness means that the palettes or Vignette Stripe follow move when the Sketchup window is moved. But you decide where to position them manually
There are separate stickiness options for the Vignette Stripe and for palettes

arnestein

I got the Vignette stripe to move with the SU window now, thanks.

However, I had do both activate the "Vignette Stripe is sticky" option and then manually move it somewhere over the Sketchup window.

If I did not move it manually somewhere over the Sketchup window, the Vignette option just stayed in one place, even when I moved the SU window.

For me, good enough !

Hi Fredo, I'm having problem trying this plugin on a M1 chipset Apple MacBook Pro.

I'm on SketchUp Pro 2021 on 16" MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Max running macOS Monterey. And LordOfTheToolbars is not running properly. All other plugins by Fredo is fine, including FredoCorner and JointPushPull. Only when SIP is disabled, LordOfTheToolbars will run without issue.

Will try to make some screenshots later.

Hi Fredo
Thank you for all the time you put into these plugins! legend!!

I've attached a little video of my problem with Palette line breaks, copying of icons and deleting them

I'd guess this is not expected behaviour? or Have i go this completely wrong....

All I'm trying to do is create a few rows of plugins, I also am attempting to move them about to suit my needs.

rv1974

@cmeed the plugin needs extra polishing. From my experience you should start a new empty file, make all the desired changes in lott toolbars and restart SU afterwards.
Trying to make changes in the middle of long editing of complex files might be too buggy.
