[Plugin] LordOfTheToolbars - v4.0a - 22 Sep 26

[nicolasberthier]

Hi Fredo. This critical compatibility issue has been documented for several months. It entirely blocks the workflow between LOTT and D5 Render for all users. An urgent patch is required to restore basic functionality. Please prioritize this fix.

[fredo6]

Can you try LordOfTheToolbars v3.0b, just published.

I don't have D5 installed and I don't really understand why it creates problems with LOTT.

[nicolasberthier]

Thank you but this fix still doesn't work. You can have D5 for free at https://www.d5render.com/download

To understand and reproduce the issue:

1. Install the free D5 LiveSync plugin for SketchUp.
2. It generates a folder named d5_converter inside the SketchUp Plugins directory.
3. Start SketchUp.
4. LOTT scans the Plugins directory, encounters the d5_converter folder, and attempts to open it as a file.
5. This triggers the fatal Errno::EISDIR exception in lordofthetoolbarsmanager.rbe (ghost_command_register).

The script requires a bypass condition (e.g., next if File.directory?(path)) when reading the plugin directory contents.

• D5 LiveSync for SketchUp : https://www.d5render.com/livesync/sketchup

Can you try with LOTT v3.0c.

[nicolasberthier]

@fredo6 Thank you, the fix works perfectly.

Regarding future development, LOTT requires two long-overdue updates to maintain full compatibility with the current workflow:

1. Integration of new native tools: Several recent SketchUp tools are currently missing from the LOTT catalog and must be added.
2. Iconography update: The UI icons need to be refreshed to align with the current SketchUp environment.

Again, thank you!

Hello @fredo6
I am using SU 2026 26.2.243 64-bit on Windows 10 Pro with LOTT 3.0c
I am trying to create a Personal Command for a Menu item, but when I start this process, no choices display in the Menu section of the window. Even when I try to search for a menu item, no choices display. The Menu portion of the window is blank.
Is this a known bug?

[fredo6]

Menus Commands are no longer available on Windows since SU2023. This is due to a change of UI framewrok (Qt) in Sketchup.

@fredo6 you have had to repeat this numerous times in this thread but since new responders don't seem to read it, perhaps they would see it if you put it in the first few lines of the original post?

FOLLOWING PROBLEM IS NOW SOLVED

▼ ▼ ▼

Hello @fredo6,
I'm using your plugin for several months and It is useful tool. Thank you.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem as of today. It doesn't load as it used to.

There is no Vignette Stripe and instead I have this:

According to the Extension Manager, it seems good:

But there's a new !LordOfTheToolbars_seed that seems to have appeared and appears to have a problem:

I use Sketchup 2024, with LordOfTheToolbars_v2.9c and LibFredo6_v15.2a.
Since, I tried to fix the problem, uninstalling the plugins and replacing them by the last versions, LordOfTheToolbars_v3.0c and LibFredo6_v16.0b.
And my Loading Policy is set on Unrestricted since forever.
The problem remains.

May I ask for your help, please?

EDIT: I installed SketchUp 2026 with all plugins and the problem remains

EDIT #2: I updated LibFredo6 with version: 16.1a. Problem is now solved. Thank you
