Preparing for SmustardOrganizer script
-
I've almost finished work on a tool to help make the best use of Organizer. It will traverse your plugins and determine which files need to be located directly in the "Plugins" folder (anything that is "required" by another plugin should be either in the "Plugins" folder or the "Tools" folder).
This will solve about 99% of the problems some users have with Organizer (moving files that shouldn't be moved).
This file will be included with the Organzier download.
-
I remember the hard times to do such things manualy
-
Rick, will revised version (-s) be available for free upgrade to existing script owners or not?
-
Generally, updates are free to previous customers. We haven't really had upgrades yet, but that will be up to the author. I expect upgrades would generally have a nominal upgrade fee.
The tool I mentioned above will be part of an update, so it will be free to existing Organizer license owners.
-
Sweet, so I'll get an e-mail then notifying me just as I got an e-mail the other day asking for feedback.
-
I can do that. But the best way to stay informed is to "subscribe" - RSS and Atom feeds are available.
There are several readers and subscription managers out there (reader.google.com, http://www.bloglines.com, others), and you can get updates and news about the latest scripts delivered directly.
I've been thinking about an automatic email notifier, but haven't implemented it yet...
-
I've already got Smustard on my RSS feeds...
-
Cool! Then you're all set

Hi Rick,
I got the organizer and install many of my scripts there in different folder, it seems that many of the file did not get change but i will still look thru all of them, i already saw some that are not but they are neither in the log file.
another thing that i am getting is this message and I don't know what to do with it,"Error Loading File organizer.rb
undefined method `add_item' for nil:NilClass"thank you for your help there.

Rick, another thing my "select at startup" is not funtioning anymore i downloade the last version but it still not selecting, does it go in another place than the plugins folder?

Not all files will be edited - only those that have a menu item in the Plugins menu will be edited. They can still be put in subfolders, but will appear in their specified menu locations.
SelectAtStartup (startup.rb) should be located in the Plugins folder, not in a subfolder.
Make sure you don't have sketchup.rb, langhandler.rb, or oImage.rb in your Plugins folder.

I don't have these files in my plugings folder, they are in the "tools" folder.

Can I edit the other file manualy to have them be "organizer.rb friendly"?
if yes what do I need to change?I still don't know what is the message
"Error Loading File organizer.rb
undefined method `add_item' for nil:NilClass"
is there things I need to do, I read all the infos about how to install bout ten times, i think that i did it ok and it work for many of the rubys, I don't mind if they do not all get organized now but the message is in the way.thank you

Open the ruby console (Window>Ruby Console) and type
load "organizer.rb"
then press <enter>. If the error message displays, copy and paste it into a message - make sure to copy everything in the console. -
OK thank you, i did as you said and locate the error message, it came from a french stair ruby i removed it and now i don't get the message anymore.
this was the error line when a run ( load "organizer.rb" )
Error: #<NoMethodError: C:/Program Files/Google/Google SketchUp 6/Plugins/10 French/fr_stair_maker062.rb:210: undefined method `add_item' for nil:NilClass>haggai
here is the ruby file that i removed what shall I do to it to function

The file is missing information for creating menu items. I downloaded it from Didier's website, and it is non-functional in both the French (which you posted) and English (which I downloaded) versions.
I fixed the file (attached below), and it should now work.

Rick,thank you for looking into this for me, I put the file yuo sent to the pluggings folder and it function ( but the script in imperial and not metric ).

for my other files it seems that the first time I ran the organizer.rb it did not take everything but now I bring many of the file back to the pluggins folder run the script and put them back after. I think that it should be different but this way now I see what is happening, but for the future will I have to put my scripts first in the pluggins folder and then move them to subfolder or can I put them straight in the subfolder??
I am sorry for taking so much of your time but hopefully my questions will help others like me.

When you download new scripts, they will have to be modified to work with Organizer. The organizerEdit script only looks in the Plugins folder for scripts to edit (so that things that have been edited and organized aren't re-examined).
So download to the Plugins folder, perform the auto edit, then organize and restart Sketchup.
I didn't look too carefully at the stair script, just added the appropriate menu lines. It looks like the script has other issues, and unfortunately I don't have time right now to troubleshoot it. Sorry...

Thank you for your quick reply on that, I imagine that you are busy for the rest of the stuff i asked.
I will wait maybe someone else had the same problem.again thank you.

I put the file into a subfolder. It loaded without problems, and it works correctly. I'm not sure why you are gettting the error messages. Is the script in two folders (like Plugins AND 10 French)? Make sure there are no duplicate scripts.

Rick thank you again for this help,
so I look and I found the script was there but the english version with a different ruby name, I wanted to have a subfolder with all my french ruby because most of the time the mesurment there are metric, I am french and I work with both metric and Imperial, now i am in the US for a while and all i need to do is imperial but sometime i get some request from france and need to work in metric. Is there a way to have both sets. it seems that the problem is that both script call the same action or something like that and causes a confict somewhere. I don't know anything about ruby script really but i am willing to learn.by the way I reorganise the rest of all my script to be organiseable, now one thing i wish to have is the possibility to have all my plugings in one submenu in the context menu like the script TIG made (ContextMenuMenus.rb) he has all the menus (1,2,3,4,5,6,8) he jumped the 7 which is the pluging menu because it is different in each user.
submenu1=submenus.add_submenu("Edit...") ### adds the submenus for the items that follow
submenu2=submenus.add_submenu("View...")
submenu3=submenus.add_submenu("Camera...")
submenu4=submenus.add_submenu("Draw...")
submenu5=submenus.add_submenu("Tools...")
submenu6=submenus.add_submenu("Window...")
submenu8=submenus.add_submenu("Help...")
So i wanted to put the 7th submenu in the list. Is there a way that something can be done with organizer.rb to read all that is in the plugins folder and add them to the submenu7 in the context menu ???
this will be a big plus to your script.
untill now you have solved all my problems.
thank you for all your useful scripts[Haggai]
