I just saw a post on the SketchUp Forms that a new version (4.2.5) of the SketchuCation Extension Store extension has been released, and I see on these forums that the release notes for v4.2.5 mention a fix for macOS Mojave (which I use). So I removed v4.2.3 that I had, restarted SketchUp, installed v4.2.5, and now the License... function works successfully in the various Fredo extensions that I have installed (macOS 10.14.6, SketchUp 2018).

Any thoughts on the load error traceback that I posted a few replies above?

RE: [Plugin][$] JointPushPull Interactive - v4.8a - 30 Mar 24
Can anyone suggest how to avoid the following Ruby error that occurs when trying to activate Joint Push Pull Interactive 4.4e (with Libfredo6 12.5a, on macOS 10.14.6 with SketchUp Pro 2018)? I get a similar error when trying to invoke other Fredo6 extensions.

I can bring up the Extension Store UI and do various things, but downloading an extension fails (ZIP error). I have been in communication with TIG about that, but it remains unresolved.
I did successfully use Joint Push Pull Interactive a couple of weeks ago, I think before March 1 2022 when Fredo's licensing rules were changed. I have a license file for all of Fredo's extensions, but I cannot install any of the licenses due to similar Ruby errors when activating the License functions in Fredo's extensions (and possibly the sketchuCation Extension Store extension problems).

RE: [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24
The Extension Store plugin doesn't work for me (I only tried it for the very first time a week or so ago). I have SketchuCation Extension Store v4.2.3 which is apparently the latest. I have been in contact with TIG about the unzip errors that I'm experiencing, so far unresolved. Therefore, I'm downloading the SketchuCation-hosted plugin RBZ files and then using the native SKetchUp Extension Manager window to install SketchuCation-hosted extensions.
Just now I updated LibFredo6 from 12.4a to 12.5a, but the didn't help to make RoundCorner work (see traceback below).
I tried bringing up the FredoCorner UI (even though the license dialog can't be displayed due to the error listed earlier), and the UI does appear. Yay. Maybe in 30 days the FredoCorner UI will shut itself off and then the inability to enter a license would be a killer, but for the next month I suppose I'm in business with FredoCorner instead of RoundCorner.
Here is the traceback when trying to do much of anything with RoundCorner (with SKetchUp 2018, macOS 12.4.6):

RE: [Plugin][$] FredoCorner - v2.7a - 31 Mar 24

SketchUp:1:in `call'SketchUp Pro 2018 on a Mac running 10.14.6. I installed FredoCorner v2.5a by downloading the RBZ from SketchuCation, and then I used the SKetchUp Extension Manager to install it. Then I restarted SketchUp. (The SketchUcation Extension Store extension doesn't work for me, it fails to unzip anything I try.)
By the way, I have used RoundCorner For a number of years and love it. Today I tried to use it and nothing happens, no UI. The Ruby Console window shows license-type errors. Fredo posted a topic on the SketchUp forum recently saying that a number of his formerly-free extensions would soon become paid extensions, today being the cut-over day as I recall. So seeing the RoundCorner license error today was not a total surprise, and I'm willing to switch to FredoCorner. But sadly FredoCorner doesn't seem to allow me to enter a license.

RE: [Plugin Beta] Animator - v4.0a - 02 Apr 24
Animator v2.7a downloaded, installed, and started up fine - thank you for the quick turn-around!

RE: [Plugin Beta] Animator - v4.0a - 02 Apr 24
Animator v2.6c is telling me that it has expired, but there does not seem to be a newer version available yet. Any estimate on when a new version (or a re-release of v2.6c with an extended expiration date) might be available?

RE: [Plugin Beta] Animator - v4.0a - 02 Apr 24
Is there a way to control the thickness or weight of edges (lines) as they appear in the exported movie frames (MP4, etc.)? I am using SketchUp Pro 2018 with Animator v2.6c. I noticed that edges are rendered with thicker lines in Animator's frames than they are when I use SketchUp Pro 2018's native Export > Animation function.
In a video editor, I would like to seamlessly transition from a native animation exported clip to an Animator-exported clip, but there is a clear visual discontinuity between the line thicknesses of the two clips at the transition point. Attached is a still picture with a native animation-export on the left and an Animator-export on the right. The boundary is a bit subtle side-by-side, but it is a quite evident "pop" when viewing a video that abruptly jumps from the thinner to the thicker line weight.

RE: MSPhysics 1.0.3 (16 October 2017)
I recently completed a detailed (nearly 18 minutes long) video animation that includes two sequences created with MSPhysics - the first at 8:00 into the video, the second at 14:00. The subject of the video is a description of some real space hardware, the surface sampler or "scoop" from the Viking '75 Mars lander of 40 years ago.
The first MSPhysics sequence uses about 250 short thin strips to represent a flexible cable winding and unwinding. The second sequence contains about 5500 little marbles to represent soil particles being dug by the Viking lander's sampler backhoe or shovel. (The remainder of the animations were created with the Animator beta extension.)
Thank you for such a nice MSPhysics extension, Anton!

RE: Animator: Parametric Animation plugin - Discussion
I have just completed a detailed video animation (nearly 18 minutes long) that uses Fredo's Animator extension extensively. The video describes the design and operation of some real spacecraft hardware - the Surface Sampler Acquisition Assembly or "scoop" from NASA's Viking '75 Mars lander. The scoop was used to pick up small samples of Mars soil and deposit it into lander science instruments for analysis. The video also uses Anton Synystia's MSPhysics extension in two places.
Thank you Fredo and Anton for making such great extensions to SketchUp.
