version 10 only show native sketchup plugins on my computer; components (with CLibraries_Loader.rb) or added plugins are not proposed anymore in the launchup window

Me too. I will revert to the old version until CLibraries_Loader.rb is supported again.

Solved!!
CadFather (http://sketchucation.com/forums/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=378) has provided a solution that works well for anyone using MS Windows. A program called winsize2: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winsize2/

This program works on any window not just the options window. It's great for people with laptops and second screens because it can save different configs for different resolutions.

CadFather, winsize is doing just what I want!! Thank you.

In case someone has a native SketchUp way to do this I have moved this discussion to http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=52060

Anyone out there know of a way to make the component options window taller than 760 pixels? I am trying to fill all the vertical space above the windows task bar. I have tried setting the dialog height to 1336 pixels but the window will not expand to that height. I can drag the window border to that dimension but it will snap back to 760 when the options in the window change.

I have a AOC e1649fwu second monitor in portrait mode. This would be a great setup for components with many options if I can get the component options window to stay tall.

I am really benefiting from using this plugin!! I really appreciate the work you are doing!! Thank you for sharing.

Here is an idea for a feature: can the dialog height for the component options window be overridden to use the entire height of the screen above the windows task bar?

I have searched for a way to do this and have come up empty. I would like a way to toggle the rotation handles while in the move tool. I rarely use them during my normal workflow of cabinet design and I constantly grab them by accident and rotate geometry when I intended to move it.

could you developp the idea?

You need to install this plugin:

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=36467&p=321094&hilit=mylibrary#p321041

to have access to components in the components folder in your SketchUp install directory.

Wouldn't you find the components also in the components browser? To what extent would it be different or better?

The results are in the component browser, just like all the tools / functions are in the menus and toolbars. The exciting thing, to me, about this plugin, is how much drawing space I recover from windows and toolbars. Instead of having the component window open and resizing the main SU window so they don't overlap and obscure parts of my model, I can now have the LaunchUp window open and have the whole screen for drawing. A quick shortcut key brings the LaunchUp window to focus, I type my cabinet code, down arrow and enter. Now I have my cabinet ready to insert at the cursor location. It's great!!

This plugin is great! Couple it with this plugin:

http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=36467&p=321094&hilit=mylibrary#p321041

and you can have quick access to your favorite / most used components. I am using sketchup for cabinet design and having quick access to my cabinet library is a real time saver!!

Matt666, thank you for the very handy plugin. I use this all the time and was wondering if I could make one request...

Could you add a favorites toggle? What I mean by this is allow the user to set favorite units / precision combinations they could toggle between with one click. In my case I need to toggle CM with 0.0 precision and Inches with 1/16 precision constantly. If I could set these two as favorites and have one button that would switch between only those two I would owe you!!
