Found it...

it's the RUBY_VERSION const!

cheers

Hi

I've been trying "ruby -v" in console but doesn't work (on SU2013 at least)
I can get the Sketchup version with Sketchup.version and .version_number but then I would have to know wich build use wich ruby...
I remember I could get that info in SU ruby console one time but I can't find it by googling! I just find "ruby -v".

thx

Bug posted in the GitHub Issues field!

I never did that but will learn how to.
Glad to participate...

I'm trying to save all the .visible? .caption(for lbls) and .value(for inputs) for now.

I would like to create a window where there's a "add item" on the window that add a SKUI_group on the window corresponding to the new item...
My object have only two instance variables for now, the number of items(an int) and the SKUI window.

For the non customisable plugin I could save the .visible? .caption and .value by listing them manualy in my Save method but with a customizable window it would probably be painful...

thanks for your answers
AND THANKS A LOT FOR SKUI (sorry for shouting but i really mean it)

P.S. I noticed a little bug: I have to initialise myself the .visible of each visible unmodified SKUI items before saving them because it was returning nil with the .visible? method if .visible= was never used.

Hi

Is it possible to prevent the closing of a Webdialog window (or even better with SKUI) in order to get the famous "File has not been saved: /cancel/save/quit anyway/" window.

This while quiting the webdialog window and/or while quiting SU with that window still open.

thanks

I tried to save an object containing an SKUI window object (using marshal) and had a bad type error... I suppose it's not possible to save an SKUI window with marshal due to it's limitations:

*Marshal can't dump following objects:

anonymous Class/Module.

objects which related to its system (ex: Dir, File::Stat, IO, File, Socket and so on)

an instance of MatchData, Data, Method, UnboundMethod, Proc, Thread, ThreadGroup, Continuation

objects which defines singleton methods*

I did it manualy this time but wonder if there's something similar to Marshal with what I would be able to save objects containing SKUI windows for later use.

I remeber i saw somthing with a name looking like "yalm"..
Would Pstore do it?

Many Thanks

Hi

I decided to use Marshal as I suppose I won't do better! (though it's version dependent and has some security issues)

I found some code examples modified and ran it... cool stuff. But there are two things I don't understand in the code I copied!

class MyObject 
	
	def initialize(value)  
		@value = value 
		@arr= [4,5,6]
	end  
	attr_accessor ;value, ;arr
	
	def incr
		@value=@value+1
	end
	
end  


obj=MyObject.new(99)

file_name=UI.savepanel("Save","",".oob")

File.open(file_name, 'w+') do |f|
	Marshal.dump(obj, f) 
end


File.open(file_name) do |f|  
	@obj2 = Marshal.load(f)  
end  

obj3=@obj2.clone
obj3.incr
puts obj3.value,obj3.arr

Why must I use @ or $ for my obj2?

And why the code below doesn't close the file in comparaison to the one above. Is that the "block form" advised in Dan's post? I miss the mechanics of that "do ||" statement, I tought it was just a looping tool. ---> I read this now: http://blog.rubybestpractices.com/posts/gregory/009-beautiful-blocks.html

f=File.open(file_name, 'w+')
puts f
Marshal.dump(obj, f)

#need f.close!

Thanks a lot for your answers!

Hi

I realised my own_objects and basic objects like strings are not referenced the same way!

class MyObject 
	attr_accessor ;value
	def initialize(value)  
		@value = value 
	end
end 

obj1=MyObject.new('hip')
obj2=obj1
obj2.value='hop'
puts obj1.value                     # ==> return 'hop'
puts obj1.object_id,obj2.object_id  # ==> they have the same id! (pointer?)

a='hip'
b=a
b='hop'
puts a                             # ==> return 'hip'
puts a.object_id,b.object_id       # ==> they have a different id! (reference?)

How can i know the type of object I use will automaticaly clone when a copy is modified ?
Can I force ruby to act the same with all objects (clone any copied object using = without the need to use the .clone method)?

Thanks

ako

Thank you very much!

This helped me a lot and I have ALL the infos I needed!
