    • RE: [Plugin] Ruby Toolbar

      Hi Jim,

      @unknownuser said:

      would you mind sharing the minor tweaks

      I'm afraid it would be useless because I simply replaced all the calls to "Ruby Console" by "Console Ruby", but that's only for french. Each version of SU does have a particular name for the Ruby Console, so... Even a call to langhandler.rb (with 'getstring') will not work since this deals with a window name, not a message string or such. 😞

      Regards,

      Everything's OK with the french version now, including toggle
      Only minor tweaks were necessary 😆

    • RE: [Plugin] Ruby Toolbar

      Hi Jim,
      Thanks for the update: icons are there now 😄

      Show/Hide console doesn't work 😕 (not very important)
      Clear console only moves the text in the console 1 line up 8O

      The title of the Ruby console window in french is "Console Ruby". This could cause the problem...
      But the most important command "Reload script" works OK since the first version 😛

      Thanks again for this very useful tool,
      Regards,

    • RE: [Plugin] Ruby Toolbar

      Jim,
      I'm having the "blank icons syndrom" (all png's are in Plugins folder)
      The line that seems to cause the problem is:

      imgdir = File.join(File.dirname(FILE), File.basename(FILE, ".rb"))

      It returns: ./(eval)
      then the icon file location File.join(imgdir, "rubypanel.png") returns: ./(eval)/rubypanel.png

      Please help !

      The 'toggle' method doesn't work also. 😠 At least in V5.
      Question: Is findWindow.call(0,"Ruby Console") rely on language settings of SU ? I mean is "Ruby Console" available just for english versions of SU ? In this case the win32api call will not work with other platforms.

      P.S.:

      UI.openURL("c;\\program files\\google\\google sketchup 6\\plugins")
      

      A non hard-coded command would be handy. Why not get this path from the registry ? Or something like:

      su_ver = Sketchup.version.split(".")[0].to_i
      if su_ver < 6
      devdir = File.dirname(Sketchup.find_support_file("sketchup.exe")) + "\Plugins"
      else
      devdir = ...
      end

      This makes the command compatible for SU5 and 6 (I guess), no matter where the user has installed SU.

    • RE: [Plugin] menu loader: old thing !

      Boofredlay,
      Did you notice that the load is searching for a "Scripts" folder ?
      Do you have the rb's in the "Scripts" folder under "Plugins"?
      This have been made to keep things clean. 😄

    • RE: Pantone colors library

      Hi todamgood4U,
      Yes I got them.
      As soon as I've debugged an ACO C++ reader that converts swatches files to hexa colors, I'll be able to generate the library (I can read the colors by now, but there's a bug to read their names).
      Regards,

    • RE: Pantone colors library

      Thanks Mike,
      I knew that site, that's where I've found interesting conversion formulas, but browsing the links page, I've discovered treasures about colors. I'm thincking of a Munsell colors generator. Don't know if it will be useful for much people but that's for fun too 😉

      For Sherwin-W, go here: http://www.sketchucation.com/scf/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2498
      For Kelly Moore, I cannot find any numeric data about their colors 😞
      If someone knows where to find them (no matter the file format), please post the link.

    • Pantone colors library

      Hi all,
      Following RAL and SW colors, I've built (with a ruby script) the Pantone library.
      The colors were given in CMYK mode (and then most accurately translated to rgb mode) in a huge txt file extracted from a french free color program that you can find here:
      http://pourpre.com/colorbox/index.php
      Create a folder "Pantone" under your "Materials" folder and unzip the 3 archives there.
      This makes a total of 1089 materials 😉
      Hope this is useful, 😛
