Hello everyone,

I have written a small plugin and designed the HTML dialogs in Modus Bootstrap, looks quite good so far and works.
Some potential users now wanted to use / test it in their "old" Skechup Make 2017 ... Unfortunately, it seems that the styles and functionalities of Modus Bootstrap are not available there.
Have you noticed similar problems and possibly a tip / fix / workaround for me?

Thank you and best regards
Frank

Hi,

for my plugin i need to read some values form the registry,

normally i used write_default and read_default,

but in this case i need to read somes values stored "by some other".

i can only read values like this: "value" quote&value&quote
i there way to read strings, numbers and others which didn't have these (")

Thanks.
Frank

ok, my mistake

i saved some values by write_default, at the start the plugin get them by read_default and in these values i had some non-utf-characters

i changed the values and now it works like before

The rb files need to be encoded in UTF-8 without BOM.

I allways encoded my files as UFT-8 without BOM, for some reason it didn't work in 2014

there is a message: invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)
for every "öäüßÖÄÜ°" (german characters)

last week i had the same problem with some other plugins.

i change the encoding to utf-8 and replaced the scrambled characters by hand to the german ones - it worked, but not now.

hi,

in the last years I built some plugins for my own.
Normally I used Notepad++.

Since I have Sketchup 2014, I can't use most of my plugins. If I try to load them an error raises:

Coutdn't load .....rb:
incompatible character encodings UTF-8 and ACSII-8 BIT.

I tried some different encodings in Notepad++, nothings worked.

Maybe some of you will give me a helping hint.
