How did you install its RBZ ?
If you installed it using Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension... then everything should be in the correct locations and load properly.
If files are misplaced you might well get something starting up unexpectedly.
The dialog should only ever open when you click on the tool's Toolbar or the equivalent submenu item...The ExtensionStore³ comes in the RBZ with the 'loader' RB named '
SketchUcation.rb
' and a subfolder named 'SketchUcation
' - containing several other files and subfolders of files.
The attached image shows what that subfolder's contents should look like...If any of those files are 'loose' within your Plugins folder you are likely to have weirdness...
Remove them all...
Perhaps you inadvertently copied things from an earlier SketchUp ?
It's probably safest to remove the SketchUcation subfolder and RB and reinstall from scratch...For the avoidance of doubt, your Plugins folder is here...
C:\Users\YOUR_WINDOWS_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2016\SketchUp\Plugins
That's the way I installed it, but just in case something messed up I removed all other extensions through the manager, closed SU2016, went to the plugins folder and deleted the sketchUcation one & made sure there were no extraneous files left behind, then restarted the laptop, redownloaded v3.0.1 of the sketchUcation extension, opened SU2016 & installed the extension via Preferences > Extensions > Install Extension and then closed & restarted SU2016 again.
The first thing that popped up was the ExtensionStore window and it's still behaving badly as before, opening every time SU2016 is launched, every time I go to File > New and when I open an existing file from any folder without SU2016 already running. This is with & without any other extensions installed, enabled or disabled, so something is borked somewhere for sure, I just don't know where.
Is there one of the extension's .rb scripts I can modify to comment out the bit that opens the ExtensionStore window? I'm not going to browse & download stuff from there anyway (I' rather do that in a full web-browser window) so if I can just nuke that bit of code then that'll suit me just fine.
