Hello

Just post a plugins that solve push/pull issue (and maybe some other). It was a bug not so easy to find...

Oxer, I will post you a special version that tries to add scrollbar on Safari. About translation, could you tell me exactly an example of a translation not working ? I change in version 1.12.4 the option translation text to the English to avoid wrong coding because of new option texts structure.

Version 1.12.4 :
Corrected : Issue when using push/pull tool in a component.
Optimized : Simplified attribute date change in model to open only one time for each component.

ok guys.
Last version should solve some of your issues.

Oxer, for the issue of option for selecting components....very strange, everything work perfect on my PC. Is it not working with groups ? (I didn't implemented this function for groups. I should include it).
Same remarks with Group filter. I tried successfully lot of model.
For your point 3, this error involve also JSQL issues, then this version should solved everything.
JQL please try again your undo issue, on my it works.

Oxer, is this version solve the scrollbar issue in option window ?

We keep in touch.

4 - There is a feature that is not working as I would expect too. If one refreshes the list by whatever reason it collapses (some commands also refresh it). You loose the context on the list you were on. Of course it's easy now to choose from model so this is just a minor question.
JQL

Except this request, I think I've complete all the other request.
But don't worry I have one idea for this request, even if I think that at the end using list in a non-tree style is easier to use.

Other steps for plugin optimization would be :

• Add possibility to auto-update the list when change the model with defining the update time (from 1 sec for small model, too minutes for big one) I could link this frequency to the time required to update the list : frequency auto-defined !
• Add possibility to attached current time as modification time for component in model. This could be usefull for old model designed before having the plugin, or designed while plugin was desactivated.
• change Option interface (options are mixed, and design just horrorful !)
• change actions button at bottom of main window. Or allow user to defined which button he wants to have.
  If you have other request...they will be welcomed.

If few days I will open a new topic to find some beta tester for an industrial 6 axis robot manager plugin. This will be the second plugin I'll officially release even if they are months I'm working on.

So if you have other requests it's time, even if I won't let you down !

Hello Gents,

Please download last version of the plugins which solve the 2 issues you raised me :

Version 1.11.3:
Optimized : The modification of components don't add lots of undo/redo action in Edit menu.
Corrected : Bug when changing filters

Oxer, could you tell me also if the last version solve your issue about button title translation in main window ?

JQL, thx for chasing me on the undo/redo action, actually it was just simple as reading the sketchup rubi api...
Just one thing : for example if you delete an edge linked to a face, so edge and face are deleted, when undo the action, the component manager will tells you that your component has been modified (even if it actually reverse back to original design).
It's not a big bug, but I'll keep thinking about a solution.

@oxer said:

The list continues empty
I'll test the other functions

Could be due to the browser I use which is IE.
Please try to open attached file by placing it in plugins folder, in HTML subfolder. And tells me what happen.
It's just a simplifyed list to see any error that your brownser may show.

If you see something like a list, try to open directly the treeview.html file.

Please report me any error...because without list...it's just not so useful...

I maybe need an html/javascript specialist...

The test file

@oxer said:

2. If you push Reload All Components button, it appears an error in Ruby Console, see the image 2.

Please try version 1.9.6 below, which should solve this issue.

@oxer said:

1. The list is empty, when you push Update List button, nothing happens, no error in Ruby Console.

That's strange...maybe a javascript error...let's try with version 1.9.6, it may solve the issue.

Version 1.9.6

@tig said:

This is set from a series of ' if/elsif' tests, BUT ill-advisedly there is no 'fall-back' ' else' when nothing matches the other tests - so then it can return ' nil', and thereby cause the error - because a ' nil' object can't be used as part of a text string!

This could be due to a missing tranlsation in string (a string not defined in one language). Therefore, I change the way of working on Localisation.rb :
1-I load all strings in English
2-I load the strings in the wanted language.
This means that if a string is not translated, the string will be defined with English value.

The key thing, for me, is to always have strings defined in English, at minimal.

Version 1.9.5 :
Corrected : When saving all definitions, it asks now to save also file without link.
Optimzed : Now, for revision management, file with letter after revision level and accepted "toto rev 3 (super").skp"

Oxer, any feedback as a MAC user ?

I will officially post this version tomorrow if no bugs are found.

In parrallel I will look for JQL request but won't post new version (I think too much version make confusion...)

Hello,

Thank you TIG for your help.
Your code is so much simple than mine...I changed to yours.

New version (1.9.4) solve only this error.

@oxer said:

Thanks for the update but it appears the same message in Ruby Console:

Hello Oxer,

could you please post the complete error message ? To which line produce this bug ?
thank you !

Hello,

As every day, just post an update, with following corrections :
Corrected : When clicking on component in model, the information were not displayed.
Corrected : Revision system now working
Corrected : Bug when clicking on a group in the model (doesn't block user)
Corrected : Attempt to solve Mac file issue
Added : Spanish language, thanks to Oxer

JQL, this solve points 2 and 3. For your point 1, note that Sketchup force the file to be a ".skp" when saving component...No way to solve this...
About point 4 : it could be complex...I will try (I stack this with the filters for the list ;o)

Oxer : thank yoiu for translation !
About your issue on Mac, I make a correction that may solve your issue. I saw that the "/" and "" were different on your message. as windows reconize both, I force the string to be with "/". I guess it solve the problem...Please keep me informed !

Note also that I release the first help file (at least !!!). Hope you will love it !!!

bye !

Hello JQL,

Just post a new version that correct all bugs you had.

Updates are :
Corrected : When clicking on model to component within groups, component was not shown
Corrected : When selecting multiple item in the list make all the list outlined
Corrected : Components without extension are now managed ok.
Optimized : Click on a group in the model then group is also outlined in list.
Optimized : Reduce Javascript code in HTML page
Added : Link to forum page in about screen

Could you please check that files without extension ("c:/tatata/toto") are working properly ?

About revision management, this is how it work.
Imagine a model (A.skp) with component ("toto") saved on hard drive or wherever.
Imagine that each time you make a modification to the component, you want to keep history of the file, so you save it with a revision level (for example "rev...")
So in your folder, you may have files like :

• toto.skp
• toto rev 1.skp
• toto rev 2.skp
• toto rev3.skp
• toto rev4.skp

And when you open your model (A.skp), you want to upload the latest revision of "toto" component, so "toto rev4.skp".

Then, you just have to choose option "Use revision level system" and the plugin will upload only the last revision !

When saving (by right-cliking on the component in the list...not using save all components...sorry, I have to add this function too), it asks you if you want to create a new revision, ie "toto rev5.skp".

The text to define revision level can be choosen in options menus.
Pay attention to a following rules :

1. spaces are important : if revision text is " rev" (with a space before), "totorev1.skp" is not the revision 1...
2. revision level can be float number, but better to use rounded number (because "rev 1.3" will new newer than "rev 1.11", as 1.3>1.11)
3. nothing after revision : "rev 1 (super)" won't works.
4. on file, if you put letter instead of figure ("rev A") it may crash...
