Yes. But on a Mac, use Activity Monitor and click "Sample" to see this.

FYI: two other threads on send_action() Sketchup.send_action() : Arguments to Sketchup.send_action arguments: Mac vs PC I have begun a reference spreadsheet (in ods format) on the many actions (many not documented elsewhere,) but it is not fully complete.

OK I understand ... Visual Basic: CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.NumberDecimalSeparator

If you read the code it never said that. It said: self.delete_folder(File.join(File.dirname(File.dirname(__FILE__)), 'K2WS'))Assuming that the rb doing the deletion is in the K2WS_Comp2LayerScene_ext subfolder. The path finds the dirname of its folder and then the dirname of that folder's folder - which should typically be Plugins...

@jim said: This code opens a Windows Exlorer window with the given file selected. Is there a Mac equivalent? [image: dBQr_2012-09-1112.45.06pm.png] Tig's code does open the file in 'Finder' and highlights the file title > file=("/Some/Folder/MyFile.rb") UI.openURL('file:///' + File.dirname(file)) true Like this it 'opens' in the associated program for that type of file. i.e. TextWrangler opens ruby files on my system. > file=("/Some/Folder/MyFile.rb") UI.openURL('file:///' + (file)) true This will also open in 'Finder' > file = './Some/Folder/MyFile.rb' system("open -R #{file}") true note: returns true/false > file = './Some/Folder/MyFile.rb' system %(open -R #{file}) true note: also returns true/false shorthand works as well >open -R './Some/Folder/MyFile.rb'`` note: NO return of true/false Without the -R recursive flag it will 'open' in the associated app Again, it can be with or without the return, dependant on the call syntax. john

We don't currently put any time into testing every plugin released though. It would in theory add quite a bit of extra time to our moderator duties.

The logs list no edits for this thread. Just locks/unlocks, merge and bump.

@unknownuser said: @Jim I must say that I am bluffed with the speed of Ruby, thinking that all the lines are interpreted and that I use many Array operations which have a lot of code behind them.[/qoute] My thought is that it is fast because there are no objects being created. The arrays being manipulated contain only pointers to integers which there is only a single instance of in Ruby. @unknownuser said: PS: another challenge would be to create a Sudoku solution workbench in Ruby! Yes, that's a good one; and i had a similar one in mind called the "100 squares" puzzle.

And in Chris' edition.. if a developer wanted to avoid being cleaned up, he need only set an id attribute on the script object.

Thanks, I understand the limitations. I just wanted something to clean-up carelessly-named components. I was also thinking about a plugin for renaming definitions based on their "_name" atributes (for DC's) so the component names in the Outliner and the names in the Dynamic Attributes editor matched up.

@unknownuser said: should i drop the 'you should see how this works on osx' bomb ? or should i just keep my mouth shut? Well, this is one of those no-brainers that should "just work" IMO. Ideally, when I select ay plain text file, it should be shown in the preview pane, plus there should be a toggle button to enter/exit "edit" mode in the preview pane. This is how I would spec it if that were my job.

Good thought, but that wasn't it. Turned out to be that I was running SketchUp in XP SP3 compatibility mode, along with using a basic theme.

@unknownuser said: ...but if you mean metaphorically....no it is biased in terms of mood. I did mean metaphorically - were you concerned about over-doing it and having it back-fire?

Just looking for a shortcut way to get vertex normals. I know it can be done in Ruby, but was hoping SketchUp did it faster when using a PolygonMesh.

No reason, but I went ahead and changed the posts to this account to avoid further confusion.
