Hmmm the new site looks great

Couple of questions about it..

Does it automatically log us out if we just close the browser ?

Using the log out button automatically logs me back in Not really what i want it to do

I couldn't find away of disabling the Remember me option. One gets on first visit to the new UI

I can't get FOG dialog box to display

Ignore found an answer in another thread by TIG thanks for the insight ... snappyfogdlg registry x was on the moon

No... I actually didnt figure it out????

If it opens in layout continue.. double click the image in layout, it will open in su for editing. as example 34524787.skp what ever
save it as any othername.skp you like in the right folder give that a go

Sorry nothing todo with the problematic model, just your Tag Rich .. Sketchup V9 Beta ?

If you think its a registry error try this

DAYOne.CMD

REG EXPORT HKCU\Software\Google GOOGLESU_.REG
REG DELETE HKCU\Software\Google /va /f
: Create Backup Restore Google Sketchup8 to DayOne
: THE BACKUP FILE GOOGLESU_.REG can be re-imported back into the registry with a click or two.
: THE DELETION of that registry hive gets recreated by the APPS google apps that use it.
: ITS SAFE to use because of the backup it makes for you.

name it DAYOne.CMD or *.BAT either way windows will handle it

Look for Shape bender or Fredo scale in the Plugins index:

Thank you Gaieus for the direction
Thanks also to Chris Fullmer for the ruby script and great video on usage

Does such a Plugin exist?
Looking for a plugin that’s able to wrap 3D text round cylindrical shape’s

Surely the fixed v8 code needs to keep proper track of the changes it's making to the Registry and purge the redundant parts - we should NOT be having to do this ourselves - otherwise it's not much of an improvement

I disagree because of the registry hack; The problems don’t exist when the dodgy registry entries don’t exist. DayOne!
Which makes me think it’s an introduced problem ala plug-ins. They “Google” didn’t think for one minute it couldn’t be abused.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\WebDialog]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\WebDialog_]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\WebDialog_bzasdfa2ctrasaasdfa123]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\WebDialog_xfasdffxxxxfae]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\WebDialog_xfxfsae]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\SketchUp8\WebDialog_xfxxxxfae]

Notice the random key names like WebDialog_bzasdfa2ctrasaasdfa123 _ xfasdffxxxxfae etc…
See thread on “reasons why sketchup 8 may crash”

I mean its not a natural name an author might use is it?

Is there a way to identify which registry entry belongs to which toolbar? I just had a look at the registry on my computer here at work. It shows ToolbarsUser-Bar0 through ToolbarsUser-Bar55 and then ToolbarsUserCustom-Bar0 through ToolbarsUserCustom-Bar53. There seem to be only 43 toolbars in the list under View>Toolbars so I think some of these registry entries probably aren't needed.

Key HKCU\Software\Google\Sketchup8\ToolBarsUserCustom-Summary\Bars
same goes for the ToolbarsUser-Bar#

That doesn't appear to list which toolbars are given what number which is what I was asking for.

What it tells you is the number REG_DWORD HEX (DECIMAL) the number of valid toolbars so if your registry tells you
you have 55 then you have 55 if its says 55 but 45 is the highest number of ToolBarsUser/Custom-Bar# entries then
the last ten are invalid .. They will be empty if its truely invalid

enddo

if statements are ONELiners

I know ya'll are ruby fans but the above 4nt/tcmd batch script removes all ToolBars-User/Custom registry keys
"if key exist then del registry key"
It has the effect of returning the GUI to Day 1 standard getting started toolbars

REGEDIT - HACK
Another easy fix is to just delete HKCU\Software\Google < registry entries It will be recreate the next time you start Sketchup!
NOTE! google earth settings will be reset to Day 1 as well no fear all default settings will be applied when you start google earth as well.

Tested for a week every day it gets re-created as if it was day one!

I had notice that under my xp user account it was taking nearly 20 seconds to load. Yet under another user account it loaded
instantly .. Loaded Regmon "filter out everything unrelated to sketchup.exe" watch it under secondary account .. Alls well
Under my normal user account i did the same thing.. BAM ToolBarsUser-Bar# trying to load thousands of User/Custom Toolbars

I suspect a Save ToolBar Position bug or a Plugin may be the reason behind my XP SU8 crashes
