Thank you for pointing the Addin from SimLab, having played with the demo for a few minutes it looks quite powerful indeed.

Thank you !

I've made a Windows executable for saving/restoring the SU prefs (no malware, no spyware, no adware, no installation).

tested w/ XP, should work w/ Vista/7 too; even though, use at own risk.

Script from sketch3d.de (Norbert) looked really promissing and easy to use . Thank you. Unfortunately, no go on Windows 8.1 with Sketchup 2015 (x64) as the script opens and seem to work normally, but nothing is saved.

Tried to save in 'Documents folder" to start with, then created a folder on the desktop, still no go. So unfortunately not working for me... Thank you anyway

could be missing user rights (see lower left corner), try if running by "Right-Click > Run as Admin..." works.

Thank you for your help. I have tried the Right-Click > Run as Admin... and still nothing is saved. No go, it does not work. Nothing is saved. I am running SketchUp 2015 (v15.3.331) on Win8 x64, and no modification was made at time of setup - normal setup ie: C:\Program Files\SketchUp\SketchUp 2015.

Here are an image showing the settings prior to clicking the "Backup" button.

Edit : this is all fixed with BackUp Prefs 1.16 f. Windows. Yeah !!! Thank you to the developer.

I'm not sure GC still works with skps, it stopped for a while at least, so I wrote a plugin...
I'll PM you this 'beta' plugin that lets you add icons to your skps that Finder/QuickLook can see, if you want?

I use it to add an icon from the 'File Menu' or a tool button any time I want, i.e. not auto on close.
It does do batches as well, but I need to do a little more on that before I release it to public...
I've had no horror stories from the dozen or more users who are 'testing' it.
