I haven't tested my plugins on SU7 for a long time...

I'm giving serious consideration to upgrading my home rig to 10.5.8 (which is as far as it can go). It would have a number of benefits (not the least of which would be the ability to use Cleanup3!). There would also be a few drawbacks, but I suppose these could be alleviated by keeping a 10.4 partition (mainly for for Classic apps - yes, I still use OS9 sometimes). Thank you for looking into this, and if you feel like having a look, please do. But I can manage with version 2 for now.

I knew you'd say that :OD

On 10.4 the latest version of Sketchup is 7. Leopard can use 8.

Further to my earlier post:

1. I now have a working setup on a 10.5.8 partition on my home Mac, using TT_Cleanup 3.2.1 and TT_Lib2 2.7.1 (the same setup as my Mac at work). I haven't tried every possible combination, but 2.9.8 definitely won't work. Having to use a separate partition is obviously not ideal, but it's a workround - a pity all my other stuff is on the main partition (running 10.4.11).

2. I now have a working setup on the main partition using Cleanup 2.0.0. which of course requires no TT_Lib. Again not ideal, but it's a workround.

It appears that the operating system may be the problem. Is there a way to get the more recent versions of TT_Cleanup and TT_Lib2 to run on OSX 10.4.11? If not, what is the most recent version of TT_Cleanup that will run on 10.4.11 (with or without TT_Lib)?

Trouble is, Cleanup3 is such an advance on 2 that I may have to consider upgrading the main partition just to get the benefits!

Hi Thomas. Thanks for getting back to me. I now have a working setup but only on my Mac at work. it's an Intel Mac Mini running 10.5.8 and I'm using SU7, TT_Cleanup 3.2.1 with TT_Lib 2.7.1. I tried 2.7.0, 2.8.3 and 2.9.8 before this and none of them worked. On my home computer, a G4 desktop running 10.4.11, no combination of TT_Cleanup and TT_Lib will work. I've tried them all (many times). Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi TT

Thanks for the fast response.

Here's what the Console gives me:

The versions installed are:

Cleanup 3.2.0
TT Lib 2.9.8

Sorry - new core.rb problem here:

Having 'inherited' some large, complex and badly-built SU models, I need a way to clean them up without resorting to a dozen partial solutions. I've been trying to get TT_cleanup to work, but I'm getting the following error when Sketchup starts:

Error Loading File /Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Plugins/TT_Lib2/core.rb

I should maybe mention that my Mac is a PPC G4 (there's a lot of us left!) and I'm using the most recent versions of the plugin and library. I'm beginning to wonder if the hardware may be the problem. It is rather old (without being in any sense rickety). This said, I haven't experienced problems with any other plugins (yet).

But I'm sure someone will know better than me...
