hello a4rchitect,

i was just thinking if this could combine and work with pluginloader by alexschreyer to load plugins, then use launchit as the front-end.

+1, i also like to see a sketchup to luxrender connection.

im going to vote for this, thinking of moving to ubuntu.

Hello,

you could tweak the window services, check out this website, http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm, im not sure if this will affect loading time of apps, but pretty sure it will make booting up faster.

another way is to defrag, i use jkdefrag gui here http://www.emro.nl/freeware/

i found an alternative os for you, i havent actually tried it yet so be cautious, its beta at the moment.

Thank you majid

according to the error, your missing the win32api.so, better to download the cadalog beam tool again.

no trouble, glad we solve the problem.

hi Cadfather,

thank you for the help! everything finally works! i think you can remove the beta now, because everything is perfect.

the problem was the mover2.rb inside the plugins folder. its included in the recent zip file so i have problem with bugsplat, but after i removed it following your folder structure, everything is working now.

thanks for the help and for this wonderful toolbar!

hi Cadfather,

yes, i still have the first version, i just replace the plugins with the old one and it has the mirror problem also, i tested it earlier and its working fine. its really weird, the mover2 which did not work on the first version is working fine. but the drop is still not working and the mirror is now having bugsplat. could be something to do with the mover2 script?

hi Cadfather,

im using windows xp sp2 and sketchup 6 & 7 free version, i reinstalled sketchup 7 but the bugsplat persist, i tried it as well on sketchup 6 and it has the same problem. its really weird, maybe my computer has the problem. i will test it on another computer and see if it still happening.

edit, i tested it on another machine, using windows xp sp2 sketchup 6, and i get bugsplat too.
