[Obsolete] TT_Lib (1.2.0) — 31 August 2010

[thomthom]

Obsolete
This library is no longer used by any of my plugins.

This is not a standalone plugin!
You only need to download this package if a plugin states it requires TT_Lib (Previously Plugin Manager).

Overview
This is a library of reusable code to better organize and manage plugins that implement's its features. This first release only have a UI Manager. More feature will come later. (With no promises to what or when.)

Features

• UI Manager (1.0.0)
  Provides a UI to add and remove menu and toolbar items.
  
• Cheat Sheet (1.1.0)
  Creates a list of commands and the keyboard commands assigned.
  
• Common Code Snippets
  Includes some commonly used methods.
  

Documentation
SDK is being written. Coming soon to a forum near you! (Sorry - heavy changes has postponed this.)

Installation
You can remove the old TT_Plugin_Manager folder.

Extract the TT_Lib folder inside the .zip file into your Sketchup Plugins folder.
"Same procedure as last yea'!"

Hi Thom,

Is this tool for those developing scripts or for users to manage plugins that incorporate this tool?

Sorry for the dumbass question? But Ruby and me are like peanuts and chewing gum. We don't mix!

[thomthom]

Both.
I found the need to make a UI manager for my Selection Toys plugin. And I figured I might want to do the same for other plugins. So I made this single library which multiple plugins can use without having to rewrite the same code.

It also means that any plugin that implements the UI Manager in this package will allow the users to add/remove items from the menus and toolbars. Note, it#s only add and remove, not move things freely around.

Not much for end users here unless a plugin told them to download this package.

TT_PLuginmanager was the old name of TT_Lib, which an old version of Selection Toys used. Download an updated version of both.
Why did you suddenly get that error now?

[pilou]

Because I have this message for many months but not taken the time to managed it
Works fine now except the Window UI that I can't scroll inside!
As don't possible scrolling I can't have all lines show even in resize the window
You have a lot things inside ! I can Open Close some item like Tools Menu, Context Menu
So I can see 22 vertical icones

What IE version do you have installed?

[pilou]

Yes I have not IE7
Normally no need

about the "what page"
page = screen

I you can place your "TT plugs" on the end of the top heros Script (as like in a sea port)
that will be terrific
Now you are on the end of the second page (screen)
As SU has not "page down" just the black triangle pressed, that is very painful!

Can't you resize the window by dragging the bottom edge down ?

[pilou]

That you see is my full screen on my 17 inch !
So don't resize more!

[TIG]

I mean resize the dialog's window !

[thomthom]

Yes I have not IE7
Normally no need

You still have IE6?
And a million web-developers cried out in pain!

Update your IE to IE8. Even if you don't use IE as your browser - there are many applications that use the IE platform, such as SU with it's webdialogs.


As for the position of the menu item - .rb files are loaded in order of their file names. rename tt_0000_menu.rb to something like 0000_tt_menu.rb and I think you're good to go.

[pilou]

Yes it's the disavantages of the monopoly system if you don't want use it!
That is the first time that I am blocked

I will try your 000 number but for respect of your previous friends I will give a more hight number!

I will try your 000 number but for respect of your previous friends I will give a more hight number!

If you sort the files in the Plugins folder by name you can see the load order. Name the file to whatever you want to control where it appears on the menu, just make sure it loads before the rest of the tt_*.rb files.

[pilou]

Thx for the precision!

[TIG]

Starting a file name with # loads before any numbers/letter start...

You don't - it a shared library that some of my plugins use.

[thomthom]

How did you install it?

You should have a TT_Lib file in your Plugins folder, and all those files you mention in that error you got should be inside that.

[arjunmax09]

You don't - it a shared library that some of my plugins use.

I was advised by KXI that this plugin was formerly known as plugin manager and could be used to manage junk plugins. How can I do this?

[thomthom]

You can't.
It was previously intended to help manage plugins - but it was only for developers. It is only a library of reusable code.

[derei]

Could you update TT_Lib2, or make another library for your plugins, as now I have TT_Lib and TT_Lib2. I just made some cleaning in my Plugins and I deleted TT_Lib, because I assumed that is obsolete .

Thank you.

Thank you.

They are completely different. TT_Lib2 can't be backwards compatible with TT_Lib - it's the whole reason why I made v2.
However - I think the only plugin I released that use TT_Lib is Selection Toys - the rest was in development stage and was ported to TT_Lib2.

There will be an major update to Selection Toys - then it will use TT_Lib2. Until then you need both libraries.

[majid]

thank you TT . I like the feature of selectiong and converting group copies to component and use it ferequentely, but the confliction of selection toys and TT uv toolkit is a bit time consuming.
each time I must delete one of TT_lib folders.... hahhahahahah
waiting for next update, and thanks axain mate

?

What conflict?

I have them all running on my computer with no problem. TT_Lib is only used by Selection Toys.

UV Toolkit uses TT_Lib2.
