IMPORTANT: critical upgrade to Fredo6 scripts (grayout menu)

[fredo6]

I am sorry to say that some of my scripts were heavy contributors to the problem of menu gray-out which has been reported by many users (see thread http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=27941#p242263. I fixed the faulty code.

WHETHER YOU USE MY SCRIPTS OR NOT, I would strongly advised users to upgrade the following scripts to their latest versions, all dated 6 May 10.

LibFredo6 --> v3.4c (the most critical)
ToolsOnSurface --> 1.6a
RevertCurve --> version 6 May 10
DxfTransformation --> version 6 May 10
MarkVertices --> version 6 May 10

In principle, you don't need to upgrade the other scripts (FredoScale, RoundCorner, HoverSelect, GhostComp, JointPushPull, BezierSpline, etc...).

Again, receive my apologies for the inconvenience.

Fredo

PS: even if you don't use the scripts, you still need to upgrade because the faulty code is executed whenever you do a right click in the SU selection tool (This small code is the one that makes the contextual menu appear for FredoScale and other scripts).

Fredo, Any rules of thumb to guide us lesser scripters?

Fredo, Any rules of thumb to guide us lesser scripters?

Apparently there is a limit of how many UI::Command objects one can create; 1000.
So the rule of thumb would be to sparse with these.
But the big no-no would be to never create UI::Command objects within the context handler.

I hope one of the Googlers can add warnings in the API docs about UI:Command objects.

Thanks Fredo for this very quick fix. Your plugins are part of my every day productivity, so it's nice to be able to enable them again.

I was reading that a sixth of May 2010...

[honoluludesktop]

Hmmm..... Well, thats more logical. Guess I was trying too hard to figure it out :-)

RevertCurve is published on SCF. See http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=25710&hilit=plugin

The two others are published elsewhere, but I will put them on SCF too.

These are small scripts, but they each add +1 in the count of commands when you do a right click.

I have nothing to add but a humble pile of warm, clean compostable thanks

to all afflicted action figures

who figured this out and fixed it.
