[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v8.8a - 24 Feb 19

[fredo6]

Same problem as Oxer. You are on Mac, and there seems to be a problem with Web dialog boxes.

Since you have FredoTools installed, could you check if
- the Quick Launcher works
- if Solid Volume displays a dialog box

Thanks

Fredo

[pbacot]

Ok updating several Fredo6 plugins allows me to open without prompts and FredoTools and Fredo Collection seem to be in place as before!

Still when I choose "View Trace Log Files..." sometimes a window flashes on and off but nothing else happens.

FredoTools Launcher doesn't do anything.
Solid Volume flashes a window briefly.

[fredo6]

@oxer, @pbacot,

Can you tell me which version of Safari you run on your Mac.

It seems that Safari does not like a change I made in my code related to dialog boxes.

Thanks

Fredo

[Oxer]

Yes, have you probe anther options like Defaults Options..., Translate Language.., etc?
To me, with all these options the popup window appear and disappear immediately.

macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 & SU2017

[pbacot]

I have Safari 12.0.2 (13606.3.4.1.4)

Can we have access to 8.7a again? I've searched absolutely every where I can't find it, 8.7d broke Windows dialog boxes. Thanks!

[pbacot]

Thanks Fredo for the help! (I just haven't got back to checking this last one.)

Fredo,

I can not install Cruviloft! This is the error:

Curviloft: This plugin requires LibFredo6 version greater than 68.
Current version is 75.

I couldn't find a higher version of LibFredo. What should I do?
Thank you so much.

Fredo,

I can not install Cruviloft! This is the error:

Curviloft: This plugin requires LibFredo6 version greater than 68.
Current version is 75.

I think the message is that you require LibFredo6 v8.6, and you have an old version (v7.5).

So just upgrade LibFredo6.

[fredo6]

I fixed it with LibFredo6 v8.7e.

Your Windows user-name in Chinese [劉 祐 成] "Liú yòu chéng" seems to be causing the issue.
Ruby is having difficulty encoding it into UTF-8 format...
Having non-ASCII characters in user-names used to be a recipe for an error in Ruby; however, more recent versions are much better in forcing UTF-8 from such strings.

Typically using this in the Ruby Console:
ENV['USERNAME'].encoding
or
ENV['HOME'].encoding
Returns this:
Windows-1252

Which is then converted to the required encoding of UTF-8 in the Ruby processing.

What do you get returned for those ENV tests ?

Perhaps Fredo can strengthen his code to force that encoding ??

Can anyone help me understand what this error means?

@modoleinad

Usually, this problem comes when you installed Sketchup without Administrator rights.

So I am afraid you need to uninstall SU2018 and reinstall.

I tried to download FredoTools and Toposhaper yesterday. My current LibFredo6 version is 8.5. I got a message saying that I need LibFredo6 version 86 for FredoTools and LibFredo6 version 87 for Toposhaper. The extension manager doesn't give me the option of updating my 8.5 version. Do I need to uninstall version 8.5 and then install version 8.7? Or do I leave 8.5 in the manager and just install 8.7?

[TIG]

No need to uninstall the earlier version[s].
The new installation will overwrite any equivalent files/version etc as needed.
But you should restart SketchUp after finishing the installation[s] to ensure everything gets synced...

Hi Fredo one question, I installed SU 2019 and the first thing that I freshly install is LibFredo6-v8.7K but when I go to Windows/LibFredo6Settings/Check for updates it gives info that 8.7j is actually installed and needs an update to 8.7k... I tried everything to fix this, fresh install and everything and after several attempts to install 8.7k, it gives a result as if I have installed 8.7j and needs an update. Any help?

[TIG]

You must restart SketchUp to ensure the latest installed version is loaded.
But if the issue continues after that, then come back...

[Puco]

Did restart SketchUp, and my pc to be entirely sure that everything is set correctly, but no luck, 8.7j is installed instead of 8.7k. Checked the download folder if I accidentally have the wrong version downloaded, but no, everything is ok, 8.7 K is what I have downloaded and installed, and yet, SketchUp even upon restart of the program and pc says that I need to actually update to 8.7 k
