11/5/2010: I just updated this to version 1.2!
I finally got around to finishing this plugin. Everything should be working fine - let me know if you run into any problems.
This little tool came out of a need for having plugins available in a “locked down” computer lab setting (see http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf ... 15&t=16029). It also provides an easy way to browse some of the web plugin repositories and then to load any plugin into SketchUp - from any location. Because I had a recurring need for keeping some developer references handy, I decided to include several reference web links as well. The image below shows the menu:
This is not a perfect "plugin management" solution. I'll leave that up to Google (or you!). It works pretty well for my needs, though. Try it out. Here's the download link:

Thanks to Jim for helping me with some code! Let me know if I should add some more web links to the menu.
Cheers,
Alex

Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUpTested!
![]() Works like a charm! ![]() Why with your plug no necessary to restart the prog after loading a new plugin? ![]() That is black & white magic ![]() Just why not a "free surf" on any Net's address ![]() For goto Smustard.com for example?

Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUpExcellent work Alex and extremely useful
![]() Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUpI find it very useful and time saver.

Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUpNice one.
@Pilou there is a script from the first ruby days, called script loader. Works in the same way.Not magical ![]()
Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUpThanks for the comments. I actually didn't know about the script_loader plugin. But you're right - the underlying load function is very simple, nothing fancy here. I like calling it "Plugin loader" though because the menu is the Plugin menu and I wanted to make it easily understandable even for the novice user.
@Pilou: I didn't include Smustard because the Sketchucation index seems to index their plugins and I wanted to keep the menu as concise as possible. Two questions for everyone: * Is there a way to turn on the navigation buttons in the web dialog? Apparently these are off in Windows by default. * Does this work on the mac? I haven't tested it yet.

Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUpDear Alex, thank you for this very helpful plugin.
I've copied all my plugin folder on my USB key. I've no problem with the single scripts. But if I want to load JPP plugin I've a bugslat ! The message box ask me to install progressbar.rb. But it already exists in my plugin folder. Any idea on what could happen ? Jean-Franco
Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUp
This is a case where my loader might not work. Some (especially the more complex) plugins have dependencies that are "hardwired". It might help to have the progressbar.rb script in both locations. Dito for other standard scripts. Author of "Architectural Design with SketchUp":

Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUpThank you very much!
Before this plugin I had to close & reopen my skecthup to review the changes I made to my ruby script but now I can just reload it right inside the program.
Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUpI'm trying to manage my plugin collection, your plugin seems to be a good way doing it.
Halas, when I choose "load plugins from folder" select any plugin in the folder, I have this report in ruby console: > load"/Volumes/USB/as_pluginloader.rb" true Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `as_require_all' for AS_plugin_loader:Module> /Volumes/USB/as_pluginloader.rb:164:in `load_plugin_folder' /Volumes/USB/as_pluginloader.rb:229 No plugin loaded. ![]() " c'est curieux chez les marins ce besoin de faire des phrases "
Re: [Plugin] Plugin Loader for SketchUp@gilles

john learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself...
