Just tested the 2023.1 version.
Here are a few ‘issues’ that are a deal-braker to me so I’m sticking to 2022. Hoping these get fixed before/in 2024.
My issues are:
-
The Outliner renaming bug is still not fixed. See here
-
If you double click a nested object in the viewport in SU 2023, in the Outliner, only the top-level object is shown and it doesn’t expand the hierarchy and show the name of the nested object automatically like in all the previous SketchUp versions. You now have to click the little triangle. This leads to very much extra mouse movements and scrolling.
-
If you have the Outliner expanded so it shows your nested objects in the hierarchy and you run some ruby plugins (like TIG’s mirror for instance), after completion of the plugin, the Outliner rolls up your hierarchy again so your nested objects are not visible anymore and you have to click the little triangle again of the top-level object. This happens with several of my own plugins (so TIG’s wonderful mirror is just used here to replicate the issue) and my guess is - it happens when objects are added/removed to top-level groups using Ruby (so the added objects are nested). → fixed in 23.1.319 (installer 2023-1-319-110).
-
The interface is changed again - some issues of 2023.0 are fixed but some are not.
- The big search icon leads to 12px of wasted space between the top menu bar and all the scene tabs
- The scene tabs themselves have much left and right padding so they use more space
- I use a separate panel with just Scenes & Styles. For some reason, you can’t reduce its minimum width below 343 pixels. Again - much wasted space for me as my scene names mostly have 4 letters or less. Same for style names. My separate panel for Outliner, Entity Info and Tags can be made much smaller than 343 pixels.
I hope these issues can be replicated and fixed at some point. Feel free to pm me if more info is needed.
230914: tested 23.1.319 (installer 2023-1-319-110). Issue nr 3 was fixed, the rest is the same.
