Continuing the discussion from TIGs LayerWatcher:
I picked up a bit of malware on Wednesday (Dec. 30), 2 days after my original post, spent a half day Thursday and most of Friday morning cleaning my system, today LayerWatcher is working as advertised, go figure.
Oops, I spoke too soon.
Start SUp start a new model, LW works, load previous model LW does not fire.
Start SUp, start new model, save new model âtest LWâ, LW works.
Start SUp, load âtest LWâ, LW doesnât fire.
Whatâs your SUp version and OS ?
LW should be loaded when you open a new model or open an existing model, and also when you open another model from within SketchUp or from within Windows⌠etc.
So something is wrongâŚ
SUp version 16.0.19912 64 bit
OS Windows 10 Pro
Iâve been thinking about uninstalling/reinstalling SUp to see if that fixes the problem, but thatâs kind of a pita.
LW was working before, how long ago I canât say for sure, couple of week I think.
Well the good news [if we can call it that!] is that I have now managed to replicate your issue - with the same OS and SUp version.
The Layer observers fail to continue firing when a new SKP is opened.
But the context-menu tool to reassign Layer0 to selected geometry do work across SKPs - so LW is still running, but with broken ObserversâŚ
So I now know where something is adriftâŚ
After some more testing Iâll update LW with a fix - hopefullyâŚ
I have now adjusted the code and now itâs always working properly for me - i.e. the Layer Observer now transfers onto a new SKPâs layers etc, and warns when you are changing the current-layer away from Layer0âŚ
Please download/install v8.0 from hereâŚ
TIG, out of curiosity, was this related to the Observer changes in SU 2016?
I donât think it was.
It was more related to an idiot typing the code !
[a.k.a. me !]
It should work across all supported versions of SketchUp nowâŚ
Thanks! Version 8 seems to work with several of my models that didnât work before.
