I would like to try and repeat this as it sounds like it is a bug in MigratePlugIns. Did the plug-in get listed as an available plug-in to migrate?
Yes, it was listed.
Hmmm, thatās odd thenā¦ Did you get any specific error message for that plugin? If so, do you remember what it was?
-J
Hmm, now it becomes difficult (for me).
This is V6:
No Stereo panel available.
But the Plugin is loaded:
I donāt know since when it is gone.
Weirdā¦ did you get it working in V7? When was the last time this worked in V6 for you? Just before _MigratePlugins was run? or ???
-J
No, unfortunately I donāt remember.
When I try again, I donāt get Stereo listed:
Did you try dragging and dropping it on V7 like I suggested? It may be that MigratePlugins already sees it as installed on V7 so it no longer lists itā¦ Does it work in V7 for you?
-J
Jeff, Iām not 100% sure, but I think it was available in V6 before I used _MigratePlugins in V7.
Yes of course.
I placed a separate copy of StereoView.rhp into C:\Program Files\Rhino WIP\Plug-ins.
Then d&d onto V7.
Stereo is listed in the Plugins section in the options dialog.
But also no entry no entry in the panel menu:
@Charles are you comfortable using RegEdit.exe ?
I just wiped my system of the StereoView pluginā¦and deleted all references to it from the Registry. I then installed it for V6ā¦everything worked. I started V7, ran MigratePlugins, selected only StereoView, clicked OK, and everything worked there as well.
Iād like to see if the same process works for you. ??
-J
Yes
Give me some minutes.
Did as you said.
No Rhino ran, and I cleaned Stereo from the registry by deleting the whole
288b9bb8-cacb-402d-b558-7c840dec3a0f
keys.
Then checked there is no Stereo loaded in V6 and also not in V7.
Started V6.
D&D of the rhp on V6.
Still no panel entry:
Also not after shutting down and restarting V6.
EDIT:
I now see I d&d from the wrong folder (from the WIP folder).
Did it all again, this time from the V6 folder; makes no difference.
ā¦
How shall I proceed?
Iād like you to do it all over again (unfortunately), but this time I want you to delete all versions of the plugin from your computerā¦
Then use this version of the plugin to install in V6ā¦and see if it migrates correctly to V7ā¦
StereoView.rhp (306 KB)
-J
Yes, Iāll do so.
Back in some minutes.
Hmm, again cleaned the registry and checked if it is not listed in V6.
Started V6.
d&d the new plugin.
V6 says it is loaded, but still no entry in the panels menu.
Aha!
Right click on the panelsā¦
Yes, Stereo is there!
I now close V6 and start V7.
_MigratePlugins doesnāt offer Stereo.
And no, it is not installed in V7.
Iām out of time today.
Can continue tomorrow.
Ok, please donāt try anything else at this pointā¦ @stevebaer will probably want to try tracking down why MigratePlugins isnāt seeing StereoView on your system at this point.
-J
Sure, Iāll do as you say.
Thanks for your effort.
Hi @jeff
The Plugin still works very good in V8 SR5 (RC).
Nice!
In Rhino Dark Mode the apperance is not optimal:
It doesnāt affect the functionality.
Noted.
