I believe this was an Indigo bug that was fixed in version 2.0.5. Try installing Indigo 2.0.5 and making SkIndigo 'point' to this version instead of 2.0.4 (you know how to do this, right? See the indigo_2_0_4_path.txt file in your plugins folder)

I am focused entirely on Mac fixes right now and will probably not release a new version until it is 90%+ functional on Mac.

@kellpossible: The next version should be backward compatible with Indigo 1.1.18.

thanks whaat! I'm a high school student and don't have the money (or the job) to buy the new indigo yet!

stinkie, if by 'export issue' you mean indigo not getting the right size for the image, it seems to be working properly in 2.0.6.

That's not it - Indigo's not opening my exported scenes automatically, I have to do it manually.

Sorry Whaat: when do you plan the exporter of SkIndigo compatible with Indigo 2.0.6 will be available?

p.s. did you read my report of broken clay rendering mode?

Hi Pibuz,
SkIndigo 2.0.4 should work fine with Indigo 2.0.6. AFAIK, the only issue reported is that it does not launch the render automatically.

I don't really want to release a new version until benn fixes the Mac version of Indigo because I want the next version of SkIndigo to work on Mac.

Regarding clay render: I didn't think anyone ever used this feature :) It has been on my todo list to fix for a long time but I have not made it a high priority. I can't say when I will get to it. I have lots I need to work on but it will get fixed eventually (hopefully before the official release of Indigo 2.0)

Cheers,
Whaat

Thank you mate.
So, I'm gonna wait this Mac version in order to have an even more stable release.
I work fine with 1.1.18 at the moment, and I don't want to mess it all up :wink:

Thank you!

SkIndigo 2.0.4 is opening my Indigo 2.0.6 for rendering just fine ... has anyone determined what may be causing this issue for others?

*edit* the only issue I've noticed is that, despite checking the "Low CPU Priority" box, Indigo always runs at Normal priority. Also, it would be nice to be able to render as Working Master by default. I always need to stop the render, enable the network rendering option, then restart render -- not too much of an issue, but a little funny nonetheless.

Maybe it's a Vista thing (I am running Ultimate via BootCamp)? Just a wild guess - I'll gladly leave it to more knowledgeable people to figure this out. :)

Its working fine for me (2.0.4, 2.0.6, vista ultimate 64), although the permissions on vista are a strange beast so it might still be that.

Whaat, is SkIndigo nolonger using the autorender.bat file? I may have screwed things up by using both 1.1.18 and the 2.0.6 beta, but I am unable to get the autorender.bat file written and executed for a render upon pressing the render button in SketchUp.

*edit* I'm running Windows 7

Is your sketchup located inside "C:\Progamm Files" or "C:\Progamm Files (x86)"?

if yes, skindigo does not have permissions to write inside that directory. (if the autorender.bat is usually written in the su dir, that is.)

SkIndigo 2.0.4 does not use autorender.bat file anymore. It tries to open the IGS file directly. However, this will only work if the default application to open IGS files has been properly set to Indigo. The Indigo installer is supposed to do this but there might be a bug with some operating systems.

Regardless, the next version of SkIndigo will use a command line call (without batch file) to launch the render. This should solve all these problems. It won't matter whether the default applications are set or not.
