I have a few simple, minor changes I'd like to see incorporated in the Phlatscript.

I just added some parenthesis to function calls, removed some leading spaces before open parenthesis in function calls. Doing this got rid of all the warnings when I load the scripts in the Ruby Console in Sketchup manually. Not a big deal, but it makes me feel better.

Also, is it possible to change the Phlatboyz scripts folder from Tools to the Plugins folder in the Sketchup dir? I have a patch to do this. This would be nice for people doing things on Mac. (I code on Win7beta and OSX, so I wouldn't be hurt if you said no. )

Not sure how many programmers there are working on the code, I assume maybe 1-3. Any procedure I should follow when submitting code changes?

Any plans on setting up a git repository or subversion? That'd be pretty cool. One situation this would be nice is when I was working on patching some faulty default settings for the constants when exporting gcode, this was already fixed for the next release. If I could've pulled the "bleeding edge" version of the Phlatscript, I would've seen these changes were already done, and I would've just waited for the next version to be released and worked on something else. Of course, maybe there aren't all that many people working on the Phlatscript to warrant such a thing yet. I'm cool with emailing or posting my revisions here if that's the case.

 

That would be really cool indeed.

Another question: Is there any changelogg or some document that explains new features?

I have a suggestion too:

gcode supports both relative and absolute positioning.

could we have absolute positioning to dictate where a group cut will be place on the Depron
then switch to relative positioning inside a group cut?

Like that, it would be very easy to manually edit gcode, either to cut/paste a block, or make a small modification to it.
