Ok I am editting google sketchups base and I have built a ruby plugin  
however I want an event to happen on close.

So when you open sketchup it opens somthing called a components panel  
which I am doing with,

status = UI.show\_inspector “Components”

But then I want it to Hide the Components panel when sketchup is closed.  
any ideas anyone?

Then you might have better luck asking on the Sketchup development list  
or the general Ruby list. This is the Rails list, and you don’t appear  
to be using Rails here (right?).
