require 'sketchup.rb'
# I'm not getting a good picture of where this code fits, and how
parameters are fed to it.
# So, let's assume that Sketchup has a class method on it that will let us know.
# e.g. Sketchup.materials_path contains 'C:/Program Files/@Last
Software/Blah Blah/'

# Call Materials_menu.initialize_menu somehow, probably not here,
since this is the menu # action.
Dir.chdir Sketchup.materials_path
Dir["*.jpg"].each do |img_name|
  begin
    Sketchup.import_material(img_name)
  rescue Exception => e
    UI.messagebox(e.message)
  end
end

# This needs to be defined before it is called, so put it in one of
your classes.
# Let's assume it's available as Sketchup.import_material()
# I've also made the assumption that 'texture' contains a filename,
not the actual file data.
# Note; you would put this actual definition in sketchup.rb, not here.
def Sketchup.import_material(file_name)
  materials = Sketchup.active_model.materials
  # Adds a material to the "in-use" material pallet.
  m = materials.add "img"
  m.texture = file_name
end

# This should be in a better place as well, and you could use a Materials_menu
# class variable instead of the file_loaded? thing.
def Materials_menu.initialize_menu
  unless file_loaded?("massmaterialimporter.rb")
    # This will add a separator to the menu, but only once
    add_separator_to_menu("Plugins")
    plugins_menu = UI.menu("Plugins")
    Materials_menu = plugins_menu.add_submenu("Mass Material Importer")
    Materials_menu.add_item("Import Materials") { materialimporter }
  end
end
