Buienradar Skin, last updated not updating

[habell]

I'm trying to show text when the weather image is last updated. But is seems I can't make it work.
It either updates realtime, or is updates once.

My code

Code: Select all

I want "MeterText" to be update when de "current.gif" is succesfully updated. That's why i've tried to get the filedate of the last update file.

Any help is welcome.

In order to update the FileView plugin, you need to use !CommandMeasure (reference); it will not update using !UpdateMeasure.

You need to change the "FinishAction" in [MeasureExtract] to:

Code: Select all

FinishAction=[!SetOption MeterAnimLoop ImageName current0000[*MeasureAnimLoop*].png][!EnableMeasure MeasureAnimLoop][!CommandMeasure MeasureFolder "Update"]

The [MeasureDate] section is a FileView child measure and will update only when the parent measure [MeasureFolder] is updated, so you do not need to update that in a separate bang.

This will update the date text when the images are updated.

EDIT: You might want to change the [MeasureExtract] "StartInFolder" value to StartInFolder=#CurrentPath#DownloadFile rather than the absolute path you have for drive F:

Thanks very much for the input.

I've made the changes. In about 15 minutes I see if it works (the updaterate is about 15 minutes).
But the initial results are promissing.

Since "StartInFolder" did not work with the variable #CurrentPath# I've enter the absolute path.
I don't know why it won't work otherwise.
I've tried it now again, and is still doesn't work, so I've re-enter the absolute path.

Edit:The text is updated now! Thanks very much!

Glad to help!

#CurrentPath#DownloadFile is working for me... One thing you could try would be to surround the value in quotation marks (or double quotes), this may get it to work, if you have "spaces" in your skin path;
StartInFolder="#CurrentPath#DownloadFile"
StartInFolder=""#CurrentPath#DownloadFile""

You absolutely should not need "quotes" or ""quotes"" around a StartInFolder parameter, spaces in the path or not.

I was waiting for someone to critique that quotation suggestion.
Since Rainmeter throws away quotes it doesn't need, I figured it was worth suggesting.

Thanks again for clarifying; at any rate, the OP should find a way to avoid using an absolute path in the run command (since it will only work on his computer)...
