LeftMouseDownAction Execute

If you check here : https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14325&start=10
In 2018 You have already helped me with the same kind of menu, having the same problem. But even doing the same solution again, it doesn't work ...

Ok i have find the problem... The correct syntaxe is :

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=["#@#Raccourcis\[#URL1#]"]

Is extremely weird if this does work, but if you say so, let it be. So, is the issue fixed?

The weird syntax is needed because the variable is set to the name of a measure without brackets in the [Variables] section of 'scanLINK.ini' included file. All of those URL# variables should have brackets, and I believe the RCI# variables also need them; this avoids the confusion caused by setting a variable to a MEASURE SECTION NAME only without telling Rainmeter you are referencing an actual measure in the code.

I would recommend to save any included files with .inc extension; as .ini they show in the skin list, but fail to run since they have no METERS.

Original (doesn't work)...

Code: Select all

[Variables]
folderpath=#@#Raccourcis
RCI1=MeasureName1
RCI2=MeasureName2
RCI3=MeasureName3
RCI4=MeasureName4
RCI5=MeasureName5
RCI6=MeasureName6
RCI7=MeasureName7
RCI8=MeasureName8
RCI9=MeasureName9
RCI10=MeasureName10
URL1=CalculeURL1
URL2=CalculeURL2
URL3=CalculeURL3
URL4=CalculeURL4
URL5=CalculeURL5
URL6=CalculeURL6
URL7=CalculeURL7
URL8=CalculeURL8
URL9=CalculeURL9
URL10=CalculeURL10
Link1=Game1LNK1
...

This works and properly sets the variables to measures (not just the section name)...

Code: Select all

[Variables]
folderpath=#@#Raccourcis
RCI1=[MeasureName1]
RCI2=[MeasureName2]
RCI3=[MeasureName3]
RCI4=[MeasureName4]
RCI5=[MeasureName5]
RCI6=[MeasureName6]
RCI7=[MeasureName7]
RCI8=[MeasureName8]
RCI9=[MeasureName9]
RCI10=[MeasureName10]
URL1=[CalculeURL1]
URL2=[CalculeURL2]
URL3=[CalculeURL3]
URL4=[CalculeURL4]
URL5=[CalculeURL5]
URL6=[CalculeURL6]
URL7=[CalculeURL7]
URL8=[CalculeURL8]
URL9=[CalculeURL9]
URL10=[CalculeURL10]
Link1=Game1LNK1
...

Then the expected syntax will work: LeftMouseUpAction=["#@#Raccourcis\#URL1#"]

Very good point. Didn't realize this, but it definitely makes sense.

I would recommend to save any included files with .inc extension; as .ini they show in the skin list, but fail to run since they have no METERS.

Good point as well. Not mentioning that this is always recommended.

Then the expected syntax will work: LeftMouseUpAction=["#@#Raccourcis\#URL1#"]

This is not a needed step. If the code is desingned to work the way it does, this is an unwanted complication, in my opinion.

It's not weird at all, if you instead write it LeftMouseUpAction=["#@#Raccourcis\[&[#URL1]]"] - which is how I would have done it in the first place, to avoid syntax confusion.

Alright, in meantime I understood eclectic-tech's explanation on how the above LeftMouseUpAction does work.

I know you did. I just mentioned a way of writing it that is less confusing.

Alright, thanks.

Hello, sorry I didn't answer earlier.
Yes the problem has been solved.
Another problem arose but I didn't have time to deal with it until today.

With the name of a file I created this code to recover its extension:

Code: Select all

[CalculeLNKtoEXTIMG2]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FileView3
Path=[MeasureFolderEXTIMG]
Type=FileName
Index=2
IfMatch=.*jpg.*
IfMatchAction=[!SetOption EXT2 String ".jpg"]
IfMatch2=.*jpeg.*
IfMatchAction2=[!SetOption EXT2 String ".jpeg"]
IfMatch3=.*png.*
IfMatchAction3=[!SetOption EXT2 String ".png"]
IfMatchMode=1
DynamicVariables=1

However for some reason that escapes me, "EXT2" is not equal to one of the extensions (.jpg, .jpeg or .png) but to the name of the entire file ...
