Automatically loading a skin

[CyberTheWorm]

OK Guru's here's one for you.
I trying to write a skin that will load a skin when it detect a new drive has been plugged in. e.g USB drive. Then loads a skin and removes it when the drive is unplugged.

I have got it to work but get warnings when I refresh the skin.

Code: Select all

[MeasureDriveFExists]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
IgnoreRemovable=0
Drive=F:
Type=1
IfAboveValue=1
IfAboveAction=[!ActivateConfig "SmallSkin\Drives\F" "Drive.ini"]
IfBelowValue=2
IfBelowAction=[!DeactivateConfig "SmallSkin\Drives\F" "Drive.ini"]

Is there a better way to do this?

I don't know if there is a best way to do this, but you can for sure add:

Code: Select all

LogSubstringErrors=0

to your measure as those warnings, I guess, are from not finding more than one drives.

What kind of warnings?

Are you sure about this "If measure > 1 do !activateconfig, if measure < 2 do !deactivateconfig"?

Code: Select all

IfBelowValue=2
IfBelowAction=[!DeactivateConfig "SmallSkin\Drives\F" "Drive.ini"]

The !DeactivateConfig bang doesn't need a File parameter (in this case "Drive.ini"), as the !ActivateConfig needs. It always unloads the currently loaded skin, of the given config. Replace the IfBelowAction option with the following one: IfBelowAction=[!DeactivateConfig "SmallSkin\Drives\F"].

does this work? Im also interested in creating a similar skin that autohides all the unplugged drives and shows all plugged drives.
