Removable storage with Force X

[eng3]

I've been using "ForceX System Monitor 3" and use the HD monitors. I'm using a microSD as an extra HD on my laptop.
I cannot seem to get it to recognize it. I set the drive number variable to the appropriate drive letter, but it just shows as 0 used, 0 free, 0 total.

The measure names are:
Mse_drive#Used
Mse_drive#Free
Mse_drive#Size

where # is the drive number

I'd appreciate any advice.

Is the line IgnoreRemovable=0 in concerned FreeDiskSpace measure?

[eng3]

I don't see FreeDiskSpace measure anywhere in my settings files

The measures I am using are:
Mse_drive#Used
Mse_drive#Free
Mse_drive#Size

where # is the drive number

[mak_kawa]

I mean "FreeDiskSpace measure" is the measure including a line Measure=FreeDiskSpace.

No such measures in your skin?

[eng3]

No, I basically just copied the HD example from the Force X System Monitor skin

The only measures are really just:
Mse_drive#Used
Mse_drive#Free
Mse_drive#Size

So I basically just copied this.
To create a second bar, I just copy all of it and change drive1 to drive 2 and so on
Drive1 is c:
drive2 is d:
drive3 is e:
But it doesnt work for e:
I'm guessing because e: is a removable drive

[mak_kawa]

I am not sure about Force X. But guessing from your post, maybe...

Code: Select all

[Mse_Drive3Free]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive3#
IgnoreRemovable=0
UpdateDivider=2

[Mse_Drive3Name]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive3#
IgnoreRemovable=0
UpdateDivider=2
Label=1
UpdateDivider=3600

[Mse_Drive3Used]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive3#
IgnoreRemovable=0
InvertMeasure=1
UpdateDivider=2

[Mse_Drive3Size]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive3#
IgnoreRemovable=0
Total=1
UpdateDivider=3600

[balala]

What mak_kawa wanted to say is that you just have to add an IgnoreRemovable=0 option to the FreeDiskSpace measures (those which have the Measure=FreeDiskSpace option), related to Drive3 (e:), so basically to all measures which have set both, the Measure=FreeDiskSpace and the Drive=#Drive3# options. You have to set these options, because the FreeDiskSpace measures, by default, are set to ignore the removable drives, which, if I understood well, your e: drive is. That's why the FreeDiskSpace measures are ignoring that drive and don't return anything.
So, add the mentioned options (maybe an even better idea would be to add the option to all FreeDiskSpace measures, because if a such measure is related to a non-removable drive, the option won't cause any problem) and refresh the skin. Is it working well?

[eng3]

AH
I actually did find the thing about "IgnoreRemovable=0" with FreeDiskSpace before posting this thread.
I missed the FreediskSpace measures at towards the top.
It works now. thanks
