Just A Bin not updating after emptying

[J0wNs]

Hello, the Just A Bin basically doesn't update after I right click on it, in fact it still displays the number of files in the bin even if it's empty. What's wrong with it? Here's the code:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]

Dunno, your code works sorta ok for me, although it never does display the "number of files" in the bin, only the "size", and oh,YIKE! Change Update=1 to Update=1000. You really don't want or need this skin to update every 16 milliseconds. That is just going to use a lot more CPU than you want.

[jsmorley]

Change your code to

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Variables]
IconSize=32
IconEmpty=#@#Empty.png
IconFull=#@#Full.png

[Style]
StringAlign=Right

InlineSetting3=Color | 255,255,255,255
AntiAlias=1

Observations

Be sure you are running the latest 4.2 release version of Rainmeter from https://www.rainmeter.net/.

The lowest valid value for Update in [Rainmeter] is 16, and that is going to update the skin every 16 milliseconds. You almost NEVER want a value that low, it just uses a ton of CPU. Stay with Update=1000 unless there is some good reason, like some animation you are doing, that requires a lower value.

RecycleManager is no longer a plugin, but a measure.

There is no Drives=All option on RecycleManager.

https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/recyclemanager/

You don't have any [MeterCount] meter you are showing and hiding in your code, only [MeterSize].

I don't see any current point for having the [MeasureCount] measure. You aren't displaying it.

You are using some long-deprecated syntax like the "Rainmeter" prefix on the bangs and !RainmeterPluginBang, which has been replaced with !CommandMeasure.

https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/bangs/#Deprecated

You probably don't need AntiAlias=1 on Image meters, but almost certainly do want it on String meters.

Thanks! I must have changed that by mistake.
Anyways, I think I'm just gonna try to find an updated one or rewrite it.

[J0wNs]

I rewrote it, but I have the same issue, it's still displaying Size and Count after I empty it.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

UpdateDivider=1
X=15
Y=20
H=75
W=75

RecycleType=Size
UpdateDivider=5
IfCondition=MeasureBinSize < 1
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption Fill ImageName ""][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=(MeasureBinSize >= 1) && (MeasureBinSize <= 300000000)
IfTrueAction2=[!SetOption Fill ImageName "#@#Bin\fill1.png"][!Redraw]
IfCondition3=MeasureBinSize > 300000000
IfTrueAction3=[!SetOption Fill ImageName "#@#Bin\fill2.png"][!Redraw]
UpdateDivider=1

[MeasureBinCount]
Measure=RecycleManager

What are you going for here? Describe the behavior you want.

[J0wNs]

The "Fill" meter allows the skin to select from two images that simply indicate the size of the bin. Example: https://i.imgur.com/7BFzgoQ.jpg
As you can see, it says that there are 2 elements that weight 946.5kB, however, the bin is empty and it only shows the correct information if I put something in it and right/left click on it. From what I'm seeing, it never shows 0 elements 0kB, which would indicate that the bin is empty. So I'm thinking to set a new MeasureBinSize = 0 that displays "Empty" as text and Hides the Size and Count meters.

[jsmorley]

I don't have your images, so I just created 3 quick ones. Full0.png is when the bin is "empty", Full1.png is when the bin contains less than 300000001 bytes, and Full2.png is when the bin contains at least 300000001 bytes.

Full0.png

Full1.png

Full2.png

Then if I use your code, just replacing the image names:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Fill]
Meter=Image
X=15
Y=20
H=75
W=75

[MeasureBinSize]
Measure=RecycleManager
RecycleType=Size
IfCondition=MeasureBinSize < 1
IfTrueAction=[!SetOption Fill ImageName "#@#Bin\Full0.png"][!Redraw]
IfCondition2=(MeasureBinSize >= 1) && (MeasureBinSize <= 300000000)
IfTrueAction2=[!SetOption Fill ImageName "#@#Bin\Full1.png"][!Redraw]
IfCondition3=MeasureBinSize > 300000000
IfTrueAction3=[!SetOption Fill ImageName "#@#Bin\Full2.png"][!Redraw]
UpdateDivider=1

[MeasureBinCount]
Measure=RecycleManager
RecycleType=Count

[MeterBinSize]

[MeterBinCount]

SolidColor=0,0,0,1
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBinSize OpenBin][!Refresh][!Update]
RightMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBinSize EmptyBin][!Refresh][!Update]
DynamicVariables=1

I get:

So I guess I just don't understand the issue you are having.

This is what I made:

[MeasureBinEmpty]
Measure=RecycleManager
RecycleType=Size
UpdateDivider=5
IfCondition=MeasureBinSize < 1
IfTrueAction=[!HideMeterGroup "Info"][!ShowMeter "MeterEmpty"][!Redraw]
IfFalseAction=[!HideMeter "MeterEmpty"][!ShowMeterGroup "Info"][!Redraw]

[MeterEmpty]
Meter=String
Text=Empty
FontSize=8
AntiAlias=1
X=35
Y=75

Still doesn't properly detect wheter the bin is empty or not.
Anyways, I got that working, the issue is still the same.

So I guess I just don't understand the issue you are having.

Here's a gif showing the issue: https://gfycat.com/ViciousGargantuanAntarcticfurseal
As you can see, the bin is empty but it still shows the infos of the previous element that was in it.
