So rainmeter has many different ways to handle folders, but I am wondering if the active window can be output to a text string?
Is it possible?
I know there can be many open windows, but only one will be the active window.

There are many ways to be different - there is only one way to be yourself - be amazing at it
The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

Re: How To Output the Active Folder Name
I don't know that there is a good way to limit this to "folders", but you can get the name of the active (focused) window.
