Some issues with !Refresh

[balala]

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
AccurateText=1

[MeasureOne]
Measure=Calc
Formula=(MeasureOne + 1) %11
[!Log "Hello"]
FontSize=30

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=!Log "Hello"
FontWeight=400
FontColor=255,255,255,255
SolidColor=47,47,47,255
Padding=5,5,5,5
AntiAlias=1
Text=Hello World

It seems weird it does work even if the "section name" (the name of the meter style) is a valid and otherwise perfectly working bang. But it definitely does...

It starts with a [ and it's not a Key=Value line, so... there you go.

Yes, right. However...

!Bangs don't mean a thing, and are simply literal text like any other, if they are not used in the context of an action option. It is the action option itself, the LeftMouseUpAction=, OnUpdateAction=, IfTrueAction=, etc. that causes the !Bang to be treated as such.

INI files have only three valid forms for a line:

1) [SectionName]
2) Option=Value
3) ;Comment

Period, end of story. Anything else is just ignored.

Ok, makes sense. And this is the structure of any .ini file, not just those used into Rainmeter. For instance some programs are saving their settings into such .ini files. Like core Temp.
