Spectrum v3 launcher keeps opening documents folder

Post by Bumblre »

The title says it all. I try to open blender while it is installed and it opens the documents folder.
The path for blender in the launcher options matches the path in my computer

Any help is apreciated

The latest Spectrum v3 Launcher looks to be from Sept 2018 on deviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/birdalliance/art/SPECTRUM-Launcher-v3-for-Rainmeter-762183493

I don't see a option to change the file path within the launcher itself, and it looks that settings.inc within the @Resources folder is the intended way to adjust which programs are launched, their images, etc. (can right click the button on the launcher and select Launcher Settings). Check if line 75 in settings.inc has the correct path to your installation of blender.

I don't have blender installed but I tried it with different programs and their paths and it does launch them if I change the path at that line.

Same way as for Alex88, it does work for me as well for other programs (but I also don't have installed blender). You should check the Group1Launcher2Action variable within the Spectrum V3\@Resources\settings.inc included file. How that variable does look like? Are you sure it is ok?

My path is "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe" and that is the correct path. i follow and see blender.exe click it and it opens.
So the path isn't the problem it seems

For first, to check, add the following extremely simple Image meter, to open belnder. I'm curious if this does work:

Code: Select all

[MeterBlender]
Meter=Image
SolidColor=255,0,0
X=0
Y=0
W=25
Y=25
LeftMouseUpAction=["#Group1Launcher2Action #"]
This gonna add a red rectangle to the upper left corner of your skin. If you click it, it should open belnder. If it does properly, please let me know, if it doesn't, replace the LeftMouseUpAction option with LeftMouseUpAction=["C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\blender.exe"].
So does work any of the above two LeftMouseUpAction option?
