[Solved] Question for the experts

Post by CyberTheWorm »

I'm making up a skin that will monitor all drive on a computer and automatically add the measure if the drive is there or hide it if it not, for example plugging in a USB disk.

My question, is it better to do this all in 1 skin, which I'm doing or would it be better to do it in a different way like lua?

I think I'd just do it in one skin. I don't see that Lua adds a lot of value to this.

Just have measures and meters for drives C-Z and then hide / show them as needed.
