Problem with WeatherComCodes

[pbutler6]

It's an old folder for my first attempt to add a settings menu. I do not reference it in my shin. I just deleted it and reloaded my skin. The problem remains.

I'm starting to get confused. You might try running a cmd window, changing to the folder containing the skin you are actually running, and do this:

tree /f

Code: Select all

C:\Users\JSMorley\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Weather.com>tree /f
Folder PATH listing for volume WindowsSSD
Volume serial number is 448E-EFAA

Paste the result here inside code tags, and lets see where things really are...

Here are details for my skin folders:

Then why don't I see [Sun & Moon] as a loaded Active=1 "config" in the image of Rainmeter.ini you posted?

[pbutler6]

Sun & Moon si further up:

Code: Select all

[Northeast Radar]
Active=1
WindowX=634
WindowY=87
ClickThrough=0
Draggable=1
SnapEdges=1
KeepOnScreen=1
AlwaysOnTop=0
[Weather & Sky]
Active=1
WindowX=313
WindowY=61
ClickThrough=0
Draggable=1
SnapEdges=1
KeepOnScreen=1
AlwaysOnTop=0
[Sun & Moon]
Active=2
WindowX=2018
WindowY=61
ClickThrough=0
Draggable=1
SnapEdges=1
KeepOnScreen=1
AlwaysOnTop=0
[Clock-Screen1]
]

I don't know how to comp the cmd output as code

This is not that hard to debug.

Code: Select all

ContextAction5=[!Log "I'd like to activate the skin at: #CURRENTCONFIG#\WeatherComCodes\WeatherComCodes.ini"][!ActivateConfig "#CURRENTCONFIG#\WeatherComCodes" "WeatherComCodes.ini"]

Simply change the context menu to look like that, then refresh the skin and select the context menu item.

Go to About / Log

Right click and copy the log entry that will look something like:

Right click and copy the log string and paste it here:

Could it be that the !ActivateCongfig bang doesn't like my ampersand in Sun & Moon?

Ok. The only other thing that is sticking in my craw a bit is the fact that the [Sun & Moon] config in Rainmeter.ini says Active=2. That means that there are at least two skin .ini files in the root config folder for the skin, and it is loading the second one in that folder alphabetically. I don't see anything in the "tree" that you posted that indicates that. I'm really just don't follow how you have things laid out, and what is actually being run from where.

[eclectic-tech]

Interjection: I would use #RootConfig# instead of #CurrentConfig#; the values should be the same in this case, but this will force the bang to use the topmost folder of the current config to avoid any confusion.

Try

Code: Select all

ContextTitle5=#ChooseLocation#
ContextAction5=[!ActivateConfig "#ROOTCONFIG#\WeatherComCodes" "WeatherComCodes.ini"]

Edit: I NEVER use spaces or special characters in my skin names; it is asking for headaches when you try to reference them... just my opinion.
