Can't open playlist

[sl23]

I'm attempting to add several links to playlists which are registered on my system to open with Foobar. However, a L-click doesn't open the playlist, any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Code: Select all

[Variables]
; Path to your Playlists
Playlist1="D:\Documents\Music - Faves\Aphex Twin - Faves\Aphex Twin - Faves.m3u"
Playlist2=
Playlist3=
Playlist4=
Playlist5=

[sButton2]
Shape=Rectangle 0,0,10,10,50 | Extend FillAlpha | StrokeWidth 2 | Extend StrokeAlpha
FillAlpha=FillColor #Color5#
StrokeAlpha=StrokeColor 128,255,0,0

MouseOverAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# StrokeAlpha "StrokeColor 255,255,0,255"] [!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
MouseLeaveAction=[!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# StrokeAlpha ""] [!UpdateMeter *] [!Redraw] 

LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetOptionGroup Button FillAlpha "FillColor #Color5#"][!SetOption #CURRENTSECTION# FillAlpha "FillColor #Color2#"] [##CURRENTSECTION#] [!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]

ToolTipText=[##CURRENTSECTION#]
DynamicVariables=1
Group=Button | Playlist
Hidden=1
MouseActionCursor=0
UpdateDivider=-1
X=20r
Y=r

[Playlist1]
Meter=Shape
MeterStyle=sButton2
X=77
Y=8

[Playlist2]
Meter=Shape
MeterStyle=sButton2

[Playlist3]
Meter=Shape
MeterStyle=sButton2

[Playlist4]
Meter=Shape
MeterStyle=sButton2

[Playlist5]
Meter=Shape
MeterStyle=sButton2

Everything else works fine, just the playlist files won't open foobar, aren't loaded and don't play.

Thank you.

EDIT: No worries, solved it by using ["[##CURRENTSECTION#]"] in the LeftMouseUpAction.

Do not make a habit of using [##CURRENTSECTION#].

Use [#[#CURRENTSECTION]] instead.

I know it works but still, correct syntax should be prioritized.

Technically, there is nothing "incorrect" with the [##CURRENTSECTION#]. This is just a combination of the former way of writing variables and the latter, and Rainmeter is fine with that.
Practically, one might want to stick to using just the latter format for the consistency purposes.

If you say so... But it just feels wrong. Horribly wrong.

I understand what you mean. It just feels wrong, but it is not wrong. I would go simply with the new format since it offers the same functionality as the old one and even more when needed, and, as I mentioned, use it for consistency purposes.

Anything can feel wrong if it does not fit with your personal values.

Thank you for the tip. I didn't know that was an older way of doing it, I just used what worked. I will change it in all my skins.

I can see why you dislike that way of doing it, it actually makes more sense when written the other way!

Agreed. The problem with the human race is that everyone mistakenly believes they alone are right, or their way is right! Wonder where that idea came from?

They do not mistakenly believe... They just believe. Until ofc they are proved wrong. If they accept it or not that's another matter

And I don't accept [##CURRENTSECTION#]

Just because it looks wrong lmao.
