Standalone Stacks in rainmeter

[nokmanoks20]

I really can't get Standalone Stacks to work. I use Rainmeter 1.2 (The one with Gnometer) on 32bit Vista Starter SP2.

I know the code is:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["Location of Standalone stacks i.e. C:\Standalone Stacks 2\StandaloneStacks2.exe" Name of Stack]

but when I click the meter, it shows the loading circle but that's it. It doesn't show the stack.

[maminscris]

the stack must exist only in standalonestack2
second

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["C:\Standalone Stacks 2\StandaloneStacks2.exe" Name of Stack"]

Its still the same.

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["C:\Program Files\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe" Games"]

Dude, nothing happened. It still looks as if it was loading but it doesnt show.

If that is the exact code you are using, you are missing a quote before Games. It should be like this:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["C:\Program Files\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe" "Games"]

[nokmanoks20]

Still the same. o.o.

Code: Select all

LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["C:\Program Files\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe" "Games"]

It just shows that it's loading but then stops after a second or two.

Got it
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [G:\Softuri\Programe\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe "Pictures"]

Got it
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [G:\Softuri\Programe\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe "Pictures"]

In general, I find it advisable to put quotes around the application name and the parameters. While you have no white space in your path to the application above, I find it a good practice to just always use them so you are not scratching your head on some other path that does. Also, get in the habit of using LeftMouseUpAction instead of LeftMouseDownAction unless you have some good reason why you never want to be able to drag the skin when clicking and holding on that area.

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["G:\Softuri\Programe\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe" "Pictures"]

I know this, but to standalonestack2 does not like the version with "" I have try them all this is the only that worked [G:\Softuri\Programe\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe "Pictures"]

LOL, I think my computer sucks because I tried everything you all told me and it still doesnt work.

I tried:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe" "Games"

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe" Games"

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe "Games"

I don't know how it worked on your computer but it doesn't work on mine, and also, the last one doesn't even load the StandAloneStack2.exe

might be

on my work computer works only this
["C:\Prooooogramis\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe" Pictures"]

on my home computer only
[G:\Softuri\Programe\standalonestack2\StandaloneStack2.exe "Pictures"]

if you sent the stack on desktop right click on it, and view the path or target (it will have the name of stack at the end), try with that
