Re: Adding Launchers to Gnometer

Post by Jan Waslander »

I 'm afraid I don 't understand. A file called launcher.ini does not exist in the gnometer section. It does in the enigma section. Do you mean this file?: Applications-2x7 2.ini. I edited thus:

[Launcher15]
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=sIcon
ImageName=#launcher.App15icon#
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#launcher.App15path#"]
MouseActionCursor=1

[Launcher16]
Meter=IMAGE
MeterStyle=sLauncher
ImageName=#launcher.App16icon#
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#launcher.App16path#"]

and so on until 28.

variables.inc in the documents folder:

launcher.App14icon=D:\Documents\Pictogrammen\Rainmaker\png 00\SPDESIGN 001.ico
launcher.App14path=D:\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Gnometer\SETTINGS\Variables.inc

launcher.App15icon=D:\Documents\Pictogrammen\Rainmaker\png 01\Illustrator.png
launcher.App15path=C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2009\Bin\Inventor.exe

Values for 14 where allready attached by applicating settings.ini.
Values for 15 I did manually because max. applications in settings is/where 14.

Then I edited the variables.inc on C:\Program Files\Rainmeter etcetera thus:

launcher.App14icon=..\Icons\question.png
launcher.App14path=

launcher.App15icon=..\Icons\question.png
launcher.App15path=
..
launcher.App28icon=..\Icons\question.png
launcher.App28path

So I added 15..28. Out of settings.ini the maximum number of applications is still 14. Butt that is not unlogical. I presume that the values in variables.inc on C: are the initiated ones when the programma is being installed. They are changed later on using settings.ini. After editing I refreshed all.

I hope I 'm a bit clear and that you can help me out :-)

Ah, the ConfigTool only supports up to 14 shorcuts. You'll have to edit the source of the tool and compile your own version (I suggest you just edit Variables.inc in Documents manually, much easier).

And fir you infornation, don't change the skin stuff in Program Files. It does no harm, but really doesn't affect anything.

I see. So it is not possible to add over 14 shortcuts out of the settings.ini. I wonder the following. Settings.ini:

[SettingsAppLaucher]
Meter=STRING
MeterStyle=sTextL
X=320
Y=60
Text="> Applicaties"
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#CURRENTPATH#ConfigTool.exe" /a=page /v=6]
MouseActionCursor=1
Group=Item | Settings
Hidden=1

I understand that ConfigTool attaches the variables to the values that the user gives to them by using settings.ini. Therefore I was looking for the sourcecode of ConfigTool because I presume(d) that is the key to 'my problem'. I changed the 'skin-stuff', as you call it, back to it's original state.

Anyway. The 'problem' regarding the max. 14 shortcuts is not that important. I can configure gnometer now as I initially wanted. Thanks again for helping me out. I really appreciate it as well as Rainmeter which I really enjoy :D
