[!Delay x] bug/glitch

Post by ShadowDragon »

this bug or glitch is something weird that might be able to fix.

in my skin (under construction) I use a [!Delay x] option, this option has a weird bug or glitch


Example 1 = [!Delay "150"][!ShowMeter "Group1"] [!HideMeter "Group2"] <-- works

Example 2= [!Delay "150"] [!ShowMeter "Group1"] [!HideMeter "Group2"] <-- DOES NOT works.

Now a member here named "balala" found out that [!Delay "150"] DOES NOT work, if there is a space behind it,
but it does work when the space is gone, which in my opinion should work both ways (with or without a space).

The question to this, is this is a bug or glitch and is it able to fix it or is this made intentional?

I think that is a minor bug. We will look into it.

I actually don't recommend extra white space in Rainmeter code, but we do try to account for it and ignore it, and it certainly would be good to be consistent with that.

Thanks for reporting.

Those spaces are ignored after all bangs, excepting !Delay. As ShadowDragon said, the LeftMouseUpAction=[!Delay "150"][!ShowMeter "Group1"] option perfectly works, while LeftMouseUpAction=[!Delay "150"] [!ShowMeter "Group1"] doesn't. So far couldn't find such problem on other bangs, but obviously I didn't test all of them.
I agree with you about the uselessness of those spaces, however this looks extremely weird to me so I recommended him to post this description here.
