4.5.11.3602

[Brian]

This pre-release build attempts to fix an issue in which certain nested variables would not get evaluated correctly. This happened specifically when an invalid variable name was nested inside another variable.

For example: [MeasureName:Function('[1]')]] where [MeasureName] measure exists, and [1] measure does not exist and is meant to be literal text sent to MeasureName.

Here is the specific topic on the issue: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?t=39874#p203773

Here is the build: https://builds.rainmeter.net/test_builds/Rainmeter-4.5.11.3598-prerelease.exe ** Edit, newest version here.

---

Nested variable syntax can be a tricky item to test, so we are asking for your help in testing this build with any skins that utilize nested variable syntax.

Thanks!

The previous fix apparently didn't quite fix some of the issues.


Here is another (hopefully final) test version for this issue.
https://builds.rainmeter.net/test_builds/Rainmeter-4.5.11.3599-prerelease.exe ** Edit, newest version here.

I will leave the previous version up in case people want to test both versions.

Thanks!

I don't have any skins that fall into the special certain cases as in the topic you have linked.
I am just testing my simple skins that simply use variables, nested variables, and 'current index section' technique that you are familiar with.

Version 3598 did not produce any errors and after some testing all my skins worked as intended.

Version 3599 produced errors where it did not suppose to :d
Even though the log was throwing a lot of errors the skins worked as intended.
However, when I was interacting with my skins I noticed some lags when making any action (hovering, clicking, opening context menu, etc.). I think it is probably due to the log being aggressive and writing a lot of entries during every action.

A very simple timer skin:

Yeah, something similar was reported here.

Although I have found the issue, and corrected it...it has also brought up yet another issue from a different piece of code. Hopefully I can get this all sorted out.

Stay tuned...

Ok....hopefully this build fixes all the reported issues with nested variable parsing....*fingers crossed*

I believe other folks have made more thorough testings, nevertheless, I just wanted to let you know that I haven't faced any issues on my end. Glad you managed to sort it out! Thank you

Thank you as always. For now everything works fine.
