[solved] !ActivateConfig Giving Warning, How to Workaround?

[CodeCode]

Hello,

I have a fairly basic code segment. It is ActivatingConfig depending on a variable. Like THis:

Code: Select all

[VisualToggleO]
Meter=Shape
Shape=Rectangle 154,292,54,54,26 | StrokeWidth 0 | Fill 0,0,0,1
LeftMouseUpAction=[!SetVariable Beta "(abs((#Beta#-1)%2))"][!WriteKeyValue Variables Beta "[#Beta]" "#@#MainVariables.inc"][!SetVariable Minimal "(abs((#Minimal#-1)%2))"][!WriteKeyValue Variables Minimal "[#Minimal]" "#@#MainVariables.inc"][!Update]
DynamicVariables=1
Hidden=#ModeP#

[MeasureMode]
Measure=Calc
IfCondition=(#Beta# = 1)
IfTrueAction=[!ActivateConfig "Utopia Sound\Beta Sound Clock" "BetaSoundClock.ini"][!SetVariable BetaOn "1"][!WriteKeyValue Variables BetaOn "[#BetaOn]" "#@#MainVariables.inc"][!Update]
IfCondition2=(#Minimal# = 1)
IfTrueAction2=[!ActivateConfig "Utopia Sound\Beta Sound Clock" "Cover Wizard.ini"][!Update]
DynamicVariables=1

So, it works properly, but if the skin is refreshed the warning comes up "Config already active".

Is there a way to work this out to not pass a warning?

If not, I'm happy with the functionality, its just that intrinsic warning that is 'bugging' me. Well TBH the refresh causes forces the user to click the toggle button twice until it goes fine. So, I'd like to stop that as well.



Thanks.

Ok, same as often for me I looked harder into my code with the 'fresh eyes' after a short breaktime'

This fixes that, like so:

Code: Select all

[MeasureMode]
Measure=Calc
IfCondition=(#Beta# = 1)
IfTrueAction=[!ActivateConfig "Utopia Sound\Beta Sound Clock" "BetaSoundClock.ini"][!Update]
IfFalseAction=[!DeactivateConfig "Utopia Sound\Beta Sound Clock" "BetaSoundClock.ini"][!Update]
IfCondition2=(#Minimal# = 1)
IfTrueAction2=[!ActivateConfig "Utopia Sound\Beta Sound Clock" "Cover Wizard.ini"][!Update]
IfFalseAction=[!DeactivateConfig "Utopia Sound\Beta Sound Clock" "Cover Wizard.ini"][!Update]
DynamicVariables=1

Error removed.

Hoipe this helps someone in the future.

(That is to say, not in the past - which causes thing to be unchangeable)

Ok, this fix is not working either. Testing it shoes error for the variable of Beta variable equals 1, but does not when Minimal variable equals 1. Weird.

Also since testing things got weird. Still chasing the bug...

This has been a weird trip through coding the having two configs, that were throwing a warning. Oddly enough the code before the versions above is back in use and refreshes without warning

It changes according to what mode the variable has as "on" and the image available for the button to toggle the mode back.

Just saying that, I think I have an idea.

I'm glad you got it working. But I did want to point out that your first fix would have worked, but you left out the "2" in the second IfFalseAction. That's why your "Minimal" section wasn't working.

Lieuallen is correct. Personally though, I've given up trying to account for every unwanted Rainmeter error or warning a long time ago, I just let them be and couldn't care less about them. They're good to let one know what happens while debugging, but besides that, many of them have that nagging factor I can't stand, considering that in quite a few cases, the process leading to such warnings or errors is actually intentional. Of course, one could uncheck the relevant tickboxes in the log to hide them, but that will hide the legit ones (i.e. stuff caused by actual unintentional mistakes in the code) as well.

Yes! I did finally notice that missing 2 in the conditions.

So, yes again. It is working and there are no warnings anymore.

I try to tell myself that very thing; what difference does it make if there is a one-off instance/error/Warning message. But, alas I cannot do that. There are so many ways to make all of the bangs, nesting variables, etc, work as intended.

We do what we do to prevent future errors or cycling errors in the background due to mishandling those few factors. (my short list list is not exhaustive).
