rainmeter and subfolders

Post by beachy33 »

wow what a great program, found it by accident today and spent hours trying to get a feel for the thing.
i have managed to set up some folders by changing the buttons via notepad but was wondering how i can get rainmeter to open subfolders within that folder.
i am using win7 64bit and have a folder titled with my name and then the subfolders i want to access are in there
i.e. c:\users\favourites\user\banking with banking being the subfolder

If you meant how to open a specific folder, use something like:

Code: Select all

LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["c:\users\favourites\user\banking"]

This is added to a meter. If you click on that meter, the folder will be opened.

Example:

Code: Select all

[MeterLink]
Meter=IMAGE
X=0
Y=0
W=50
H=20
SolidColor=255,0,0,128
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["c:\users\favourites\user\banking"]
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!
