Need to initialize the variable for max disk space Error

[thefather10x]

Hey i am a noob at this since i only installed it yesterday, and i wanted to make a % for free disk space. I got an error that i wanna get rid of it.

The error is it's giving me this:

Calc: #Infinity somewhere! in [MeasureProcentageFull1]

it gives me the error two times.
i dunno what other info is needed.

I need to initialize the variable that stores my max disk space.
It works alright but it gives me an error right when it initializes, after the bytes are red it's ok but it just gives me an error and i wanna get rid of it.

code here:

Code: Select all

[measureTotalDisk1]
; This measure returns the total disk space
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#disk1#
Total=1
UpdateDivider=120

[measureUsedDisk1]
; Returns inverted value of free disk space (i.e. used disk space)
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#disk1#
InvertMeasure=1
UpdateDivider=120

[MeasureTotalnr1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=measureTotalDisk1
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureTotalDisk2]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#disk2#
Total=1
UpdateDivider=120
Substitute="0":'1'

.......

[MeasureProcentageFull1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasureTotalnr1-MeasureUsednr1)/MeasureTotalnr1) *100
DynamicVariables=1

i hope somebody can help!

Hard to say. The measure [MeasureUsednr1] that is referenced in your formula does not exist anywhere in the skin sample you sent, so I just get "Calc: "MeasureUsednr1" is unknown in [MeasureProcentageFull1]" errors once a second.

In general though, you need to be aware that all measures in Rainmeter are set to "0" when a skin is first loaded or refreshed, and don't contain a value until the second update cycle of the skin. So you need to be careful about "divide by zero" errors in formulas. Not sure that is what you are seeing, but I can't replicate your error.

wow quick reply i think i forgot to paste these in but like i said it gives me an error just as u said divide by 0 and only for 2 cycles

this is the adition to the code and bot is the rest so u can see what's going on it's just a test i'm trying to make my own skin and trying to figure out the basics.

Code: Select all

[MeasureTotalnr1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=measureTotalDisk1
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureUsednr1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=measureUsedDisk1
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureProcentageFull1]
Measure=Calc
Formula=((MeasureTotalnr1-MeasureUsednr1)/MeasureTotalnr1) *100
DynamicVariables=1

:whole code i think should work

i think i missed some variables but it should work if the colours r changed

That code in the bottom box works just fine for me, and the only error I get is for the missing background image I don't have. What version of Rainmeter are you on?

[thefather10x]

2.2
i can post a ss if u want of the error. it worked fine for me to but after i restarted rainmeter it popped that error like i said it's only when i refresh it one time

[jsmorley]

You might try the 2.3 beta at http://rainmeter.net and see if that makes any difference.

[thefather10x]

well i upgraded and no more error thx

i thought the beta still had bugs i wanted a stable one

There are no existing bugs in 2.3 beta that I am aware of, should mostly be some small additions / changes going forward until we release 2.3.
