[BUG]Image Directory Error

Post by KreAch3R »

Hello,

I 've noticed this problem a while ago, but never gave me a proper chance to describe it. So, you have the regular weather skin, working correctly, with this weather icon meter:

Code: Select all

[MeterIcon]
MeasureName=mWeatherIcon
Meter=Image
ImageName=Weather\%1
X=120
Y=15
Antialias=1
If you take a look at the log, though, you get this, every time you refresh it:
Image

The error isn't permanent, is one-time-per-refresh only.

If you copy the Weather icons in the same directory as the .ini, and use this:

Code: Select all

[MeterIcon]
MeasureName=mWeatherIcon
Meter=Image
ImageName=%1
X=120
Y=15
Antialias=1
The error isn't replicated. I guess the error is triggered because the measure hasn't got a value yet, from Webparser, but then why it doesn't get triggered if I change directory?

I even try to implement the approach of "Extra Operation in Calc" workaround, but if that's the answer, I didn't do it very well. :)

If I have to give it a timeframe, I 'd say I 've noticed it since the 2.2. betas.

maybe this will help :)

Code: Select all

[MeterIcon]
MeasureName=mWeatherIcon
Meter=Image
ImageName=%1
Path=Weather\ ; or full path to images
X=120
Y=15
Antialias=1

Yes it does. :) I haven't used the Path Key ever before. So, if it isn't a bug, consider the matter solved. :)

I know this. :)

I had the absolute same problem and now it's solved. Thanks KreAch3R and Faradey.

Using Path= doesn't solve the problem for me. Even if I give the WebParser some default value for errors it doesn't use that default value (probably because it just doesn't have a value yet and nothing went wrong). I don't know if you can really call this a bug though because the image actually doesn't exist when it's loaded the first time. I think it should be looked into though, because it's not pretty and it happens very commonly (everybody and his mother uses a weather skin).
Have more fun creating skins with Sublime Text 2 and the Rainmeter Package!

MerlinTheRed
can you give an example code or better to show code where you have this issue?
i'm sure there is an answer or some workaround :)

here you go)
try use this instead

Code: Select all

[MeterCCIcon]
Meter=IMAGE
MeasureName=CCIcon
Path=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#Metro\Resources\weather\
ImageTint=#PrimeColor#
X=10
Y=10
W=60
H=60
LeftMouseUpAction=http://www.weather.com/weather/today/#Location#
in this case ImageName=%1.png is not necessary

The error appears running your code, indeed. Removing the .png extension solves the problem, though. I think Rainmeter defaults to .pngs when there is no extension on ImageName=, that's why it works.

UPDATE: Faradey was faster. :) I tried with a "%1.jpg", and the error occured. This only solves the problem when we are using .pngs. So maybe we should treat it as a bug.

KreAch3R
ImageName=%1.jpg
+Path
or
ImageName=%1.png
+Path
=error
but if
ImageName=%1
+Path
when no extentions were setted Rainmeter will search for pngs by default, and when not found any will use some sort of default transparent layer, i guess that is why no error occurred...
