Variables.inc Error

Post by ELiiXiiR »

I'm using a Variables.inc file to make customizing my skins easy however when I use directories it does not work, even without spaces (I know to use quotations in the event of spaces). However when I use the exact same directory in the actual <skin>.ini file, it works every time.

For Example

<Skin.ini>

Code: Select all

[Variables]
@Include=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#\Variables.inc

[APP5]
Meter=Image
ImageName=#launcher.App5icon#
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute [#launcher.App5path#]
Group=APPGROUP2
AntiAlias=1
Hidden=1
Greyscale=0
x=225
y=20
w=60
h=60
<Variables.inc>

Code: Select all

launcher.App5path=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#\#Skin#\Shortcuts\APP5.lnk
launcher.App5icon=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#Icons\APP5ICON.png

#ROOTCONFIGPATH# already has a trailing backslash (like all built-in variables that return a path).

Use @Include=#ROOTCONFIGPATH#Variables.inc

This didn't change anything, and I already knew that it had a trailing backslash but it never made a difference I think it has something to do with how the directory is written but I can't see any errors in it.

NOTE: I've got working launchers running out of the same Variables.inc file so it must be this directory alone.

I think it's best if you post the entire skin (or a minimal example that reproduces the problem). I'd be especially interested in where that #Skin# variable comes from.

The #Skin# variable automatically detects the Skin Variant so if you have two different variants with similar directories, the skin will automatically detect which one according to the folder that the skin in placed.

Re: Variables.inc Error

Post by MerlinTheRed »

I didn't check everything concerning includes yet, but there are a few other things I want to say.
  • You've got a typo in there: !Hidemetter
  • ValueReminder only works because a Rainmeter dev made a typo one day. You should use ValueRemainder.
  • !Execute is not needed any more in the newest Rainmeter version.
  • Don't write stuff into an ini file that is not valid rainmeter syntax. I'm talking about the decoration text you use to separate meter groups. You should add a semicolon to the start of each of those lines to mark them as a comment so rainmeter doesn't even try to read it and can't get confused. Better be on the safe side.
  • Your [Word] launcher has an exclamation mark where none should be: [!#launcher.App5path#]. Perhaps that's the source of your problem?
Here is your code with all those things changed:

I would like to know where this #SKIN# variable is defined. I think I missed it, if it is located in there.

Thanks for the help I figured that I put a "!" where one was not needed, everything else, yeah you do make valid points and thanks for fixing that up but it hasn't affected the skins so far but I will most definitely use them in future skins, expect an upload for this skin soon, I've been told it looks awesome.

Normally it doesn't affect skins because Rainmeter tends to just ignore stuff it can't make sense of. If one day however you put something in there Rainmeter can make sense of, you might run into problems that are not easy to pin down.

Alright, I'll take that into consideration, thanks :D

Just one last quick question, if I wanted to include a directory such as downloads would I have to use a variable that automatically detected the logon username or would I have to use a single like directory such as

Code: Select all

::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
