Returning to a tab?

[polarprott]

I'm rather new to rainmeter and have a quick question (I'm running enigma if that matters), when i launch chrome it gives me a whole new window, is there anyway i could get it to return me to my tab, like minimizing... all help is appreciated.

there is not much Rainmeter can do as long Chrome does not have a single instance option.

but here is a workaround:

you need RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe from this package: http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/84802

then change the Enigmas setting to

Code: Select all

path\to\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe path\to\chrome.exe

Thank you, ill give a try, but where would i put that information in the enigma files?

Thank you, ill give a try, but where would i put that information in the enigma files?

In Enigma\@Resources\User\Options.inc. Example:

Code: Select all

App1Path="path\to\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe" "path\to\chrome.exe"

thanks again, ill give that a try

[polarprott]

okay, hit a wall here, i went through the steps and went into the options in @resources in the enigma folder and put "path\to\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe" "path\to\chrome.exe" and it hasnt resolved my problem, i must be missing something small because ive done trial and error over and over and no result...

Does anything happen when you try to run the program, or nothing at all?

And can you tell us the exact paths you're using for RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe and chrome.exe?

[polarprott]

this is what i'm seeing:
;-----------------------
; APPS

App1=Chrome
App1Path=chrome.exe
App1PathHandle=chrome.exe
App1Label=WEB
App1Icon=#@#Images\Launcher\Chrome.#ColorImage#.png

:So i filled the app1 with path\to\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe and then filled app1path with path\to\chrome.exe

when i tried to open runormaximizeprogram it tells me no arguments passed
sorry if i'm being a pain, never done this before, thanks for the help.

Just to make it clear: You're not supposed to literally put "path\to\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe" in there. You're supposed to replace it with the actual path to that file (like "C:\Program Files\RunOrMaximizeProgram\RunOrMaximizeProgram.exe").

oh jesus, lol, thank you- guess ill try that
