Help Regarding Filelist Plugin

Post by Aryacooldude »

Hello,

Is it Possible to Add Multiple Location in the Skins That use FilelistPlugin?

Like
Movie=E:\Movies; F:\Movies


Here's the Skin part I am looking to change

Code: Select all

Rainmeter]
Update=100000
Artist=minhtrimatrix

[Variables]

Path=FileListPlugin.dll
Movie=E:\Movies
Music=F:\Songs
Design=D:\Designs
Picture=D:\Pictures

[PathMovie]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=#Path#
Field=FolderPath
WildcardSearch=*.avi;*.mp4;*.mkv
FolderIndex=0
Path=#Movie#
Recursive=1

[FolderSizeMovie]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=#Path#
Field=FolderSizeStr
FolderIndex=0
Format=Dynamic

[FileCountMovie]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=#Path#
Field=FileCountStr
FolderIndex=0

[FolderCountMovie]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=#Path#
Field=FolderCountStr
FolderIndex=0

We really don't support FileList here, but I believe the answer is no.

We do however support a plugin called FileView, which is based on FileList. FileView does not support multiple folder locations in the same list either, so you will have to have 2 parents measures, 1 for each "folder" you plan on gathering information about.

Something like this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000

[Variables]
Movie1=E:\Movies
Movie2=F:\Movies

[PathMovie1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FileView
Path=#Movie1#
WildcardSearch=*.avi;*.mp4;*.mkv
Recursive=2

[PathMovie2]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FileView
Path=#Movie2#
WildcardSearch=*.avi;*.mp4;*.mkv
Recursive=2
Obviously you will have to read up on how FileView works (especially its Parent/Child structure), but I think if you have used FileList, FileView is not too difficult to use.

Thanks for the heads up! :thumbup: They Both look pretty Much Similar! Is there any chance of adding the Function in future?

For now I just gathered all movies in One Folder :D

Probably not, but you never know. It would be difficult to organize all the indices from two (or more) different sources. One of best features of FileView is the ability to traverse a folder tree for files, so making a change to grab information from more than one source would be difficult.
