Sorry Dave! Spoke too soon...

The 'experiment' is was successful! ... until unloaded and loaded ... crashed ... had debug logging on, but no debug info in the log on restart.

Let's see if StArL0rd84 is having any problem, it may be a problem on my system... :???:

Thanks for looking into this!

D'oh. let me know if you can manage to catch anything in the log file to help narrow it down.

I will try to catch any log entries and let you know, but so far with nothing else loaded, nothing is being saved in the log when it crashes; 3 crashes...3 restarts show just the basic Rainmeter startup info.

Is it crashing every time you try to load the skin now? Or does it only crash after loading and then unloading/reloading?

If it's not crashing on the initial load, you should definitely be getting a bunch of log output with Debug logging enabled. Should look like this:

Yes, every time I try to load it... :welcome:

Re-installed, loaded your capture {Anonymity Image Activated}

On refresh, crashes...
EDIT: If I restart Rainmeter, it will load fine... no crash, it crashes if I refresh or if I unload/load it crashes on loading.

You know Dave, this tells me I need take a look at my camera setup, maybe something is going on with that (it's almost as old as me! :p )

So much for my anonymity! I forgot to remove the .bmp from the skin dir before packaging. Updated on the latest one. ;)

No log output at all, even when it initially loads?

Um, doesn't that say exactly what I said? "Rainmeter won't replace the plugin if the version number is the same."

Note that I used a double negative in that first post!

It works now. No crashes :thumbup:

Also tested ImageTint and MaskImage, no issues.

Code: Select all

[meterVC]
Meter=IMAGE
ImageName=#CURRENTPATH#frame.bmp
DynamicVariables=1
W=256
H=100
PreserveAspectRatio=2
ImageTint=255,0,98,180
MaskImageName=#CURRENTPATH#mask.png
