Drag&Drop[V 3.1.3] - Drag and drop functionallity in Rainmeter, now with even more fancyness!

Hi,

thanks for this nice plugin!
I use it to call a batch file that resamples my hi-res wave files.
However, I noted a problem: the $Directory$ variable is not correct.

I drop the file "D:\My Documents\My Music\Pink.wav"
and the variables are:
$Directory$: D:\My Documents
$Name$: Pink
$Type$: wav
$File$: D:\My Documents\My Music\Pink.wav

Notice the missing "My music" directory

Command:
OnDropAction=[!log "Hey you dropped the file: $Directory$ - $Name$ - $Type$, or as i like to say $File$"]

Can you advise me?

I'm sorry for a bit of a late answer, i will look into this later when i have the time

This is probably just a small oversight on my side, but won't $File$ still work for you?
I might be wrong. If i am, please expand a bit and post some more code if possible, it makes it much easier to help

Thanks for the bug report, i will fix it when i have the time!

Hi,

thanks for your attention! I now use $file$ but in my command file (which is called upon drop) I have to disassemble it because I need the path.
Code of the plugin is:

Code: Select all

[meterTitle]
Text="Sox Resample to 44 / 16"
ToolTipText="Drop hi-res wave file to resample by Sox to 44 khz / 16 bit"

[DragNDrop]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Drag&Drop
Action=Path
; Example: 
; OnDropAction=[!log "Hey you dropped the file: '$Directory$' - '$Name$' - '$Type$', or as i like to say $File$"]
OnDropAction=!Execute ["D:\My Documents\Sox Resampling\Rainmeter Sox Resample to 44.cmd" "$File$"]

[Image]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=DragNDrop
SolidColor=128,128,128
PreserveAspectRatio=2

[MeterText]
Meter=String
MeterStyle=styleTextLeft
Y=#titleDefaultHeight#
LeftMouseDownAction=!Execute ["#1#"]
ToolTipText="Drop file to resample by Sox to 44 khz / 16 bit"
Text=Drop hi-res wave file here...

And the command file:

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

rem Take the cmd-line, remove all until the first parameter
set "params=!cmdcmdline:~0,-1!"
set "params=!params:*" =!"
set count=0

rem Extract path
for %%a in (!params!) do (
    set filepath=%%~dpa
)
cd %filepath%
... etc...

Hi,

This does not seem to allow the actual "drag" of any file.extension from say like the desktop to a meter that is a drive widget e.g. a meter that links to an external drive?

The gist I got from the first post is that is what is meant to be made possible.

From what I read this should work:

Code: Select all

[Drive 1]
Meter=String
SolidColor=0,0,0,1
X=60
Y=-15
H=115
W=115
StringAlign=Center
FontColor=#ColorZ#
FontSize=100
FontFace=Astronaut
Text="E"
LeftMouseUpAction=["E:\"]

[DragNDrop]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Drag&Drop

[Receive]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Drag&Drop
Parent=DragNDrop
Bounds=0,0,131,131
Action=Move

But it doesn't?

What's wrong here?


Thanks

Does anyone knows how to modify Circle Launcher so I can drop files to folders.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
Author=http://Lybrica.deviantart.com/
@include=#@#Variables.inc

[Image]
Meter=Button
ButtonImage=pic0_button
X=0
Y=0
LeftMouseUpAction=["E:\Pictures"]

[DragNDrop]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Drag&Drop
Action=Path
OnDroppedAction=

What I need to write to enable drop dragged files to "E:\Pictures"?

Hi Mor3bane, you need to specify a path in where the file should be moved

e.g

Code: Select all

[Receive]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Drag&Drop
Parent=DragNDrop
Bounds=0,0,131,131
Action=Move
FilePath=#@#Images

If you only want to get the file path itself then you can set the Action= Path, then you won't need a Path to the end directory.

Sorry for late answer

Edit:
Seems you were right, there were some spookyness in the functions
Download the latest version and apply my suggested changes and it should work fine

From what i understand do you want to move the files to E:\Pictures, right?

if so then you should tell the plugin to move the file dropped and give it the path to E:\Pictures

Here is a code example that should help

Code: Select all

[DragNDrop]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Drag&Drop
Action=Move
Path=E:\Pictures

This should be fixed in version 3.0.1

Thanks for update and the redistribution rar package!

I tried that. It doesn't work.
