[Suggestion] Rainmeter.stats by adapter name instead of number?
Posted: April 12th, 2016, 11:20 am
Sorry for bringing this up again, but I thought I'd throw it up against the wall again to see if anything sticks for v4.0...
Any chance of changing the Rainmeter.stats file (and internal use of this file) so that it records the cumulative network in/out values by adapter name instead of by number? This would complement the Interface=Best/"adapter name" interface usage for the NetIn/NetOut/NetTotal/SysInfo measures. It will also be more accurate if/when a new adapter shows up and changes the indexes around; I get virtual adapters showing up occasionally and it throws off the cumulative totals when this happens due to shifting the adapter index numbers.
So, maybe instead of this:
We could have this:
With this, the cumulative NetIn/NetOut/NetTotal measures will always be correct regardless of any adapter configuration changes. And Rainmeter would at last be totally consistent across all the SysInfo/Net measures with respect to using adapter names and/or "Best".
