SKIN GetMeasure GetValue returns nil

[FerrantePescara]

I have created a measure to count the files in a specific folder.

Code: Select all

[MeasureFileCount]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FileView
Path=[MeasureImageFolder]
Type=FileCount

I can see that this works, because in about->skins, I can see the number and string for MeasureFileCount is 43.

However I now have a lua script in which I would like to retrieve this value:

Code: Select all

function Update()
	measure = SKIN:GetMeasure('MeasureFileCount')
	length = measure.GetValue()
	print(length)
end

The problem here is that it just prints out nil.

Any clues as to why this is happening?

It's:

length = measure:GetValue()

I guess that is what I get for trying to type it instead of copy pasting >.<
Totally glossed over the :
