Need help with image file copy after download

What kind of error do you get?

Also i noticed your main update rate is 100 only, it can take some performance impact globally. At least for me, and usually better to go with minimum 1000 and then in the other measures and meters should control separatly those. Like with "WebParser" the "UpdateRate"

invalid image in DownloadFile folder.

It does work but after some time image download got error, that's why i add [GetWidth], [GetHeight] and [MeasureSize] measures.

Yes, but in this case an "animation" (not sure this is the best term) takes place. Related to this, see how the [MeterSeconds] Roundline acts, on each second, but even more when the second goes from 59 to 0. This is why the Update=100 is required. Normally yes, all skins using WebParser measures should have been set to the default Update=1000, this is the best approach for these skins, however if any kind of animation is involved, the default Update might be too much and has to be decreased.
However since the Update is set to a tenth second, this along with the UpdateRate=1200 option of the [Measure_PIC] measure means one update of the measure on each two minutes (120 seconds). First thing whach has to be tried out is to increase the UpdateRate of the measure to UpdateRate=12000, which gives an update on every 1200 seconds = 20 minutes. This is a completely acceptable update rate.
Does this fix the error?

invalid image in DownloadFile folder.

There are some errors on two options:

• Replace the DownloadFile option of the [Measure_PIC] measure with: DownloadFile=Earth.jpg.
• Replace the ImageName option of the [MeterClockFace] with MeasureName=Measure_PIC.

Hope this fix the invalid image download error. Does it?

Yep, i am aware of that
That is why i tried to approach kind of different method with animation updates. Such as if in Rainmeter the update is on 1000 but i need a simple fast animation, then recently i experimented with ActionTimer - loop. It took just a small impact on performance. I know this is not the best solution, but it works for me so far
Since in the skin where i implemented my animation was using only one animated effect, i thought it would be better to change the global update to 1000 in best case. I know, i changed all my elements update divided to -1, so i update them if those needed separately.

There are some errors on two options:

• Replace the DownloadFile option of the [Measure_PIC] measure with: DownloadFile=Earth.jpg.
• Replace the ImageName option of the [MeterClockFace] with MeasureName=Measure_PIC.

It makes sense, possibly the first idea should single-handedly solve the error.
I think in the [MeterClockFace] it should read and display that .jpg just fine, but i would only add an UpdateDivider=-1 to that meter, and i would update it when the Command finished copying the new image.
I don't know if my theory is useable?

Yep, I think it definitely is. Try it out.

[rbriddickk84]

Okay, i played a bit around, and looked through again everything.
-So i removed the [GetWidth], [GetHeight], [MeasureSize] and the [MeasureScript] measures.
-Then i modified the [Measure_PIC] measure to "FinishAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureRun "Run"]", and the "DownloadFile=Earth.jpg".
-Finally added to the [MeterClockFace] an "UpdateDivider=-1" parameter, and so far it works wihout any problems.

Also checked the image files date modified timestamps, and both files are modified to the new.


Here is the code-part for that:
