avoid rainmeter.ini autosave
Posted: May 9th, 2022, 7:50 pm
I wonder if there is a workaround for this issue.
I use rainmeter skin on a second monitor connect to my pc. Sometimes it can happen that or the second monitor is turned of or due too main monitor resolution changes, rainmeter does not detect in time the presence of the second monitor: in this case, rainmeter renders the whole skins to firtmonitor.
As UNFORTUNATLY rainmeter has autosave feature of rainmeter.ini, suddendly the skins position is overwritten with a randomic one on the main monitor and the original rainmeter.ini is lost.
I have tried to set "only readable file" option in windows for rainmeter.ini but as soon as I start rainmeter, an error messege is invoked saying that the file is not writable (and this is quite annoying).
So the only work around is to have a backup copy of rainmeter.ini and in such case that the issue is triggered i have to
close rainmeter
delete the rainmeter.ini wrongly saved
restore the backup ok rainmeter.ini
restart rainmeter
do you have any suggestion to avoid at least autosave or even better keep loading skins in the same position even if the second monitor is not present ?
