FileView Help [SOLVED] added Template skin

[sl23]

After around 7 years, I decided to give this one a go and update my current launcher to be more dynamic.
My current Launcher has 7 icons for apps and shows a meter with the name dynamically depending on the icon hovered.

I'm trying to adapt the example code from the manual, having gotten quite far, I am now stuck as for some reason I can't get ToolTips to show correctly:

Code: Select all

[IconStyle]
AntiAlias=1
LeftMouseDoubleClickAction=[!CommandMeasure m#CURRENTSECTION# "FollowPath"][!UpdateMeasure mPath][!UpdateMeasureGroup Children][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
ToolTipText=%1
X=25r
Y=5

[mIndex1Name]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FileView
Path=[mPath]
Type=FileName
Index=1
Group=Children

[mIndex1]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=FileView
Path=[mPath]
Type=Icon
IconSize=#IconSize#
Index=1
Group=Children

[Index1]
Meter=Image
MeasureName=mIndex1
MeasureName2=mIndex1Name
MeterStyle=IconStyle
ToolTipText="%1"
X=5
Y=5

I can't understand why it's showing the actual name of the Firefox.lnk file, mIndex1Name, in the About/Skins window, but when I hover the icon, I get the full\path\to\icon1.ico instead.

What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks

Sorry, my error! Just noticed it!

Is this the correct way to set a Variable's value?
[!SetVariable Index "[m#CURRENTSECTION#Icon:Index]"]

EDIT: I found the Section Variables in the manual!
Is there any way of dynamically changing the Index of a FileName Measure on MouseOver/Leave?

If anyone is interested, here's the final launcher code I will be using.

If you create a skin from it, just add a new folder in the skins folder called "Shortcuts" and place any .lnk files to your apps or anything in there.

On hovering the background, all icons will show, then hover an icon to show a meter that displays the current shortcut name. Scroll to show any number of icons/shortcuts/files/urls/etc.

Although this specific skin is only a template, the code has been designed for use on the Taskbar when you set position to Topmost. I will be assimilating this code into another skin with much more functionality.

After around 7 years...

Is this the correct way to set a Variable's value?

I found the Section Variables in the manual!

Fast And Furious!

Just joking, of course, hope you don't mind - other people took much longer to discover the atom or the Americas, so it's all good, better later than never.
