Suggestion/request for statistics handling

Post by Scolex »

I would like to see statistics stored in a file that is separate from Rainmeter.ini
or a way to automatically transfer current stats to a new theme.

The reason being is I use themes frequently but any time I load a new theme all
of the stats are from when the theme was saved. That is not a big deal right now
but in the near future I will be moving and the ISP that I will be using in the new
location has a bandwidth cap. I would like to continue to use my network skin to
monitor bandwidth usage and set it to reset stats based on billing cycle.
All of that is easy enough but I will not be able to use themes anymore without
going in and copying stats over before loading an alternate theme.

We've talked about having a separate file (in addition to Rainmeter.ini) to store statistics and user-specific settings. This is probably something that'll be done at some point, but for now we could probably modify Rainstaller and RainThemes to preserve stats on theme change.
