BAR meter for disk drives

[Guntmeister]

Hi. I am fairly new to Rainmeter and slowly learning some things about skins. I am using Gnometer skin and I am doing some modifications. I have an external hard drive connected via USB in an enclosure that has a power switch. Sometimes I have the drive on, sometimes not. I have successfully created a .lua script to change the drive usage totals from numerical values to "Not Connected" depending on whether the drive is powered on or not. One thing is baffling me though - I would like the BAR meter for the drive to be empty when the drive is off, but so far I have been unsuccessful. It always shows a full bar when the drive is disconnected.
Is this possible?
Any help appreciated.

You could pipe the value through a conditional, and if the drive is disconnected you could have the conditional return the value 0.

Code: Select all

[MeasureDisk]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace

[pipe]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureDisk > 1 ? MeasureDisk : 0

Think you need to set MaxValue on that, but I'm unsure. You could convert it to a percentage ofc.

Code: Select all

[MeasureDisk]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive#

[MeasureDiskTotal]
Measure=FreeDiskSpace
Drive=#Drive#
Total=1

[pipe]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureDisk > 1 ? (MeasureDisk / MeasureDiskTotal) : 0

Thank you for your help. I added your code above (did I do it right?) and it still shows a full bar when drive is disconnected

Edit: Disk3 is the disk I am working on.

Nevermind, duh. I forgot to change the meter. It works now. Thank you very much for your help!
