Refresh another config with !Refresh

[CustomKal]

So i'm on the 2.1 RC client so I don't use RainmeterRefresh in case anyone thinks thats the issue.

The problem I'm having is probably the pathing to the config but I'm not sure.
The code I'm using is:

Command2=!Execute [!Refresh "#CURRENTCONFIG#"][!Refresh "#SKINSPATH#sc2 menu\Notes"]

I intend to refresh the config I'm using as well as another one when enter is pressed for the inputtext plugin. It is however only refreshing the current config and not the other one.

It is however changing the variable in the other config that I'm doing it to which is using the path "#SKINSPATH#sc2 menu\notes\notes.ini". If i hit refresh manually on the skin the changes occur.

I really can't figure out why this won't work

Try reversing the order of the commands.

Code: Select all

Command2=!Execute [!Refresh "#SKINSPATH#sc2 menu\Notes"][!Refresh]

If I put just !refresh for the second it refreshes everything (which I don't want to do).

If I swap the two it doesn't fix it either. Still doesn't refresh the other config.

"Configs" do NOT have a full path on them. Just the name of the config:

[!Refresh "sc2 menu\Notes"]

THANK YOU!!!!!! I thought that skinspath had to be there, that worked though. Thanks so much!!

[Kaelri]

Well that was embarrassing. :)

Is "Command2" an InputText command? That would explain why the self-refresh doesn't work without #CurrentConfig#.

[jsmorley]

Yeah, I pretty much put #CURRENTCONFIG# on all bangs that effect the current skin. Not technically needed most of the time, but once in a while (InputText, sending something to or from an addon, some Lua scripts) it is, and I just get in the habit of using it so I don't have to scratch my head later.

Yup, I'm just creating a simple note area that has a button to edit it.

Hi all, im havng some problems with the !Refresh also, cant seem to get it work

im basically trying to refresh another skin, this is the current path:

C:\Users\Win7\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\I - INTERFACE\Main_Menu\Workspace\Monitor_2

and ive tried like 10 different ways:

[!Refresh "I - INTERFACE\WorkSpaceBlur2"]
[!Refresh "I - INTERFACE\Main_Menu\Workspace\Monitor_2\WorkSpaceBlur2"]
[!Refresh "WorkSpaceBlur2"]
[!Refresh WorkSpaceBlur2]
[!Refresh "WorkSpaceBlur2.ini"]
[!Refresh "I - INTERFACE\Main_Menu\Workspace\Monitor_2\WorkSpaceBlur2.ini"]

and wont work, the skin is on a second monitor, can that be the prob?

help?

[jsmorley]

Don't specify the full path to the config nor the name of the .ini file on the !Refresh bang. the final parameter is the "config", which is not about a full path or a specific .ini file.

!Refresh "I - INTERFACE\Main_Menu\Workspace\Monitor_2"
!Execute [!Refresh "I - INTERFACE\Main_Menu\Workspace\Monitor_2"]
