Hi, need some help here. Created a mac looking dock for xWidget. Everything works fine but I can't get the running indicator working. Used the %IsRunningIndicator tag for my indicator image but it doesn't appear. Not sure whats wrong. Would appreciate if someone could take a look at it. Dock file is attached. thanks!

There should be a problem with [ShortCutCore]: i tested with all possible [Tags] and none of them works; i have tested output in code and here's the results: %Running //Exist (always print: false) (No matter shortcut is [Running] or [Not Running]) ${Running} //Not exist (print: ${Running}) %IsRunningIndicator //Not exist (print: %IsRunningIndicator) ${IsRunningIndicator} //Not exist (print: ${IsRunningIndicator}) |

Have you got this box ticked ? Shortcutcore - Core Settings - Enabled Running State Monitor |

I tested the %Running tag on my own widget and it worked OK returning True or False when the shortcut is running or not. I ran your widget that uses the %IsRunningIndicator tag to show or hide the indicator.png and it works fine as it should. Sorry that doesn't help.. Also you may want to untick the checkbox - icon - position & size - autosize. When you drag the link to the image it explodes to its full size. Maybe this is hiding the indicator. |

ok, i found what is the problem: (thanks to meme for his tips) it doesn't work without drag&drop; this means that the settings you enter in the core setting for shortcut path doesn't effect so there is a bug in [ShortCutCore] ==================== to make your widget work you should do these: 1. enable [Enabled DragDrop] (check the enabled DragDrop box in each core) >this is one of the problems; without it, it doesn't work 2. enable [Can Focused] in each indicator (in the right sidebar: goto Attributes>Others>[Can Focused] >this was the another problem; if not checked only works when you enter the mouse to the widget 3. use [%IsRunningIndicator] tag in your indicator images ==================== and here's the working version of widget: mac_dock_[test2]_[2014.02.09].xwp [77.01 KiB] Downloaded 334 times ==================== and a question: how did you create 2 Image Objects with the same name (indicator)? did you do this using Designer or in TextEditor? i don't know about it, but this may cause problem in the future |

I'm trying to get a "running indicator" for "my PC". The problem I'm running into is that explorer.exe runs all the time as part of the system as a process (win8.1 pro). Any thoughts of how to ignore process and just pick up the running apps? |

I've built a small menu system for my windows 8.1 machine and would like to include running indicators to tell me the program is running. I have a menu item called "Explorer" which opens windows file explorer. the short cut runs "explorer.exe". Does this help or make sense? |
