that is what i read...Originally Posted by CornFlake340
since any drive will be connected as pnp after hibernation...
but if you have RR installed in writable disk...
i guess the disk has to be connected as you make a save point...
Did your code fix allow for ini saving on seperate disk? And you don't want RR saving right before or right after hibernation... you want it saving after each song played or before exit/shutdown... You'd want RR reloading all data a few momments after the hibernate sequence was done from within RR.
Would it be possible to add the same function to open/closewinamp or the skin/sdk?

Hey iPal... could you explain what you are doing exactly?
You have RR and winamp installed on the un-writable partition, and your media on a seperate drive that you connect after you make your hibernation point.. and you use the updated code to have RR and Winamp save playlist and current song info to the writable drive?
Is it working without any problems, and I didn't know you could specify where you had winamp save the playlist. If it is working, Guino, would you add the code to your working project?
yes
and i tried to keep RR running normal without specific line in RR.ini
try this and let me know...
RR+.exe
- save ini files in INI_PATH (INI_PATH need to be set in RR.ini)
RR.ini
ini_path=d:\my documents
- restore volume stored in 'resume.ini' from hibernation
(INI_PATH need to be set in writable directory also
HibernateReload and HibernateAware must be set TRUE)
- change skin automatically by time set in RR.ini
RR.ini
autoskin=true
daystart=0600
nightstart=1800
(once you change skin in skin browser, auto_skin will be disable
then once you change skin back to right skin depending on time, it will be enabled again)
- added '..' in list to go back to directory where you came from
when you go in to a item listed on 'BROWSE.RRL'
(i use BROWSE.RRL to access into CDROM then i noticed i can not go back to music folder)
- working on dynamic volume
(need to figure out how to get SPEED from FreeDrive
FreeDrive is configured to send speed value to roadrunner but not sure how to optain in RR
this is not FDSPEED showing in RR skin...)
-Man, you have no idea how much trouble you're bringing on yourself by having RR in an un-writeable partition. There are numerous amout of files being saved all the time in RR's folder.. to list a few: Mixer Presets, Mappoint data, Playlists, Settings on and on. Also, if Winamp is not on a writeable partition, many playlist functions won't work right (because winamp.m3u won't be written propperly to Winamp's folder). I honestely don't see (or don't understand) the benefits of having winamp and RR on the un-writeable partition.
-I haven't made the auto switch skin exactly because I want to see about the lat/long sunset calculation.
-You're taking away from the flexibility of BROWSE.RRL by using the ".." to return to the previous directory -- although it can always be re-adjusted by adding more BROWSE.RRL files. The way to return to your music folder is the "GO HOME" feature (Press and hold the BROWSE button).
-FD messages should come in through the COMReceive sub and should likely be parsed just like the RDSTEXT and RDSNAME messages are.. I am already planning on doing this pretty soon.

I think what iPal is trying to do is very similar to what i want myself. here's my setup.
I've got an ewf protected drive that has Windows and RR on it.
Music and winamp are on drive 2, unprotected.
We'd like it so that the resume.ini could be on the 2nd drive (as well as the other drives) so that when we reboot and the OS is reverted to the previous state, all the current settings (music status, movie status, gps status, etc.) will be reloaded.
Keep in mind, a protected drive doesn't mean that it's unwritable, just that it's changes get wiped on reboot.
My current solution is a winamp plugin that saves the song status every 5 seconds in the winamp (unprotected) directory. that way after a reboot, it still remebers where it is. it's a workaround, but it works. i just wish RR could take care of this every time it shuts down, rather than having to do it every 5 secs.
Have you considered/tried puttin RR on the UNPROTECTED drive ? basically, RR will save resume info onto its own path. If the changes it makes are lost after hibernation, then it won't be able to resume ... there are countless setting files used for saving previous states, and those just wont work on a protected drive -- besides, I'm assuming you'd have to be making a new hibernation restore point everytime a patch/update for RR comes out.

guino:
I haven't tried putting RR on the protected drive because microsoft recommends not having ANY other drives plugged in while creating a HORM resume point. I dont know how severe the risk is, but they say it could lead to data corruption due to data in the secondary HD's cache being reloaded while windows may not be in the same state.
here's the new plan, though:
I found an old 40gig drive laying around, i'm gonna play with it. i'll format it and leave it blank, then create the HORM point while the drive is installed, but with no data. that way if it gets corrupted, no big deal. only problem is, if RR is going to be on the 2nd HD (as the shell, obviously), how can i create that point with the formatted drive? i seem to be running in circles trying to get this working :\
Edit:
Just came across this site that may help us out:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...figuration.asp
It describes how to Dismount a volume thereby making it safe to create a restore point with multiple drives plugged in.
