External GPS - Running the Program multiple times

Purplxd · 10-30-2005, 02:17 PM

Hello,

I'm using RR and I love it!

I'm having a bit of an issue though. I use an External GPS program known as iGuidence.

It open and runs correctly, however, when I minimize it to say.. play MP3s, then click on the GPS icon to return to it again, it opens a new instance of iGuidence.

Is this a known issue? If so, how do I fix it.

If not, can I get this added to the next patch release?

Cheers!
Aaron

what skin are you using?
This shouldnt happen, many peeps here use IG (including me) and it never opens twice on my machine.
Can you post the code used in whatever skin your using that opens your GPS.

you most likely have the wrong window name setting in RRConfig, which makes RR look for the wrong window and since it doesn't find it, it tries to launch it everytime you press the button...

I'm using a modified BMV2 skin.

Hmm, I'll take a look at the code, but I didn't change anything.

Got it, you were right, I had the wrong window name.

Works perfect now! Thanks so much!
