Having a quick look at the way RR handles the Indicator codes with regards to extensions, it looks like the plugin has to return one of the following

'false' - if the indicator is not processed by this plugin
'true' - if it is and it's to be changed to true.
path to graphic file - if it's to show a graphic.

Now if a plugin returns anything other than 'true' or 'false' that indicator path will take on that value as it's path.


so if a plugin has been written that doesn't have the line

ReturnIndicator = "False" as a default for when it doesn't process it, it will mess that indicator and anyone else's indicator up.

Also another possibility.

If the value of IND is changed in the plugins indicator routine, that will also change the name of the indicator that RR will look for.

I'm looking at the source from 26 Oct 2007, which on deeper invetigation shouldn't be affected by this, so I can only suppose that something has been changed in the source code since then.

This is what I thought that ending thoughts were on the disscution between me,sonic, and guino. My plugins have always left that line just as it says in the comment directly above the line "ReturnIndicator="false".

Actually, Blue made a fantastic Plugin Manager for me for use in the DFX skin. It can turn on and off the plugins from within the skin, and saves the X, lines to an include file. Then all that is needed is X,PluginManager in the menu.skin.

The only problem, and not a fault of BLue's plugin, is they are simply in alphabetical order. There is no way for it to know what plugins are friendly, not friendly, need to be at the bottom, if there are 2 fighting to be at the bottom and loaded last ect....

So, what do we do to fix it?

Are we to now assume that there will be an official release instead of all these beta's floating around?

this order works for me:

/, X, Extension Name
X,powermon
X,RRStrings
X,Mp3Art
X,rrgas

but... that's really just a temporary solution...

Well I think Guino needs to be made aware of my theory, and if it's true make the neccesary changes, however his time is mimited at the moment and there are quite a few 'quirks' at the moment.

Going back to an older version (12th October) but then you lose the weather and any other enhancements that are more recent updates.

How about getting the changes to Mitchjs and have them included in his latest beta. His "soon to be released" beta seems to incorporate most of the latest updates (I think he and Guino have an arrangement.)

Well I don't know what has changed since October/November last year to cause the indicator problem as the last source I have access to is Novembers, so I can't advise of the changes to be made.

However if Mitchjs is working from that one then the indicators won't be broken and need fixing.

Wow Enforcer, that's awesome!

I am guessing this will be incorporated into the next DFX release, John?
