Re: Scheduler type 'startup' only run once per Windows session?

I've now been able to pinpoint this problem (i.e. commands scheduled for "startup" are not run) to when
PowerPro is restarted after crashing. That means that when PPro is closed normally by shutting down the
system or closing it manually, evertything works fine, but when it crashes and I manually restart it, it
won't run any startup commands (at least on my system). Can anyone confirm this?

My monitor list now picks this up and runs the startup script belatedly so that I can avoid any error
messages, but I think this would still be worth fixing if possible.

Thanks

Phil

After crashing and before restarting, do you first check the task 
manager (ctrl+alt+del) and make sure there are no powerpro.exe processes 
still showing? If there are, you should kill each one before restarting 
powerpro. Sometimes there is more than one due to some plugin 
activities. That might fix your issue.

Sheri

Re: 'TRAY' list conflict with adobe 10, and loss of right-click fxn

If I do either of your suggestions, the function returns until I use adobe or open a browser window. 

so I have un-installed adobe-x 

I am not a fan of their software overall anyway. I will install reader-9

Thanks,

but I thought you would want to know if this kluge is otherwise mentioned by someone else.

Re: 'TRAY' list conflict with adobe 10, and loss of right-click fxn


This indicates it is a bug in their software with respect to interacting with other programs which use
window hooks.

Thanks for the warning to avoid adobe reader x

Re: How to crash PP


My guess is you have reg.error_dialog_off() in some startup script somewhere, and reg stays loaded
forever after.  Possible?  If not, I'll go check reg.enum_keys error logic.

Remember rg_status always has error message even if error dialogs don't show.

I'll investigate. Thanks, Sheri!

Dual tooltip problem

When I move the mouse pointer over my PPro bar in Total Commander, TC's native tooltip does not disappear and
I get two tooltips - one from the bar (blank in the screenshot) and TC's own. See here:

http://img17.imageshack.us/i/dualtooltip.jpg/

Any ideas for a remedy?

Thanks!

why won't this contextif statement work?

Hey, y'all, I am trying to make a pp bar show up if the active window is notepad++ and it has .ahk in the title bar
(there is an ahk file open in the window, so it displays the file in the title bar)

I have this code in the top of a bar's commandlist.
Why doesn't this work?

contextif (win.exename("active,nodialog") == "Notepad++" && win.caption("active,nodialog")=="*.ahk*")

I tried this too:
contextif (win.exename("active","nodialog") == "notepad++" && win.caption("active","nodialog")=="*.ahk*")

If I use context instead of contextif, this does work:
context *.ahk*,nodialog

Any clues?
Thanks!

win.caption returns a full caption string which is likely never equivalent to asterisk dot ahk asterisk.

As it turns out I have raiseErrors=0 in reg.ini. Otherwise the plugin raises errors that are not critical in
my usage.

I suspect it was not the reg plugin that caused a crash for Brother Gabriel-Marie. The script was likely
using the erroneous return further down the line.
