EventGhost

well, I have Max OS X 10.7 Lion, with Parallels installed and Win7 under that. I will install Eventghost in the weekend and see how that works.

try installing Parallels, then install Windows and Eventghost.
Haven't actually tried it myself, but it sounds like it should work.

I'm looking for a way to use an incoming mail as a trigger or event for EventGhost.
Based on subject or content, I would like to start different macros.
Is there a way to do this?

I am using the File Operations plugin to write data to files, but would like to be able to write directly into a MySQL table.
Is there a plugin for this?

OK, I was able to add a second serial port.
Now how can I send data into a specific port, number 1 or number 2?

Edit: forget that I asked, I noticed the serialport-2 after restarting EG.
Works llike a charm!

I would like to control more than one device on a serial port through EventGhost. Each device attaches through USB, with its own unique COM-port.
Can I have multiple instances of the serial port plugin?

you can start any macro manually, or via a timer in the autostart.

Is there a way to pass variables to the payload of the triggered event?

I'm trying to run a "convert-to-mpg" program when Vista Media Center records a show, but I have to wait until the show is done recording before converting it. So, I'm using directory watcher to see when a 'dvr-ms' file is ...

Not sure if this is a bug, or a non-existing feature.
I have used OSD to display hard coded messages and that works OK.
Now I want to display a value from an EG variable, such as {eg.event.string}.
Doesn't work, the variable name shows up on the screen, not the value.
Is this the way it was ...

I gave up when I found out I can do just what I want with the File Operations plugin, using variable eg.event.string and writing that to a file.

I did notice, however, that the filename has to be filled in as a "real" filename.
I tried assigning the name to a global variable and use that in the ...

Hi, maybe something like this can help you

Before I start, apologies for being new to this Python stuff... :-)

I created a macro with the Python script as you provided, and EG gives me this at startup:

Error compiling script.
Traceback (most recent call last) (1076):

Something goes wrong when checking for the current day of the week

I have also noticed this on very rare occasions and thought it was something I caused myself (most of the time when I played with EG configurations and added some new plug-in or so)

Anyway, I'm looking for another way to check the ...

I've been using scheduler now for some time, and today I get these error lines after a fresh start of EG:

Best regards, Walter

Silly question perhaps, but where do I find core.py? I've got lots of py files in the installation file, but no core-py!

I've been playing around with the file operations plugin, and would like to write some data to a file.
One of my events comes from a micro processor, and after the event identifier it carries some data that I need to log.
I suspected a variable "payload" or "input", or something alike, but no luck ...
