EventGhost

Wow....I feel REALLY stupid right now. Let's just blame it on lack of coffee and never speak of this again.....

I've been looking through the plugins and see there is one that allows you to create custom items in the EventGhost system tray, but I'm looking to add an option to the right click menu that when selected will run a macro. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, any suggestions on an alternative? What ...

Sorry, I noticed after I took that screenshot that the disable parsing was checked. I tried with it unchecked and the variable and it still does exactly what I said in my first post. The way in the screenshot works only with the password hard-coded.

EDIT: Scratch that, I got it working using your ...

That's what I'm doing already.

I'm trying to use the following action to unlock my computer

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="1722">
<Action>
System.Execute(u'C:\\Windows\\System32\\tscon.exe', u'1 /dest:console /password:myPassworP', 0, False, 2, u'', False, True, u'', False, True, False, False ...

Wow, that seems like a lot to remember at this moment. Since I already have an edited version of my code, is there any way you could give me some feedback on how that would perform? I mean, I don't need it to be top-of-the-line code as long as it'll get the job done for this one action.

Okay, so I've taken some time to tweak my Python Script action to the following.

First Python Script Action:
import shutil
import os
import stat

def remove_readonly(func, path, excinfo):
os.chmod(path, stat.S_IWRITE)
func(path)

try:
#os.chmod is used to turn off Read-Only attribute
os ...

Is there a way for me to use the `raise ValueError` in my script so that the error that occurs in the Python Script action is logged in the EG log while the rest of the Python Script action also tries to continue? I want to be able to know if any of the commands in the python script cause an error ...

This is the result when adding the line you suggested. The OSD action did run, so I guess that means that the macro does continue to run, right? How could I incorporate that into my actual script posted in my earlier comment?

Thanks for the quick reply! I would very much like to know for sure. And if that's the case I wish there were a way to allow the macro to continue even after an error within the Python Script action. For some reason I feel like I read somewhere that Python Script actions are executed within their ...

I'm trying to to the tscon.exe application to unlock my computer from my phone. It will work when I have my password hard-coded into the command line options: 1 /dest:console /password:(my hard-coded password) (Disable parsing of string is checked).

But it won't work when I try to use a variable ...

Does anyone know if I have a Python Script in the middle of a macro and there is an Unhandled error within the Python Script will it stop the Macro from continuing or will the actions after the Python Script action still run?

The errors above seem to be telling me it does have something to do with an encoding issue. Just not sure how to make it work though, because with those first two lines I still get errors.

This is what I get when I add just the import dropbox line back at the top.

Also, the script that did nothing didn't upload any files and didn't produce and error, so I'm not sure what else it would do. But, I double-checked and the file was not uploaded to my ...

Actually, scratch that. If I start from that line nothing happens
