Re: Directory Watcher - Copy Files

If you're just worried about the one file here's how I'd do it:


import shutil

fileName = 'myfile.ini'
workingFolder = 'D:\\temp\\'
destinationFolders = ['folder1', 'folder2']

if fileName in eg.event.payload[0].lower():
for folder in destinationFolders:
shutil.copy(workingFolder + fileName ...

Re: Directory Watcher - Copy Files

I ended up making my own script as I don't want to copy everything to the same folder for various complicated reasons but you should be able to mix and match the best from both scripts. I did some testing but couldn't recreate your issue with video files in a folder not copying over so not sure what ...

Re: Directory Watcher - Copy Files

If you still need this photosis, I expanded the logic a bit

import shutil
import os

IgnoreFileTypes = 'txt,nfo'
IgnoreFileNames = ('sample', 'ignore')
FileName = ''.join(eg.event.payload)
isFolder = os.path.isdir(FileName)
DestFolder = 'E:\\Sort\\'


def CopyFileCheck(File):
CopyFile = True
for ...

Re: Detecting automatic resume from standby vs manual

This should work for you, I had to use powercfg back in the day to figure out a sleep issue. I think powercfg needs admin access to run so you might have to fiddle with it a bit, maybe have EG run under the admin account.

You'll only need to run this once after your computer wakes to record a show ...

Re: computer status plugin, eg.globals and more

Here's the end result if anyone is interested, it's still rough, I didn't bother turning it into a real plugin with a config window since there's not much interest in it.

Required plugins:

Network Event Receiver
Network Messaging __init__.py


EG Macro: Network Messaging Handler

System ...

Re: computer status plugin, eg.globals and more

I got EG restarting after some work. I was hoping to create a eg.app.Restart() method but EG has issues when a copy of itself is starting while another is exiting. I also tried a batch as well which would work but EG doesn't always exit fast for me and didn't want to stick a long delay in there. In ...

Re: computer status plugin, eg.globals and more

Thanks for the wealth of information stottle, python shell is definitely going to be handy.

1. I'm throwing away all globals, that's obviously the wrong way to do it, and now that I know more about Python I can do it the right way.

3. I'm thinking of a way for the plugin to capture/detect events ...
