Autorepeat delays in single place

I wonder if it would be possible to configure the autorepeat delays in one central place, so if I adjust the delays it would affect all the different macros? I guess I could make my own autorepeat plugin with hard coded delays, but I'd prefer using the original.

EventGhost fails to load the configuration

Hello,

My EventGhost constantly fails to load the configuration from the XML file when I run it in Windows startup. The config loads fine if I load it manually. There are no errors, nothing in the startup, the default configuration is just loaded.

Specs:
Win 7 64-bit, SP1
EventGhost 0.4.1.r1544 ...

Re: External events

Yeps, seems so. Well, mine is more efficient, but on the other hand a lot more dangerous, since it's a driver and also because Win7 doesn't like testsigned drivers :p

Re: External events

I'd like to know what you mean by a "real task watcher". Current one uses a hook which only gets notified when a window is created or destroyed. So, minimizing eg. Foobar2000 will say it was closed. Well, that's what I figured out by seeing how it behaves, I haven't checked any source code. So, I'm ...

Re: External events

I'm thinking of doing a real task watcher (opposed to the current one) and I'm looking for the best solution to send the exe name for EG. I thought about UDP, but then I thought loading winsock in every app I hook my DLL to isn't very nice. Atm I'm looking at NamedPipes, if they provided a better ...

External events

Hello,

Is there any other way to receive an external event, except the EventGhost.exe -event myEvent way? I think creating a new process is quite heavy if you plan to send external events to EventGhost frequently. A window message would one way?

Re: Speech plugin modified - added clipboard.

For the life of me, though, I can't think of what in the world do you use this for? :?: I'm using the speech plugin to read aloud the name of the current song. I have speakers outside, so can't be bothered to get inside to find out the title of the song. Don't know about you :) You could copy like ...

Speech plugin modified - added clipboard.

I modified the speech plugin to read aloud the contents of Windows clipboard. I don't know Python, but I managed to create this hack :)

I've attached a diff file as a zip, because .diff was not allowed, and also the modified EventGhost/plugins/Speech/__init__.py file.

EDIT: Unicode support added ...
