EventGhost

Got it working again. No idea why but I had to redo the credentials to access the network path. Then, after restarting eventghost, it worked again. All is well.

Been using directory watcher for years on some network folders and now after updating eventghost it does not work for the network paths. It works fine for a local folder just not a network path. Directory watcher says version 1.0. Is there a 2.0 and is so where can I find it? I've ran searches ...

Awesome!! Thanks for the reply. Mine has been working great but this is much more simple and exactly what I was looking for.

I have to say it feels great watching my automated system work. Just the idea that I'm able to specifically unrar newly downloaded content to another directory, rename ...

I now have it working! Probably not the cleanest as I'm sire this could have been done in one python script. I played with python stuff for a while and ended up with just the end I was missing but could not combine the beginning and end so I created two scripts, one for the proper beginning, and one ...

Thought it was working but for weird names it cleans it up too much.

(u'\\\\HTPC\\Torrent-Finished\\Misc\\example.DVDRip.XviD-name',)

comes out to
\\HTPC\Torrent-Finished\Misc\example.DVDRip

It's missing the end ".XviD-name"

Any ideas?

I just got it after about a 100 variations. I needed to change

name, ext = path.splitext(tail) to
name, ext = path.splitext(fp)

Final code:
from os import path
fp = eg.event.payload[0]
name, ext = path.splitext(fp)
eg.result = name
eg.globals.miscPath = eg.result

example of my use of the eg ...

I've previously gotten help to create an awesome python script that parses eg.event.payload to give me only the filename at the end so that I can email it to me. The thread is here http://www.eventghost.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2462 and this is the final code:
from os import path
fp = eg ...

Maybe I need set a global variable in the python script based on the result and then access that variable in the expression. I'll try that out and see what happens.

edit: Hell yea! It worked.


from os import path
fp = eg.event.payload[0]
head, tail = path.split(fp)
name, ext = path.splitext(tail ...

Spent forever now trying to get this in my email subject line of my email.

Is there a way to get this code in one python line or a way to refer to the result of this script or can I save this as a .py file and load it in a python expression that I run in the subject line?

from os import path

Oh yea! Looks good with the [0]

Python Script

Got this from the python forums.

change: head, tail = path.split(fp)
to:head, tail = path.split(fp[0])

Tried it but then get another error:
Python Script

That was the print command I was looking for. Here is the result.

#print name

Gives me this in eg log:

Getting this error still

Looks good. This is exactly what I ended up with except the last line. In my other post I said when I put fp = eg.event.payload then there is an error on the next line. Here is the error I get from my eventghost log:
