Enable exclusive vs Enable? Difference?

[r2d2]

Hi folks!
I thought that "Enable exclusive" disables the specified folder, when focus is lost. But this is not the case. To me it does the same like "Enable". So an extra macro with "Disable" is always necessary?
In fact I dont understand what "Enable exclusive" really does. It is explained briefly in the manual, but unfortunately I dont get it.

Using:
Windows 7 64bit
EventGhost 0.3.7.r1436

Thanks

I got it:

It only works as expected, when there is another "Enable exclusive"!!! So the automatic disabling doesnt work with just one "Enable exclusive". I rate this a bug.

Code: Select all

Programs (folder)
    WinMediaPlayer (folder)
        Play (macro)
            remote.play (event)
        Pause (macro)
            remote.pause (event)
    WinAmp (folder)
        Play (macro)
            remote.play (event)
        Pause (macro)
            remote.pause (event)
    VLC (folder)
        Play (macro)
            remote.play (event)
        Pause (macro)
            remote.pause (event)

When you 'enable exclusiv' WinMediaPlayer-folder, the folders WinAmp and VLC will be disabled (and the macros in it). If you 'enable exclusiv' WinAmp-folder, the folders WinMediaPlayer and VLC will be disabled (and the macros in it). This is useful if you want to use your remote with different programs. This way one button can have different functions (execute different macros with the same event).
To get full usage of 'enable exclusiv', the use of the Task create/switch-plugin is recommended.

Code: Select all

Programs (folder)
    ...
toggle programs (folder)
    enable WinMediaPlayer (macro)
        task created 'WinMediaPlayer.exe' (event)
        enable exclusive 'Programs/WinMediaPlayer' (action)
    enable WinAmp (macro)
        task created 'WinAmp.exe' (event)
        enable exclusive 'Programs/WinAmp' (action)
    enable VLC (macro)
        task created 'VLC.exe' (event)
        enable exclusive 'Programs/VLC' (action)
