hi there all - i am new here and to this program. it is a great little app and i found it easy to get it working quickly. however i have now came across an issue.
i am running the latest stable eventghost from this site on winXP SP3. i am using it with XBMC, Windows Media Player and now Mediamonky plugins. my remote is the old type cyberlink IR remote.
the issue is that i have assigned some buttons to several programs - for example i have assigned the vol+ and vol- to each plugin and in general it seems to work fine. but when assigned to mediamonkey it seems that pressing the volume keys actually start the mediamonkey program even if they are pressed while XBMC is on... in other words keys seems to work on the opened and focused app but key trigering mediamonkey actions also start the program if it is closed which is a nuesance...
i hope i am explaining myself correctly...
cheers
michel

how do i make events work on only the opened application?
Re: how do i make events work on only the opened application?
Each plugin can implement their actions separately. Most will only run actions when the app is actually running, but some may choose to start the app. One disadvantage of open plugin development is that its hard to maintain "consistency".
Usually people will enable/disable exclusion macros based on Task events (app start/app close) to get around this kind of issue. There's an example in the default config for that.
