No more "task.activated.xx" event since i use windows 7

Post by nonob »

Hello,

When i was on windows XP, i used "task.activated.xx" event to trigger exclusive use of a folder to control different applications with the same remote buttons.

For instance, when my media player windows was on top, i had a "task.activated.winamp" event and it did an exclusive used of my winamp eventghost folder.

When i goes back to my desktop, i had the "task.activated.desktop" event, so i could control another application..

Since i use windows 7, i don't have this event (task.activated) anymore.Why ?

Thanks

For me they work fine in Windows 7 64bit. I have UAC disabled, don't know if it matters.
I assume you have the "Task Create/Switch events" plugin active.

It's a core plugin but you need to add it for the "task" events.
