Define mask in Event name

[gus2000]

I use an Apple remote that gives events like:
Up Key : HID.2587EE090B

The 09 value is variable between remotes, because it can be changed by a special remote function and serve as pairing.

Is there a way to define mask, so Eventghost will not look at this value.
Ex something like : HID.2587EEXX0B

Here's one possibility:

Caution: The event with mask must have a different prefix (in the example HID#2).

Pako, that is great. I never know suffix existed.

ya know i just did something pretty cool with events also,

i am running 2 plugins and they exchange some data, but what i wanted is for en event to fire just the one and be able to do some tree stuff with it but at the same time have that same transport mechanism talk to the other plugin.

i just set up a thread to monitor the eg.EventString variable for the particular event.

idk i was bored, and it worked!!

Make these changes to eg/Classes/EventGhostEvent.py (or wait for v0.5.0) and use "HID.2587EE??0B".

Hi Blackwind,
that's definitely something that's missing in EventGhost.
But I also have concerns, I don't know how fast eg.eventTable.get is to be honest, but comparing each event with every single item of the eventTable sounds a bit slow to me - is it still as fast as before?
(I'm not at home this week and can't test it)

[blackwind]

get() needs to iterate through each item as well to find the match. Performance is actually better than it was previously because it's no longer "getting" six times. Just be wary of using a lot of wildcards in your config, as fnmatchcase() isn't especially fast.

since you all pointed out exactly where the event stuff was, and since i really didn't have to go poking around for it..


I decided to do this and to be rid of all of that crazy key +'.*' stuff

and make it all simple like and actually have it so that every event level can be triggered by a wildcard

and i understand as to why it was orignally done skipping levels

but, i know not to wile card a wild carded item unless i explicitly account for it's ability to get triggered when the event might not be for it.

but that's really easy to handle to cut down on making a billion tree items when 1 would suffice for a device that has 150 events for it.

here is the code if anyone is interedted, it's in the eg/classes/EventGhostEvent.py file.


just after here

Code: Select all

eg.event = self
eg.eventString = eventString
eg.EventString = eventString 

and just before here

Code: Select all

activeHandlers = set()
for eventHandler in eventHandlerList:
    obj = eventHandler

all the code between those can be replaced with

Code: Select all

get = eg.eventTable.get
eventHandlerList = get(eventString, [])
for i in range(len(eventString.split('.'))):
    eventHandlerList += get('.'.join(eventString.split('.')[:-i])+'.*', [])

idk, that little piece there just looks good

Thanks to all for these replies.

Hi kgschlosser,
I'm sorry, I didn't get your explanation, can you give an example about what should work better with your code compared to the one from blackwind?
