EventGhost Windows process not ending at exit

[kgschlosser]

so now we know what plugin is causing the problem

you can give this a try..

replace the current ProcessWatcher __init__.py file with this one.

what did you change in the code?

i changed the code to use threading.Event for a couple of different things.. one was the sleep statement that it was previously using which i personally really do not like to use because it actually stops the thread where threading.Event.wait even tho doing the same thing as sleep has the ability to stop sleeping if you want to exit the thread. but also allows for being "flagged" which is what exits the polling loop. the way i set it up is a tried and true way of exiting a thread loop. and the way i set it up will make sure that the thread fully exists before starting a new one in just in case you disable and then re enable the plugin.

The EG process exists faster now, thanks.

I wanted to let you know there is no need to save the processwatcher plugin. The fix for the process not exiting has been added and will be included in the next release of EG
