Question about the event System.DeviceAttached

Is there some way to get event ghost to differentiate between to different attached devices?
When I attach my mobile phone with a USB cable to my computer I get the flowing event i my log.
System.DeviceAttached [u'\\\\?\\USB#Vid_0fce&Pid_d0f5#0044010749152380#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}']
When I drag this event to a macro it shows up as System.DeviceAttached. What I would like is for the macro to be able to see the difference between my phone and my girlfriends phone that shows up with different text between the brackets.
The same goes for any thing I attach over USB.

I use
EG 0.3.6.1487 and XP pro SP2

System.DeviceAttached is the name of the event and the device id string is stored in the eg.event.payload variable. You have to make a script that parses the variable and does something based on that.

Example of a very simple python script that uses the variable:

Code: Select all

print eg.event.string + "'s payload was: " + eg.event.payload
