Close EG and open in explorer:
C:\Documents and Settings\[Username]\Application Data\EventGhost
Move the file config.py to some other location. Restart EG and if everything is fine, attach the old config.py here so we can see what was wrong.

No, same thing.
Perhaps if you could describe what I should do to get things up and running?
I've unzipped, placed the SunTracker folder in the Plugin folder, but from there I am guessing.
Yes, the installation should be that simple, just make sure you have the __init__.py and the two .png files that are in the .zip file placed in EventGhost\plugins\SunTracker\ directory.
Do you get a window that looks like this when you configure the plugin? If so, have you tried adding the suntracker action/macro, and if that does not work what errors exactly are you getting?

yes, I do get that screen. Then try to add a macro with SunTracker, and that's when the error lines pop up.
am trying to attach a file that shows the errors, but somehow even that is failing. Must be one of those days.
It keeps telling me "extension not allowed". Have tried docx, doc, and rtf.....
Seems like one setting for the SpinNumCtrl (the number boxes in the config dialog) is conflicting with some settings that are normally fetched from the locale. Probably the original author of this plugin did not happen across this problem since it works without modifications in his locale (as it so it happens works fine in my locale also).
-> groupChar = ' ',
-> decimalChar = '.',
Have to be different from each other.. I set groupChar to an empty space in this case.
That should be another bug squashed, thanks for your efforts!

Yes, when I open the macro it now gives me a complete screen with fields to fill in... phew, that's a relief. At least I got my sanity back, was beginning to think I lost my mind.
Now on to the next step, configuration. I've never seen longitude and latitude is this annotation, when I look at my SatNav I get nn.nn.nn, not nn.nnnn.
Thanks, I found the coordinates. It's only a one-time job (until I move house...), but I would still prefer to enter the coordinates in the usual nn.nn.nn format, like Google Earth does, and SatNavs. Never mind, as long as it works....
But it doesn't! The calculated sun times are: rise 0337, set 1543.
I looked it up in the tables, sun times for today here are: rise 0654, set 1846.
I'll attach a snapshot of my config screen.

Figured it out.... I swapped latitude and longitude....
It now comes up with the right rise and set times.
Also looked at that moving ghost option, looks very useful! Can't wait until you fix that bug in there so I can use that version!
If you want people to use the moving ghost version of the plugin only, could you edit the first post of this thread and put a little notice there with a link to the other plugin thread?
That should help people find the right one to use.
