This means, that in folder C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\Snarl is missing the file pySnarl.py.
The contents of that directory should look like this:Pako

Pako,

I have not worked with the On Screen Display in EG. Does this plugin (or the default OSD) allow displaying messages/menus while watching a full screen video that takes exclusive control of the video adapter? In other words, will this force the full screen video into the background while the OSD is being displayed?

1) Default OSD plugin
OSD frame is always on top (even in the case, when foreground application is in fullscreen mode).

2) Snarl
This behavior can be selected as required:Pako

There is a new version (0.0.3) of Snarl plugin.
I've added an option to define event payload (notification user menu).

Thanks for the update Pako! Also fixed custom expired/invoked/closed messages for me. I'd like to use variables as payload though, this doesn't work atm. I tried to change the plugin and add a ParseString but haven't been able to get it to work properly.

Yes, it is impossible at this moment.
But I'm working on it.
In fact, it is quite difficult, because it is necessary to store in memory eg.event object and eg.result object for each call of Notify action ...
But for me, it even works already, but I still have to solve some cosmetic changes.

Alright, good to hear as I stopped trying . Will it also be possible to send a payload on closed/invoked/expiration?

I have it also in the plan, but it will be up in the next version.
Otherwise you have to wait too long.
I suppose a version that supports variables in the user menu will be available today.

Pako

Done. New version 0.0.4 released.
Notification user menu now supports also variables.
It may look like this:Note: In this example, there must exist a variable eg.globals.testVar.

Pako

Thanks Pako!

I just released a new version 0.0.5.
There is incorporated promised feature: customized events on notification disappearance can carry a payload now and supports also variables.

Hi Pako.

I'm getting an exception after adding the Snarl Plugin to EventGhost now.
Don't know if it matters, but I didn't use the plugin before.
Thanks!
Here's the stack trace:

Hi João!
No, it should not happen.
I've now tried to open a blank configuration and add Snarl plugin.
Everything went without defects.
So I was looking for something on the internet and it appears,
that you have (on your PC) some file-paths that contain non-ACII characters (0xe3 = ã).
unicode error while zipfile extract

Thanks Pako.

That's probably my home folder (João Dias). Are you maybe reading or writing files there?
