You need to use the events you get when a window gets in focus to activate/deactivate the folders containing the macros. Like "Task.Activated.foobar200" and "Task.Activated.XBMC".
OK, I understand...I hope, at least.
You can't just add a plugin and expect EventGhost to do what you want.
But it would be great.
You really need to look at the "Example.xml" file included with EventGhost as it is an example of how to control several programs by enabling/disabling the folders with the program specific macros

Yes, I had understood and I had already done, but it is not the easy to understand for me; an explanation wouldn't be bad either.

Thanks again.

The beauty with EventGhost is that its so flexible so you can do a lot of things with it, but as a result everything is generic and the user needs to specifically tell EventGhost how stuff is going to work.

The "Context Folder" contains the macros for the specific programs you want to control. The "Switch to mode..." macros contain the action to enable the macros for the currently active program.

Yes, indeed, it seems to be able to do all you need to control a computer and its programs. And, yes, that is the way programs work.

Thanks for the new links and explanations, I will try to make it work.
