EventGhost

I do not like to use Task plugin, because it generates too many events.
That's why I create greatly simplified replacement - Application Observer plugin.
He generates events only when you start and end application. And that's only for those applications that you choose.I do not know if someone is interested, but maybe yes.

Can you give an examples of usage?

I'd like to understand how this differs vs triggering Macros based on the following...

Task.Created
Task.NewWindow
Task.ClosedWindow
Task.Activated
Task.Deactivated


thx

Here is an example of the contents of the log,if I added plugins Task Create/Switch Events and Application observer to the configuration.
Then I opened a text file in notepad and again I closed it.
I think it is clear that correlations:
Application.Launched.XXX corresponds Task.Created.XXX and
Application.Terminated.XXX corresponds Task.Destroyed.XXX

BTW: what about the testing function Window: Move Absolute?
I see that you're doing a very thorough test.

work and my 1 yr old have been keeping me too busy to really test too much. I have added move absolute but not enabled it yet... maybe tomorrow or this weekend.

I still don't understand how Application Observer provides anything beyond using native triggers?

how is Application.Launched more useful than Task.Created?

Here's something else entirely. I never claimed that it was more useful.

Note: Because I am constantly experimenting with EventGhost, I do not use the option Log only activated and assigned events.
I do not need events like Task.NewWindow, Task.ClosedWindow, Task.Activated, Task.Deactivated.

gotcha... I also keep that option unchecked but I use the Task Plugin since it is useful to see what state an app is in and base Macros on them.

Hi Pako!

I┬┤m want to use your plugin to control a program called DSynchronize.exe.

It┬┤s proper configured, but I don┬┤t get any event after starting/closing the program.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

The "task create/switch events" plugin also doesn┬┤t recognize the program at all....

If I add "c:\windows\notepad.exe" it┬┤s also NOT recognized by your plugin, but recognized by the "task create/switch events" plugin.
Strange thing....

btw: I┬┤m using Win7 HP 32bit....

I thought the only one reason for this behavior:
Applications you want to observe, you must insert without a path. Thus, only "notepad.exe".
Look at the picture in the introductory article of this topic.
