Task Switcher does not work

Hi all,

i just recently switched to eventghost for controling my htpc with my remote and actually its easy to configure and still has a lot of possibilities, but there is one thing which is bugging me. I try to switch between "modes" after receiving the task.deactivated event/task.activated.event and activate exclusive mode for the folder in charge. In my example i have two folders, 1 is notepad, 2 is desktop: 1 activates on task.activated.notepad, 2 activates on task.deactivated.notepad , at least that is what i want, but eventghost ignores my switch from notepad to desktop and back. (does not ignore it completely as you can see in the log, but it does not switch to the setup exclusive mode). Any idea what i do wrong here?

Keep on rockin'

That's absolutely clear.
Think about it!
You can not have your "Enable exclusive" macros in the same folder as the "Desktop" and "Notepad" folders.
The action "Enable exclusive" allways enable one item and all others disable.
Have you see it ?
Note: You can not disable the Autostart folder.

Hi Pako,

thank you for your quick help. Putting both application folders in the root was a part of the problem, but after i put them in a subfolder it still did not work. Then i found the "final" problem, i realised that i had to manually enable the disabled items again to make them work, somehow i thought this would happen automatically :-)

Now the switch between exclusive tasks is working flawlessy, Thanks again for your help.

Keep on rockin'
