Help: Rainmeter Skins • Re: Update measures for removable devices

Hi,

Is there a trigger to update a skin when a drive or usb device is connected/disconnected?
It's not refreshing or updating automatically, and I have to manually "refresh skin" after I connect a usb drive to update its measures and value display. It would be great if the skin could refresh itself after a usb device was connected/disconnected.

Mybe I just do something wrong?
My code looks like that for my removable drives:

Code:

[measureTotalDisk2]Measure=FreeDiskSpaceIgnoreRemovable=0Drive=#disk2#Total=1UpdateDivider=120IfEqualValue=0IfEqualAction=[!HideMeterGroup GroupDisk2][!SetOption meterValueDisk2 Text "n/a"][!SetOption meterLabelDisk2 LeftMouseUpAction][!Redraw]IfAboveValue=0IfAboveAction=[!ShowMeterGroup GroupDisk2][!SetOption meterLabelDisk2 LeftMouseUpAction ["#disk2#\"]][!SetOption meterValueDisk2 Text "%1B/%2B"][!Redraw][measureUsedDisk2]Measure=FreeDiskSpaceIgnoreRemovable=0Drive=#disk2#InvertMeasure=1UpdateDivider=120[meterLabelDisk2]Meter=StringMeterStyle=styleLeftTextX=10Y=6rW=190H=14Text=#disk2#\[meterValueDisk2]Meter=StringMeterStyle=styleRightTextMeasureName=measureUsedDisk2MeasureName2=measureTotalDisk2X=200Y=0rW=190H=14NumOfDecimals=1AutoScale=1[meterBarDisk2]Meter=BarMeterStyle=styleBarMeasureName=measureFreeDisk2X=10Y=14rW=190H=5Group=GroupDisk2

Your measures should update just fine, but assuming that Update=1000 in the [Rainmeter] section of your skin they will update at 1000 * 120 = 120000 ms = 120 s = 2 minutes. So if your Update is the standard 1000 ms, you should lower the UpdateDivider=120 to something like 5 to have any kind of faster update in the measures (Update=1000 coupled with UpdateDivider=5 will result in a 5 s update of the corresponding measure). I said 5 cause doing it every second seems a bit overkill for something working with the slower disks.
