Yep, you can send all those numbers in a single bang (well, actually a bang chain, just like in a skin) from AHK, without slowing down things with the drive access to write to files.Another great idea! I had stumbled upon this functionality some time ago but it did not come to my mind that I could actually use it here: I could pass my approx. 10 single PV metrics variables (just plain numbers) directly from AHK to the rainmeter skin? This would remove the need for the WebParser measure and the "local WebParser.txt" file access issues completely, right? The png file generation for the image meter is anyway completely handled by the AHK script, I only need to pass the remaining numbers, that's it!
OK, I need to study the docs first, e.g. do I have to call rainmeter.exe in my AHK script for each of the 10 variables - or can this be done with one call, sending a list of bangs at once? I'm currently busy with work but will dig into this feature. It's unbelievable that so many gadgets are hidden in rainmeter... You just need to find it or you need friends to tell 'yo!
