Help: Rainmeter Skins • Nested variable issue, again!

$
0

When the skin loads I want it to show the first index item of two file view plugins set ups. the first works fine, but the second doesn't.

The skin uses whatever name is obtained from the first file view (FV1) as the name of the folder name/path for the second file view (FV2).

It's working fine under normal circumstances, but I have to specify the variables path to the folder:
mMediaListPath=Documentary, which isn't a major issue, but if I move things around or change folder names, it breaks the skin. So I'm trying to get it working by just specifying the measure name instead, but I assume I need to escape the variable in this case: mMediaListPath=[&mMediaList1Name]. I've tried adding * in various places, removing the &, adding [] but nothing seems to work here.

The section using it is this:

Code:

[mMediaListPath]Measure=PluginPlugin=FileViewPath="#mCategoryPath#\#mMediaListPath#"ShowDotDot=0ShowHidden=0ShowFolder=0Recursive=#Recursive#Extensions="#Extensions#"Count=20HideExtensions=1FinishAction=[!SetOption ListClick Hidden 1][!UpdateMeasureGroup MediaList][!UpdateMeterGroup MediaList][!Redraw]
I've basically tried all the variations I can think of and have mimicked the code previously given me by Ricardo, for nesting a variable within a variable, but adapting that the same way didn't work either. What do I need to do here?

Thanks. :thumbup:
