Administrator Permission Applications Not Responding to AppVol about appvolumeplugin HOT 11 CLOSED

Running Rainmeter as Administrator solved this.

Well, user shouldn't need to run Rainmeter as Admin for it to work correctly all the time
I will investigate this later.

Most excellent as usual. Your persistence is admirable. :)

I noticed some behaviour that may help you resolve this in your dll.

Running Rainmeter as admin does resolve the problem, but there is a couple ways I tried to get this all automatic so to speak.

I tried creating a scheduled task to run rainmeter as admin at startup - this allowed your AppVol to see the admin requiring app. However, the app (which is SWTOR) would not fully load to the main program, but AppVol DID see it...

So I found that starting rainmeter as admin allows both AppVol and SWTOR to run correctly and SWTOR does not ask for admin approval - but rainmeter did initially.

Hope these behaviours assist you in coding around this.

I look forward to your next iteration of AppVol 1.3 😃

Oh, forgot to say that I am using rainmeter to trigger SWTOR with a standard path to the main exe.

Try it out

from appvolumeplugin.

You are a wizard! It seems to be recognising the admin reqs now. I haven't extensively tested it yet, but at first glance, it is perfect.

By the way, what are you using to create your vcxproj? Is that visual c++ or something else?

from appvolumeplugin.

Visual Studio 2017
If you're going to learn how to make plugin, you should use one of these projecttemplate and learn how to create one later: https://github.com/rainmeter/rainmeter-plugin-sdk/tree/master/C%2B%2B

Hi khanhas
I hate to bug you again but since I love love your appvolume I would like to request another fix.
There still seems to be a memory leak. What is happening is when appvolume is running, is my physical memory demand goes up and eventually my swap is maxed out requiring a restart.
I hope you can find what it is.
Thanks

Hey, khanhas, its me again.
Technical issue with the shape meter - the master volume does not like having a rounded edge - it just stays barely rounded and nothing seems to be able to change it beyond a minor rounding of the corner rather than being like a half circle on the end of the shape.

Suggestions?

Hey, I just noticed that the scaled bars change as they extend to full length and flatten out at lower levels - I will experiment, but I hope you can help narrow down where that is happening.

Thanks.
