autoprofile watch without full path
autoprofile watch without full path
Im hoping to set my autoprofile watch without full path. I want to use either just the executable name or relative path from xpadder.exe to define the watch. I tried manually tweaking the ini, but it only works when I have the full path.
I have xpadder running on an external hard drive I plug into different computers. I was hoping to use autoprofiles and avoid writing a script to change profiles on certain conditions.
Is this possible and I'm doing something wrong?

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
Just so I'm understanding. Is this example correct?
External HD:
Xpadder\Xpadder.exe
Game\rungame.exe
The external HD may appear as D, E or F on whichever PC you attach it to so you want the watch to be "..\Game\rungame.exe" to catch its location relative to Xpadder?

Yes, that would be very similar example.

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
How about "Recent Windows->Select Title" in this case?
Re: autoprofile watch without full path
I think that is still based on full system path. I can only guarantee that the relative path will stay the same.Primal Fear wrote:How about "Recent Windows->Select Title" in this case?
Actually that will work assuming all the apps I'm using have a valid window title. Thanks.

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
It won't work for example for web browsers and text editor as they change the title name according to the currently opened web site or file. But for the most games it works fine.

Window title is a good method - never thought of that!EpicFail wrote: Actually that will work assuming all the apps I'm using have a valid window title. Thanks.
If it doesn't work then let us know and I'll look into adding relative path saving for exes on the same (non-C) drive as Xpadder.

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
Hi, I really would appreciate this feature too,
I need that for the scenario described here:
http://xpadder.com/forum4/viewtopic.php?f=178&t=4425
crossing fingers that you will pick it up into your todo list
but maybe dont restrict it to the same Drive where xpadder is stored, so you can type a Path
like D:\something\*.exe
even if your xpadder is in C:\Program Files\Xpadder\xpadder.exe
Kind regards,
Ravermeister

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
...project still alive?
Re: autoprofile watch without full path
If siteisup then project=alive
Re: autoprofile watch without full path
I ended up doing more automation on my own using AutoHotkey. I ended up having a lot configurations so the added flexibility helped me out. For example if you were running an emulator like dosbox and wanted to have different controls per game I could do it easily with AHK. Really I guess you could use any scripting language, but AHK has some powerful built in features that aren't typical to other scripting languages. I ended up having to do all my xpadder profile stuff from one AHK script and like chain them together. Xpadder would complain, something about the processes not matching.

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
I created a little tool for xpadder that does the trick:
http://jonnyrimkus.square7.ch/www_mopro ... %20Builder
but maybe I'll check out auto hotkey anyway.
Kind regards and thanks for your help

Will you provide some info on how this works and how to use it?ravermeister wrote:I created a little tool for xpadder that does the trick:

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
Sure, will ad an info into the help section maybe this weekend
It works as follows:
First it loads the ini file.
then when you go to tools->multiprofile
- you must choose the xpadder executable (required for calculating relative path to the .xpadderprofile as xpadder uses relative pathes when possible)
- you can choose an .xpadderprofile (it will be the profile which will be added to the AutoProfiles with the found executables) no profile means 'ignore default' for xpadder
- at least you specify a Folder, in these folder the program searches for any exe file (recursively)
- When you press saveIni, the original ini file will be backed up in
%HOMEPATH%\.xpadderbackup
and the new ini file with all AutoProfile entries for the found executables will be written.

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
So this pretty much does the same thing as the built in feature of xpadder, but with a different interface?

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
not exactly.
in xpadder you have to choose ONE exe file at a time.
with my program you can define an Auto Profile for ALL exe files
inside a Folder structure at once
so this should "work around" the problem that you can't define an Autoprofile with a exe Path like this C:\somefolder\*.exe

Re: autoprofile watch without full path
I've added the explanation,
and made the exe files chooseable so you can apply
only the one's you want
