Help: Rainmeter Skins • Re: Droptop Warning-Makes Changes

Yep. I brought this issue up at least a year ago and nothing's been done. It's not even recognized as an issue!

We have people complaining daily about issues with Rainmeter and often the issue is OneDrive.

Not an issue if you're using Illustro as your only skin. Anything more advanced has major issues.

Rainmeter almost never "writes" to skin files while they are running. Almost all the writing that is done is to Rainmeter.ini, which is in AppData.

I really don't know what you mean by this. !WriteKeyValue is a thing used by many skins, and some more often than others. How else are variables changed so that the changes persist through an unload or a system restart? That's just crazy.

If OneDrive is set to offload files to the Cloud in Documents, it has to download those files before it can write to them, then it has to upload and re-delete the local file every single time a !WriteKeyValue bang is used. God forbid if the INI and INC files are deleted locally, and the user moves to an area without internet access, and loses the ability to run their skin at all.

Even if OneDrive is set to only sync the files, it is constantly causing OneDrive to connect and sync the INI and INC files as they are changed.

I don't know if you've been paying attention or not, but some people are using Rainmeter for more than just a clock.
