rainmeter - issue #188

Only last file will be played when I use !execute [PLAY FILE1] [PLAY FILE2] [PLAY FILE2]

>>What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.In the ini file of the skin, I use a bang command as follow: [Clock_Img] Meter=IMAGE LeftMouseUpAction=!execute [PLAY FILE1.wav] [PLAY FILE2.wav] [PLAY FILE3.wav] 2.After I click the meter, it only plays the last file and neglect the two in front.

>>What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I want it can play the three files one by one, but I only hear the sound of the last file.

>>What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I can confirm this problem comes from version 1.2 till now. It runs well in version 1.1. My OS is Windows 7 x64.

Maybe its the spaces between the bangs. Try without the spaces: LeftMouseUpAction=!execute [PLAY FILE1.wav][PLAY FILE2.wav][PLAY FILE3.wav]

XTREME: It's not the spaces, but a Rainmeter limitation. Please test before suggesting.

Sorry. I still don't know how to do? How can I make it play the three files one by one? Or I can't ?

No, not as of now. The Windows function used to play the sound only supports one sound at a time. Quick Googling reveals that DirectX would be needed to play multiple sounds asynchronously, which is not where we want to take Rainmeter.
