You can't define a [Variable] using one of the built-in #VARIABLE# items Rainy has added.

For instance:

I have a dock that has always used this approach

[VARIABLES] LINKS="C:\Users\Jeffrey Morley\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Shadow\WideDock\links\"

[MeterCOMPUTER_BUTTON] Meter=BUTTON X=77r Y=0 ButtonImage=images\button.png ButtonCommand=!Execute ["#LINKS#computer.lnk"]

Works great. With 1.0 I said "Oh cool. I can change this to"

[VARIABLES] LINKS="#CURRENTPATH#links\"

[MeterCOMPUTER_BUTTON] Meter=BUTTON X=77r Y=0 ButtonImage=images\button.png ButtonCommand=!Execute ["#LINKS#computer.lnk"]

While it may seem intuitive to many users, this will not work. You do not seem to be able to define a variable by using a variable as part of the definition.

I can of course directly use the built-in variable in the ButtonCommand and it works great.

[MeterCOMPUTER_BUTTON] Meter=BUTTON X=77r Y=0 ButtonImage=images\button.png ButtonCommand=!Execute ["#CURRENTPATH#Links\computer.lnk"]

Trouble is, I'm almost better off with the old method as I have more flexibility to move the location I put the links in without having to change it in every meter. I think it would add a huge amount of usefulness to the built-in variables if we could use them as part of a [Variable] definition.

This is now possible in r178.

Thanks a million.. this is a huge step forward if you think of all the possibilities
