14 DAY TRIAL // The latest stable release for Rainmeter is 2.5 and it brings to the table plenty of changes. Just like with previous updates, you can install this revision over the old one without losing support for earlier skins.
New in this revision is the FileView plugin, which can index details (path, name, size, type, date, and icon) about all files and folders in a specific location.
The developer also added several new mouse actions that include support for the mouse wheel. These allow you to set a particular action for rotating the scroll wheel, when the cursor is over a skin or meter containing the option.
Furthermore, the fresh build can run an action automatically when an element (skins, meters, measures) is updated; on the same note, actions can be executed when a skin gains or loses focus. The entire list of modifications is available on this page.
