Incorrect handling of multiple {flip} blocks per single template line #57

Closed zohozer closed 1 year ago

zohozer commented 1 year ago

I do try to make the minutes to blink on every second pass but seems that the {flip} option it is not working properly.

If I do

<span style="color: {flip:red:green};">{flip:{ii}:{ii}}</span>

I get {fli displayed on screen instead of the minutes numbers.

How to fix this flipping issue?

MarcinOrlowski commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the feedback. There are indeed some oddities in how flip works. As far as I can tell the problem shows up when you got more than one {flip} in a single text line. That most likely a bug, but it seems the workaround is trivial here - just break your markup into multiple lines so only single flip per line remains. In case of your template making it look like this should work that bug around:

<span style="color: {flip:red:green};">
{flip:{ii}:{ii}}</span>

BTW: {flip:{ii}:{ii}} is simply just {ii} as alternating between the same value makes no much of a benefit, so you can also remove that {flip} completely and keep just {ii} there.

<span style="color: {flip:red:green};">
{ii}</span>

Debug note: it seems it's not about the flip but the how {} are handled as you can have single {flip} and then some other placeholders in the same line and that bug can show up as well, i.e. {flip:FOO:BAR} {DDD:U}. Workaround still the same.

Fixed in 1.6.4

zohozer commented 1 year ago

Thank you for the fix. I am currently running the 1.6.3 version and seems that it is not upgrading by itself. If I right-click on the clock and press the "Check for update..." button, nothing happens.

I am running SteamOS (Arch distro) on a SteamDeck machine. The discover package manager is up to date with all the software but this plasmoid clock don't seems to update.

It would not self update that way anyway but just notify about newer version. Will check why that is not working
