Hey Dan- I covered some of this in an email I sent you earlier today, but I think LUA-based plugins have their own settings separate than traditional plugins. Yes, LUA can communicate with Perl plugins. In the basic SuperDateTime LUA applet I referred you to it achieves this to retrieve the current weather conditions that the SDT Perl plugin is keeping track of. -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77864 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/jive
