Can't get Taskcreate to work...?

[Mark F]

You need to learn the specific TaskCreate event for ShowShifter instead of the "every TaskCreate event" thing you have now.

To do this:
Set up an explorer window so you can easily start Showshifter.
If you have the TaskSwitch plugin enabled, disable it.
(I used to disable all the plugins but TaskCreate to be sure that was the one plugin that I could learn)
Highlight the eventstring object in the multi-group.
In the dropdown list next to the learn event button, choose all.
Press the learn event button.
In the explorer window, start ShowShifter.

This should cause the TaskCreate plugin to emit an event when ShowShifter starts and this event should be the one learned.

EDIT: I guess I'm psychic!

I'm probably missing something obvious: (using Girder 3.1.3)

- I try to use the Taskcreate plugin to execute a multigroup when Showshifter starts
- I have enabled the plugin
- I have created an EventString and set it to GirderEvent - Taskcreate
- I see the Eventstring "On Taskcreate" in girder
- when I start *ANY* program, this multigroup get's executed

Q: How do I specify which program Girder has to look for? I see that it detects the event (by looking at the output of the logger plugin)

Hey psychic!

The trick is to select "All" in the events drop-down - only re-reading your post made me see that. Now it works wonderfully - thanks!
