Inactivity timer not accounting for apps launched from Shellbar

Post by TRex »

Code: Select all

[Inactivity]
InactivityTimer=True
InactivitySeconds=300
InactivityMessageFile=
InactivityAction=Restart
InactivityStartOnOpen=True
InactivityShowDialog=True
ResetOnMouseMove=True
ResetOnMouseButton=True
ResetOnKeyboard=True
Configured this way to ensure a return to local HTML page used as Home Page.

Just received report of patron using an app from the Shellbar (one was MS Word; another Minecraft), PWB restarted during Word use and patron lost all MS Word work. Apparently, using an app from the Shellbar doesn't prevent the Inactivity Timer from counting down and restarting. Is there a way around this?

Use the PWB add-on idler.

This will install a keyboard and mouse hook that will reset the PWB inactivity timer when any application is in use.
