Any chance of supporting wine/linux

[AndyHoang]

Im understand that its was mentioned that only window is tested and support.

Although I want to shoot for my luck if there're any tweak so that MF_run_counter can be used by running with Wine.

I tried it and got an error on extraction data, and some wine version show problem on permission while create a folder.
Any insight you can provide I can bypass this problem?

do see a lot of python, hopefully it can compile into a bigass bundle instead of not extraction data for installer? (This is my guess)

Thank a bunch.

If you want to try and make it work, I would recommend cloning the repository and trying to run the python code directly rather than running the compiled version. I expect it to require quite a bit of work though :/

[AndyHoang]

Thank for your comment, so I take a wild guess on the python version is 2.7?

Im think im pretty close the target, but getting a few errors running the python code:

Update:

I tried python 3.7, passed installing libs
got this error:

Update:

method enumerate_monitors() for each of the implementation seem not to has parameters, but being passed with disable_scaling kwargs. Only window.py implementation has this kwargs

I got _get_monitors(Enumerator.Windows,disable_scaling=True)
the error
*** ValueError: Procedure probably called with not enough arguments (4 bytes missing)

Appreciate if there're any insight

I think I was running the code originally with 3.7 or 3.8 - can't fully remember. I just tested a fresh install on a windows machine with python 3.9, and that works fine at least

It looks like your error is related to the screeninfo package not being able to identify the operating system correctly. I can't really tell you why that happens.

To test whether the code works without screeninfo, just

• go to MF_run_counter/utils/tk_utils.py and comment out line 14 and line 28
• in both functions set min_x = 0 and min_y = 0
• in both functions set max_x to the horizontal resolution of your screen in pixels (in my case 1680)
• in both functions set max_y to the vertical resolution of your screen in pixels (in my case 1050)

then you can test whether the rest works.

Thanks I made it work as you suggest. I can run it, start counting, some feature is not working (not trying automode), but at least it can record my sessions now.

There would be some improvement needed for it to run out of the box, I guess.
There're 2 thing left I would to love hear from your suggestion so that I can dig this app deeper:

• Global hotkey seem not to applied, I have to focus on the program to make hotkey work, not sure it it run normally with windows (I dont have windows)
• pywin32, what is it needed for. If I look for automode off as your "lite app" would it still need pywin32? Reason I asked because I cant seem to install pywin32 in linux as a dependency, I want to check it so that If I can port the app into python native app, and linux can run it without wine. Ofc its still a long way in, but its good if there're some direction.
  Again, thanks bunch.

To me it starts up on Ubuntu 22.04, but there's a related bug:

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49334

For this reason, it needs to be run with sudo. Then it runs:

But yeah, hotkeys don't work, which kinda defeats the purpose. I mean if you switch from Alt + Q to Ctrl + Q it does work, but only when the window is active. Oh and always on top won't work either. So... :D

Well yeah I would need to rewrite a ton of things and I have no knowledge of linux, so unfortunately if you really want to use the app I guess running D2 + run counter in a virtual machine would be your best bet
