What-Am-I-Doing - File Locks

by Lawrence 17. August 2009 20:52

This has probably been the most difficult technical problem that I've ever had to solve!

I've been trying to get additional information into What-Am-I-Doing about what's going on on the computer at any time. Any application, particularly things like word and excel, have a current open file. A lock is maintained on the file. This should mean that I can identify the full path of the file being edited.

It took about 2 weeks work to tie it down and make it reliable, however it's now been implemented in the current version of What-Am-I-Doing.

To use this information, I've added a third information field to all logs to hold the "Other Info". I've also added an additional field to the rules so that this information can be used for auto-allocation.
