FR: Restart button in context menu?

[Clone003]

Feature Request:
I would like to be able to restart GOverlay Plus from the context menu when you right click the icon in the taskbar.

A quarter of the time the sensors wont start up properly and the graphs and data on the display would just stay at 0.
It'd be nice if I can right click restart instead of closing it and opening the .exe. (As someone who doesn't keep icons on his Desktop )

I have also attached the logfile from today's startup, if you wanted to solve the root of the problem instead.

Thanks,
Clone

would be ideal to fix the sensors issue you are having first and later on if the restart is still required we can try to add it.
What sensors display 0? i see some errors from hwinfo, are hwinfo sensors?

[Clone003]

I'm using the same AMD/Nvidia profile I made, and I use HWinfo sensors as much as I can
Usually most of the CPU/RAM sensors would be fine when it does break, but the GPU values would stay 0.

[TheLaGmAn]

but are the values at 0 hwinfo ones?

[Clone003]

I'm not 100% confident, but I don't think so.
I restart GoverlayPlus without touching HWinfo.

I believe at one point I did check HWinfo before restart Goverlay and its values werent 0

[TheLaGmAn]

the gpu ones you have are from hwinfo.

stop goverlay, download
https://goverlay.com/downloads/lcdplus/ ... otest1.zip
and replace the unzipped files into the Plugins folder.

start goverlay and check if it happens again

[Clone003]

ok I'll use that test version.

Forgot to mention that it only happens on Windows boot up and it does not happen all the time, so it could be GoverlayPlus starting up before Hwinfo. not sure
I tried replicating it by turning off both apps, launching GoverlayPlus first, then HWinfo, but it wasn't breaking for me using the release version of the plugin.

I'm using the test version now, so if I forget to reply, that means I probably have not run into the issue.

[TheLaGmAn]

no worries, test it overtime and let me know if it happens again any time soon

[Clone003]

It happened again. This time all of the sensors aren't updating.
I restarted GOverlayPlus after saving logs and screenshots, and it started working fine. The HWinfo plugin exceptions didn't appear this time.

Is there a way for Goverlay to automatically save to log file on startup?
Maybe even save it every 5 mins instead of continuously?
I believe all the SocketServer info messages cleared the oldest messages, since I did not notice the bug until hours after I booted my pc up.
Anyways, I pasted the exception messages, which didn't get cleared.

App status tab showed HWinfo sensors (in screenshot below), but I did not see any sensors in the 'Sensors View' tab

Exceptions:
