Single-click reset of Centrafuse

[plbyrd]

Is there a way to do a single-click reset of Centrafuse? Sometimes when I come back from sleep or hibernate I'll have a USB device that is either not starting up or comes back with the wrong com port. When this happens I have to reset the USB device and then stop and restart Centrafuse. Is there a way to make Centrafuse reset or reinitialize itself without having to do a complete shut down and start up? It is also an issue when debugging hardware and plugins such as getting the correct setup between a GPS receiver and Lap Time or an OBD-II module and the OBD-II plugin.

I've requested that feature, not on the forums, but to the dev team. I want that feature too. I think its highly useful.

Technically, to pull it off, it seems like we'd need to have a service running that monitors CF.exe; hopefully i'm wrong. We do have a way to run batch files and launch certain programs on power events, (GENERAL SETTINGS / STARTUP/SHUTDOWN COMMANDS) but unfortunately closing CF "power event" is not in there. I wanted to try and add it like that, but it might cause some crazy infinite loop anyways.

Good idea, going to move this thread to Suggestions/Requests area.

You could have, as I do with my standalone programs, a starter program which then runs the main program.

When said single click reset command is received, it is passed to the starter program which then shuts down CF, waits a predetermined (or user selectable) time and then starts CF up.

Also useful for doing automatic updates.
