2012-08-09Bugfix: Do not hide the window when toggling is off for this pipeJochen Keil
The window became hidden although the toggling behaviour was set to False for a particular pipe. This fixes this behaviour and hides the window only if the configuration option is set to True.
2012-08-09Bugfix: Replace TVar with TMVar for the old valueJochen Keil
This solves a problem when there is only one pipe in place. With a default value of "" and only one pipe with a timeout the value is overwritten with "" after the timeout. To prevent this from happening a TMVar is used which will never be filled if there is only one pipe.
2012-08-09Implement trigger method for BufferedPipeReader PluginJochen Keil
Using the trigger method activity on a pipe can now cause the window to appear (reveal) and disappear again after a given timeout. The timeout for hiding the window is the same as for restoring the pipes content. The timeout value is given in tenth of seconds.

2012-08-08BufferedPipeReader: A plugin for temporary data displayJochen Keil
This plugin allows to display data from multiple pipes. New data will always overwrite the currently displayed data. However, if a timeout is specified, the previous content is restored. Configuration works like this: BufferedPipeReader <Alias> [ ( Timeout, "/path/to/fifo/pipe" ), (..), .. ] If Timeout is set to 0 then the content is persistent, i.e. it will be reset to any previous value, it will itself become the previous value. If Timeout is set to a negative value the earth will stop spinning, so don't do it.
