Hey shackles, I don't think the most recent update got pushed to the OS X branch.
Any chance of an option to have IM re-check card values between game switches?
Edit: If this already happens, then feel free to laugh at me, haha.
Just a small update for today (in preparation of a bigger one later) but Idle Master will now display how long it idles each game once it's complete.
In the future I plan on having the ability for you to upload this information (anonymously) so that we can start to build an aggregate database of approximately how long it takes for each game to drop it's cards. This data would then be used in yet another future update for Idle Master to give you an approximate time to completely idle all of your games.
Right now, Idle Master simply gets these values when it starts up.
Corrosivefrost and I are scheming on a way to make Idle Master re-check your badges (and if you have "mostvalue" as your sort rule, this will re-grab the card price data) between games or every 2-3 games.
So, it's in the works.![]()
This works wonderful, jshackles, thank you!
EDIT: dunno whether it's noteworthy, but 2 games don't get their title displayed:
App 204450 and App 8930]
I have a hunch the new Steam update broke Idle master.
It instantly returns 0 cards to idle for...
I updated the cookie info and still got bupkiss.

Don't know about the category bit, however I do know that Steam's time-tracker isn't very accurate at all. Which is incredibly odd as it's an easy feature to create >_<'Any idea if it would be easy to update this to just run this on games within a certain category? My only hesitation is that I like to track my game time, and for games I am actually going to play, I don't want time artificially racked up on it before I have played it.

It's close enough that I much prefer it to nothing.
Hey guys, any idea why the game pop-up doesn't pop up?
It stays like this for 15 minutes and then idle again for 15 minutes.

I made a small update that lists the number of drops remaining on a game when it first starts idling, and (if you're running it under Windows) the Idle Master window itself will update to let you know what game you're idling and how many card drops are remaining.
This way if you keep the app minimized, you can keep tabs on how things are going without actually opening it up to look.

I'm curious about how your setup allows you to read it easily (I'm probably missing something obvious).
Double posting, but I've seem to have come across a bug.
I asked in the Steam thread if it was normal to take 4+ hours for a single card to drop, and from the replies it obviously wasn't normal. The Steam Library was also only reporting 6 minutes played, when the idling was much longer.
I've since discovered what appears to have caused the issue - closing the 'You're Now In-Game' window after Idle Master started idling. This didn't seem to affect card drops in other games prior to this, but for the current game I'm idling - Euro Truck Simulator 2 - it only began dropping the first card when I left that second window open. I had restarted the client and Idle Master a few times after the initial post, and closed the secondary window each time, same result - no drop. Leaving the window open however resulted in the correct idle time in Steam and a card drop.
I don't know if I'll be able to get anything set up to filter out (or filter to) certain Steam categories, since games on the badge progress page (where Idle Master gets it's info) don't list this info.
Any suggestions?
Here's a screenshot of what I'm working on:

EDIT: And - it's live.
EDIT EDIT: and now it will also log all output to idlemaster.log (this will help us troubleshoot issues that come up)
Invalid cookie data, cannot log in to Steam.
I keep getting:
Has been like that for maybe 4-5 days.
Wha'ts the solution?

I had the same error. Logged into steam community on chrome and it fixed it on idle master.
I think just opening the page fixes it sometimes, at least it did for me. No need to log out and in again.Thanks for the tip!
I logged out an back again and yeah that fixed it.

I can't seem to find the steamid cookie in my steam community folder. I can only see sessionid, language, and steam cc.
