@jurialmunkey , thanks for making this plugin better and better!

What visibility condition should I set (or what should I do) for my custom cast panel when the info is coming from the plugin service monitor, but it has not finished updating? Right now I have only numitems > 0 and isupdating for the panel, and what usually happens is that the first time I press Info on a widget item from the plugin, I get no cast.  Then, the second time I press Info on that same item, the cast will appear, since the monitor has finished updating the info and it is most likely cached also.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Bart

EDIT: @jurialmunkey, this is what I have for the custom cast right now.  The results are inconsistent, meaning for some widget items the cast is shown, for others it is not.
