Maybe I could set explorer.exe as the default application to start .lnk files for Files Launchers.
It will be less confusing... Eek


- hentai23 - 2011-08-26

But honestly, during File Launcher creation you just have to select the folder where are stored the .lnk files and indicate lnk a file extension. Then after the launcher creation you just have to start a scan to add those lnk files into Advanced Launcher. Cannot make it more simple. Sad

If you want more support post here the content of your launchers.xml file. Maybe you have configured something wrong.


MobyGames - doman - 2011-08-27

Hi!

I believe that MobyGames has changes their setup regarding Cover-pictures. The advanced launcher can´t find the thumbs from there anyway.

Or is it just me? Smile

Thanks for a great add-on!


- hentai23 - 2011-08-27

not the problem ,

but could you perhaps make an explanatory youtube video i think people like me would appreciate it angelscry, thanks

and sorry for being such a noob xD and you are doing impressive work with the advanced launcher

since it wont even open the folder i created as my files launcher -.-'

Hummm... After a deeper check... seems that the MobyGames scrapper is working for covers. If the scrapper did not give you result, this could be due for 2 causes :
  • The Mobygames database did not have the cover for the game
  • The game title query to the Mobygames database did not return result (but the game exists under another title).
Which games/plaforms covers are not found by the scrapper? Eek If you could post here the corresponding launchers.xml file, it will be more easy for me to help you (and if so, try to reproduce your problem).

Finally.. I have found a bug for .lnk files containing spaces into Advanced Launcher. Updates will be online in few minutes... Sorry for ALL the inconveniences.... Sad


Version 1.5.4 - Angelscry - 2011-08-27

Version 1.5.4 : This update of Advanced Launcher only concern Windows users and .lnk shortcut support. It first fix a bug with .lnk shorcuts containing space (which were not started). Then it provide the auto complementation of arguments and files extensions field when the "explorer.exe" application is selected. Finally, the .lnk support is also added to stand alone launchers. Check the corresponding WIKI page for configuration modifications : http://www.gwenael.org/xbmc/index.php?title=File_shortcuts

ChangeLog :
  • fix .lnk support bug for shortcuts containing spaces.
  • improve .lnk support for file launchers (extension auto complementation).
  • expand .lnk support to stand-alone launchers.

Hey 1.5.4 auto-updated itself and now its having a space issue... is there a way to stick to the older 1.5.2 and not allow it to update stuff?

I have made a mistake on the wiki page. The argument for files launcher using .lnk shortcuts must be now %rom% and not anymore "%rom%". Sorry. Nod
