RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sagaopc - 2013-05-16 i restart PC and waiting for one day to try again and nothing... covers doesn't appear, i try every method!!!!

Has any one seen this before?Yes... that's Advanced Launcher category support. You can create any category you want, and sort your launcher as you want inside them. The Default category is where launchers that have not been attrubuted to any category are stored... by default. Once you have updated to version 2.x, your launchers have been saved by default into this category. Is there a way to disable or hide categories? If not, it's a feature request The reason why, I like to use ALA to launch games only, and some skins will customise the Program main menu to suit Game. Useful to me, if it doesn't mean a huge rewrite to you.

Useful to me, if it doesn't mean a huge rewrite to you.You can hide the default category by going into Advanced Launcher > Add-on settings > Miscellaneous > Display Options > Hide the Default category. For the other category it is not possible. I will not add any feature to hide other catyegories. If you do not want to see them, that's simple... do not create them. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sagaopc - 2013-05-16 I find what cause my problem with scrapper... in Windows 7 i tested all thing and only have problems with DS roms... i see pokemon is writed pokÉmon... When i change to pokemon, the cover and fanart appear again!!! sorry for trouble angels! RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - JDizzy - 2013-05-17 A quick question. I am using advanced launcher to start a windows program called MC18.exe. Is there a way to just start the windows program with <onclick> command from a menu without going through all the advanced launcher sub menus? or... One way I figured out was to make the Windows program a Favorite and then used the Favorites menu to launch through Advanced Launcher. Is there also a way to launch the favorite directly from <onclick>? Hope that makes sense.... RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - Angelscry - 2013-05-17 (2013-05-17, 02:46)JDizzy Wrote: A quick question.You can create a stand alone launcher pointing to your MC18.exe executable file. Then create a favourite of this launcher. If the skin you are using support menu or submenu creation based on favourites, then you just have to select this favourite as menu or submeny entry. If your skin do not support this feature, then you just have to open your xbmc/userdata/favourites.xml file, and copy/paste the link corresponding to the MC18.exe favourite into your <onclick> tag. For example if your launcher favourite is : Code: ... then the corresponding onclick tag will simply be : Code: <onclick>PlayMedia("plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?5b83b7bb3b344e9eb61db1b378073353/38944fb99c3e9279236180949e663b6c/81492ab54b8d39adc352c967e132b612")</onclick> Concerning your first question, yes, you can start an executable file from a <onclick> tag without using Advanced Launcher. You just have to call the XBMC.System.Exec() built-in function.

I could attempt to create them again with the default category hidden or is there some other configuration I need to check?You don't need to create them again. Just create a new category and move your launchers that are into the "Default" category into the newly created category. To do this, highlight your launcher, go into context menu ("C" key), go into "Edit Launcher", then go into "Change Category" and select in which category you want to move your launcher. RE: [RELEASE] Advanced Launcher - Applications Launcher Addon for XBMC - sagaopc - 2013-05-17 angels, i have a problem now... i change config to toggle XBMC to windowned mode ON, but when i close emulator, XBMC doesn't go back to fullscreen.... it's happening with my Windows 8 and Windows 7 backup... you can help me plz?

The point is, I don't want categories at all. If I hide the default category I have nothing within ALA but the ".." with only 'add-on settings' or 'go to root' as options.
