How I set Home property with RandomAndLastItems script :
WINDOW = xbmcgui.Window( 10000 )
_setProperty( "PictureDB.%d.Path" % ( _count ), path )
So skinners can use PictureDB.1.Path to PictureDB.10.Path for example.
Sorry for my english, but, you know, I'm French so ...

Two quick comments / bug reports.
* When adding a folder and the moving to the topfolder (by clickinging ..) the addon sometimes delete the folder that has just been added. I even get the message as if I actually chose this option. This is a new bug that was introduced in 0.6.6 and might be related to the fix you made to dialoges that didn't show?
* When scanning for keywords, it would be great if you would expand the fields you scan. Right now the only keyword field that is scanned seems to be [IPTC]Keywords but that one is far from a standard tag. Different programs seems to use different tags, and IPTC seems to lose users to XMP.
Looking through my images that I've managed with a selection of utilities, I can identify the following tags with keywords:
[IPTC]Keywords
[XMP-microsoft]LastKeywordIPTC
[XMP-microsoft]LastKeywordXMP
[XMP-dc]Subject
[IFD0]XPKeywords
Might I suggest some sort of prioritized reading of tags, so that if one tag is empty, the next one is read?

Oh - that's right. I did actually think we had this conversation before, but looking back in the thread I couldn't find the evidence. Good to hear that you are on the case.
Just spend around 10 hours copying tags from [XMP-microsoft]LastKeywordXMP (which all of my pictures had) to [IPTC]Keywords (which only around a third had). MyPicsDB only reads the last tag, and this was why I did not see the correct amount of images under each tag and why some tags where not read at all.
Now it works and I'm a happy camper. I'm just not sure what happens when I add new images, as I still don't know if WLPG writes one or the other tag - though as previously mentioned I actually thought I did.
