Favourite naming in skin settings
#1
Hi Ronie
Before the final releases of Frodo and T! 5 I experienced some problems with previous namings of submenu favourites hanging on to the submenu (while in skin settings).
See this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=146225

The problem hasn't disappeared with the upgrades to stable versions. So when I go to skin settings and look at the submenu favourites they are named:
"favourite 1 - youtube"
"favourite 2 - ..."
And I cannot change this - neither by changing the favourite for each button nor by unticking it.

I have uninstalled T!, replaced guisettings and tried different other things, but not the right one, obviously.

One solution would be to reset my master profile, but is that possible? I mean creating a new user profile, and subsequently making this my new master profile?

i'm gonna need a Debug Log of you trying to change a favourite.
when doing this, the top item in the favourites selection list should be 'None (clear current settings)"

also which version of T! are you using?
(check settings > system info for the version number)

no errors in the log and you seem to be taking all the right steps.
i have no idea why it wouldn't work for you.

the only relevant file in your profile is guisettings.xml
as that's where the skin stores all it's settings.

Just to make sure we are talking about the same thing - I have posted a screenshot
"[image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/88097663@N02/9154895406/]"
It shows how the previously (during Eden and T! v.4) entered name of a favourite button now is integrated with the favourite text - it doesn't change with language settings either.
I replaced guisettings.xml with that from another machine, but while the skin settings changed accordingly, the error remained...

ah, a picture says more than a thousand words :-)

that's indeed a bug in the skin right there.
i'll add it to the list of things to fix for the next release.


cheers mate!

Sounds great - I'll be waiting for that release!
Meanwhile - why on earth doesn't the bug disappear when I uninstall+reinstall T!?
And how about just copying a /userdata/addon/transparency folder from a machine without the bug?
Maybe because it is a bug Confused And now - time for vacation Cool
