Full Version: FolderName is empty for library root

Both music and video library returns empty FolderNames. FolderPath is empty, too.

Bug or a feature?

(XBMC build 8.10.)
that way it should be because your not in any folder

How come?

Home page is "root", thus:

Home page = no folder name

videodb:// = Videos
videodb://1/ = Movies
videodb://1/2/ = Titles
videodb:// = Video Library
Ok, so what should they return?
Since video files and library were merged and the same thing is planned for music, I thought it should return what I suggested above (it follows the logic: ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles) and I expect it will be similar for Music one day)

Though, I'm fine with Music/Video Library instead if the others think it would be better.
A gentle ping Smile
@pecinko:
I must say I don't really understand how those should be changed, so let's do it on examples:
video lib: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28792047/xbmc/screenshot052.png
music lib: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28792047/xbmc/screenshot053.png
addon browser: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28792047/xbmc/screenshot051.png
(above container there is [ Container.FolderName ] [ Container.FolderPath ] and appended to labels are [ ListItem.FolderName ] [ ListItem.FolderPath ])
What's wrong here and how this should look like - please use specific example I have on screenshots
Pieh,

those examples are all fine. What I'm after is

videodb://
musicdb://
add ons://
programs://

Those are empty ATM, and I consider them folders as well

videodb:// - Videos
musicdb:// - Music
add ons:// - Addons
programs:// - Programs

If I'm to use file system terminology:

I'm in ROOT on Home page. Opening add-ons:// takes me to Add-ons folder.

..// ROOT, Home page (not a folder)
../videodb:// (Videos folder)
..//Addons:// (Programs folder)

Currently, XBMC uses multiply roots as it treats Home, add ons://, programs://, videodb://... all as root folders and thus not setting FolderNames.

If this is a feature for some reason I'll accept the fact and won't bother you anymore.
