Quote:Error loading syntax file Packages/sublimekodi/kodiskinxml.sublime-syntax" :error parsing plist xml:expected < in file Packages/sublimekodi/kodiskinxml.sublime-syntax on line "

Then you probably have to wait until they release a newer one.

ok thank you

Hi Phil,

Just noticed a special case my includes return as "unused" when launching the test.
I'm using a cascading include process in order to my dialogs to display in the right place depending the parameters of the designer as follow :

In the dialog.xml (ex for keyboard) :


In the common includes.xml (ex for only one condition) :


And finally the dialog include.xml file :


I think your plugin doesn't see the final include name because it's only checking the <include name="$PARAM[DialogName]" ...>

Cheers

Code:

            <include name="DialogPOS">

In the common includes.xml (ex for only one condition) :

Code:

    <!-- Dialog Positioner -->
    <include name="DialogPOS">
        <include name="$PARAM[DialogName]" condition="StringCompare(Window(Home).Property(DialogPos),TOP) + StringCompare(Window(Home).Property(SidebarPos),TOP)">

And finally the dialog include.xml file :

        ... Blablabla

I think your plugin doesn't see the final include name because it's only checking the <include name="$PARAM[DialogName]" ...>

That new include stuff is incredibly hard to parse because skinners can do really weird stuff now.
Since I am busy with a bigger project atm it will probably take some time until I can offer full support for this.

thanks, i will look again when i have some more time no too stressed.

Do you guys know what program is the best for skinning for beginners?

Hey Phil,

I've updated to the latest Git version and now I have a strange color syntax in my variables file:



Edit:
My fault... ^^ missing ")"

Yeah that custom syntax highlighting makes errors often quite obvious.

Because https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/9534 was finally merged I can now properly make use of ST3 symbols management.
This might require that you use "KodiSkinXML" as default for .xml files (View-->Syntax--> Open all with current extension as... --> SublimeKodi --> kodiskinxml )
After that you can search through all definitions with ctrl+shift+r for example, or use ctrl+p--> some letters for file selection --> type "@" --> fuzzy-search symbols

So I've been using this for a while now, mainly the highlighting and auto closing an such. Just looking into the sanity check features but I can't get it to work. When i use the command palette nothing shows up when i type sublimekodi. Anyone got tips for me?

- Plugin is installed correctly? (on windows: C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text 3\Packages\SublimeKodi)
- skins organized as projects?

SublimeText log output could also give some hints.
When switching projects, you should get something like:
