Full Version: Calling File manager window?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I'm using Kodi 17.3 with Mac mini 2015 with latest macOS Sierra and a Logitech Harmony Ultimate.
I made some changes in customcontroller.Harmony.xml in my user map.
What I'm missing is being able to call the File Manager Window from every
where. Something like button id="XXX"= ActivateWindow(Filemanager)
Is this possible or is there another solution?
Thats exactly how it should work. Not sure what exactly you are missing?
Thanks.
I tried this:

<keymap>
<global>
<customcontroller name="Harmony">
.......
<!-- F6 --> <button id="197">ActivateWindow(Filemanager)</button>


I have assigned F6 to YELLOW LongPress in my Harmony Ultimate.
This, however, gives me the window with Program Add-ons.
Enable debug logging and have a look into debug log (wiki) after pressing that button.

I replaced
<!-- F6 <button id="194">ActivateWindow(Programs)</button>
with
<!-- F6 <button id="194">ActivateWindow(Filemanager)</button>

now it's OK

thanks
