disable windows history - tiwa75 - 2018-10-06
Hello,
I'm using the ActivateWindow to manage my Windows navigation, but, like for Pictures, when I go to a picture forlder then I'm pressing Back key on my keyboard, I come back to the home page and so if I select again Picture, Kodi point to the last pictures folder open, not to the main one. My action is like ActivateWindow(Pictures,"C:\Users\Pics\",return).
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Are you sure that you are using the "back" key? Because ESC is not the real back key unless you longpress it ...
(you can change that in your keyboard.xml file)
ESC = Previous Menu
ESC (longpress) = Back
BACKSPACE = Back
Navigation will look like this:
Picture --> Subfolder --> ESC --> Home (window state will be saved, so when you re-enter pictures you will be where you left of)
But you should be fine when using the "real" back key:
Picture --> Subfolder --> BACKSPACE / ESC (longpress) --> Picture (Root) --> BACKSPACE / ESC (longpress) --> Home

Sorry, it's ESC key. When I press ESC, I come back to the Home Page from any sub Windows.

Also because I need to get this direct "Home" page button from any window.

Have you tried a nightly build as this commit might help.
