@phil65, if you need any help; For some of the requests here I already did some coding in my skin's helper script, so I can share this with you for the toolbox script in order to other skinners can benefit from it if you want.

Looking at the request to provide the content's path to set a widget. This might be something to be added to the skinshortcuts scripts ?
Most of the code is already in there, I think it's an easy change and can add it in if you want. That way you can provide both your own defined widgets from skinshortcuts or let the user choose from a library path/location.

Any more thoughts on this?

Ideally I'd like to use the 'Just Select' method -

Code:

Just Select Shortcuts
---------------------

If you don't want to take advantage of the scripts menu management functions, you can still use the script to display available shortcuts to the user. The shortcut the user selects is then passed back to the skin for you to manage.

When using this method, you specify which skin strings you want the script to set - you can then access these as normal via Skin.String.

To use the script in this way, put the following in an onclick:

RunScript(script.skinshortcuts,type=shortcuts&custom=[True/False]&showNone=[True/False]&skinLabel=[skinLabel]&skinAction=[skinAction]&skinType=[skinType]&skinThumbnail=[skinThumbnail])

custom=[True/False] - Whether you wish to allow the user to type their own custom command. If ommitted this will default to False. [OPTIONAL]
showNone=[True/False] - Whether you wish to show a 'None' option to reset skin labels. If ommitted this will default to False. [OPTIONAL]
[skinLabel] - The skin string the script will write the label of the selected shortcut to. [OPTIONAL]
[skinAction] - the skin string the script will write the action of the selected shortcut to. [OPTIONAL]
[skinType] - The skin string the script will write the type of the selected shortcut to. [OPTIONAL]
[skinThumbnail] - The skin string the script will write the thumbnail of the selected shortcut to. [OPTIONAL]

But with an additional skin string [skinList] which works in the same way as the Favourites script -

Code:

CustomFavourite1.List (the absolute path without the 'Activate.Window()' part. can be used to fill a container with listitems)

Thanks.
