Guys, is it possible to label a widget with whatever name we want ?

I noticed that it is possible with every type of widget except List and I don't know why. As soon as you pick a playlist as a target for the widget, even if you named it right, it shows either "Movies" or "TV shows" that is to say the type of the playlist.

It's frustrating cause list widget was my favourite..Any idea on how to correct that ?

And I found two more bugs :

1) When you press i on a widget to see the cast, sometimes the thumb of the first actor of the cast is not visible until it's highlited with the keyboard.


Here you can see a nice widget with all the cast of a movie.

Then if I go on another movie which contains less actors than the first one (look at the cast for Balto) :

It's the cast of the first movie again.

Looks like there is a mistake in the widget template.

In regards to the cast, if you have a fresh install with skin helper service there seems to be a little bit of lag until some sort of cache is built up.

In the template.xml Line 318 should be $SKINSHORTCUTS[name]
I noticed the cast issue myself when it was first added to the widget info. At the time I wasn't to sure what I could do to fix the issue and it was something that I forgot to mention or do anything about. The variables may need to be looked at. I am not sure but using the dbid could be faster?
