Actually, it doesn't work that well as you said, but it works somewhat. For example, after resetting the skin Disable Shortcut option remains disabled for ALL buttons, but only 8 are visible on home menu. Its possible the other may become visible once local VideoDB has some content. But.. once you click Disable Shortcut option back and force, the hidden button re-appears on Home Menu, but its command is changed from default like ActivateWindow(Videos,videodb://movies/titles/,return) to ActivateWindow(SkinSettings), so it doesn't point anymore where it was pointing before. What's interesting, the file userdata\addon_data\script.skinshortcuts\mainmenu.DATA.xml remains unchanged, so what file is changed by that activation?

As to layout, I'm trying the vertical one, but submenus are limited to 6 items, other only visible by scrolling. In what file I can change that? And of course some degree of control of what's updated at Kodi exit and how often is desirable for a user to avoid lengthy hangs.

OK, I can't reproduce what you're talking about. I have one shortcut ("Pictures") with no content. I can disable and re-enable it no problem and it behaves as expected. Also, I can make submenus much larger than 6 items and all appear just fine.

Are you perhaps using the Titan version from the official Kodi repo, or Marcel's beta version? You need to be using the beta version direct from Marcel's repo, as the official repo version has issues. Beta version number is 3.7.60, so if you have something different that might be your issue.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see in your original post that you are using Titan Beta. In that case, I'm not sure what you have going on, I can't reproduce the behavior you describe.
