i asked for this some time ago. Jurialmunkey said it could not be done, as I remember.

I love everything about this skin except for that one thing. It's really time consuming to browse for movies if you have a large collection.pretty much all other skins offer what you're asking, why not just use one of them, the beauty of this skin is the "low view" it offers, it's what the skin is really all about as far as i can tell, and it does it so elegantly, so perfectly, the large fanart behind the covers is awesome, but would be all but eliminated using an infowall view... re browsing using a single row of posters, i agree, very time consuming, but a great work around is just creating custom top menu items that go beyond the basic genre or favorites offerings, that way you can go directly to what you want...

There are a few features only available from extended info, so that's why there's the button. I heard something about extended info getting integrated into core. Not sure how true that is, but it would be great if it does eventually happen as it would remove the need for the info button altogether.
also, i would like to disable the "resume" dialog and have all movies automatically play from the beginning... iirc some skins have this option in settings but can't seem to this setting with fuse... if there's not a setting where can i make a file edit? thanks!

Have you seen issues where the menu items don't save? For some reason, and I think this worked fine before, it's like the menu items fail during writing. I did get the latest submenu code you mentioned a few posts back. I've reset Fuse(neue) and also SPMC entirely and started from scratch and it's still happening. I'm using the latest SPMC Krypton build and fuse(neue) 1.04.
Also, what do I need to do to get the skin backups working? It doesn't appear to save anything, regardless of where my file path is located. The restore dialog opens, so I know that part it working.
Any thoughts?

I was unable to get it to work for the other movies - I don't think the addon passes fanart through for them.

Skin is meant to be low list throughout. The skin was always meant to be an experiment with this idea. Plenty of other skins out there that give the "full" experience - I wanted to do something a bit different with this one.

I will check when I'm back at the computer.yeah, i think that's where it was with the other skins i've demoed but not with this skin as far as i can tell, nor could i find the setting anywhere else... if there's not a setting i could probably just comment out the code if you know where it is?
