Is it just me, or do $EXP visibility expressions not work inside includes? Seems like a bug to me.

e.g.

Code:

<include condition="$EXP[myvisibilityexpression">myinclude</include>

If I can't use them for includes they aren't a whole lot of use because I still have to maintain separate conditions for my includes and it actually makes my code more difficult to manage because I have to remember to update both conditions and the expressions rather than just do a batch find and replace.

From my testing it appears they don't work in variables either.

Yeah. They aren't much use if you can only use them in specific cases.

Agreed. These are the expressions I use, but am currently only using them in views and the video/music info dialogs.

Code:

<expression name="isPlugin">String.StartsWith(Container.FolderPath,plugin://)</expression>
<expression name="isMovie">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,movie)</expression>
<expression name="isVideo">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,video)</expression>
<expression name="isTvshow">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,tvshow)</expression>
<expression name="isSeason">Container.Content(seasons)</expression>
<expression name="isSet">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,set)</expression>
<expression name="isEpisode">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,episode)</expression>
<expression name="isMusicvideo">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,musicvideo)</expression>
<expression name="isArtist">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,artist)</expression>
<expression name="isAlbum">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,album)</expression>
<expression name="isSong">String.IsEqual(ListItem.DBTYPE,song)</expression>
<expression name="isInfoDialog">[Window.IsVisible(addoninformation) | Window.IsVisible(movieinformation) | Window.IsVisible(musicinformation) | Window.IsVisible(songinformation)]</expression>

Thanks to rmrector and xhaggi for the necessary changes that were merged into master branch.
Nightlies starting tomorrow should have the new functionality.
