Bug Problem with the 'Slim List' View Mode
#1
Hi,

I have a strange bug.
Only in the Slim List view mode I have this [/B] which remains there,
While in the other view modes it doesn't there.
Why is that?
* Just to mention there are some addons that are ok with the Slim List, but maybe they don't have colors, bold etc.)

Dude, do u get that when using slimlist with local videos? it looks like the label formatting is coming from the addon side, not the skin.
I also looked at the slimlist file and didn't find a reason for this to happen.

 Hi, sorry i couldnt reproduce this. U also looking at the code and everything is fine there . So its not a skin issue. You can look in the addon folder. 
 Or ask a question in the thread of that addon.

So why this could happen only in this view mode? With the others everything is ok.
I it was a skin issue so all the view modes should also show the same.

I'll tell u why. because the addon is giving a bold label formatting for some text.
eg 
Code:
(B)some_text(/B)
The skin is also reading the text and gives it bold format. then it gets
Code:
(B)(B)some_text(/B)(/B)
(used parenthesis but meant [ ])
So the first [/B] close the tag and the 2nd is read as text.

It's just bad practice to pass format labeling through the addon itself. and so, u're left with two options:
- remove the .. in the addon py
- remove the the .. in the skin

Yes, it seems that only "SlimList" wrapped the " $INFO[ListItem.Label] " with the (B) tags, and it seems that the addon doing it also.
So after removing the (B) tags in the xml (Regular and Focused states), it's ok.
But other addons that are using it, won't show the titles in bold.
