This is a good idea. My suggestion would be to have this file, editable, somewhere in the user directory. This way one could customize it to their needs.

 I think what I would do here, is implement it in a similar way to how the library navigation nodes are. So, there is a system defined "versions.xml" or whatever that lives in Kodi's special://xbmc/system directory. That's the file that gets loaded unless it also exists in special://profile in which case that overrides the system file and those are the strings loaded into the db. Note that this will only affect the 'system' defined strings and not any defined inside Kodi.

That way, people who are happy with the default can keep it and those that aren't can make a copy of the file in their userdata directory and edit it how they want.  @XODIDOX, what do you think?

xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<versions>

<version name="Standard Version">40400</version>

<version name="Totally the best version ever">40401</version>

</versions>

Something like that.

If we are sticking with the new dialog box then I would like to see some scroll bars if there are enough versions / extras to scroll through.

@Hitcher, I guess what you are wanting re set like behaviour is what the new dialog does currently, show the different versions available?  What else is needed to implement that, the listitem stuff that @jjd-uk mentioned or does it also need the container stuff?

Apart from that, I'm happy that core is doing the right things with regards to what it's currently displaying in the node and adding / removing content correctly, as well as playing the right version(s).
