Hi @sualfred

I have a feature request. Something i miss that skin helper provided, as I removed skin helper support a few months ago, due to my concerns of it not being future proof and some noticeable slow down when it retrieves images from the web.

https://github.com/kodi-community-addons...rce-addons

My usage scenario;
For skin shortcuts, in the main menu i allow the user to select a thumb for main menu icons, from a image resource addon.
In the skin-shortcuts.xml, when selecting the thumbnail i added this onclick condition

Code:

RunScript(script.skin.helper.service,action=selectimage,header=Choose Icon,skinshortcutsproperty=MenuIcon,resourceaddon=resource.images.skinicons)]

The script sets a skinshorts cuts property that is used in the main menu, also providing a list of images for a particular type of resource addon.


This is also used for setting a skin string to change the default backgrounds.

Cheers
Mr. V
