Wait, I don't think I understand the install process.
Firstly. Do I need to copy (from the zip) the Launcher folder and rename it for every program I wanna launch? I tried to set one up, decided it was wrong (as it failed to work) and then when I deleted the source and tried to add a new one it kept taking me to a folder instead of asking me the next question it had before (the folder was titled same as the program i'd just tried to set up).
I am also getting a bit confused by the install instructions.
Installation:
1. unzip the file into Plugins/Program directory. Should I rename it for every program?
2. (linux users only): create a symlink for /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 named /usr/lib/libcurl.so (run: "sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl.so" in terminal) Windows
3. Run XBMC:
3.1. Switch to MC360 Skin (or some other skin that has "Programs" Section) Using Project Mayhem
3.2. Go to Games -> Applications -> Add Source -> Browse -> Program Plugins Programs is on main page
3.3. Select Launcher and Click "OK" I did this before and was asked to select 1 or 2 options, they were something like standalone program and file launcher (don't remember the words off-handHere's where the new problem begins. Instead of getting the 2 options I now get the screen linked below.
3.4. Click OK Again. At this point I was confused and on my own as now it started asking me to link the program to launch and associate file extensions.
3.5. Right Click on "Launcher" Icon
3.6. Choose "Add to Favorites"
3.7. Switch back to PMIII Skin.
3.8. Click on the Arrow in the bottom right corner
3.9. Choose "Launcher"
I went thru it all, it seemed to be working out despite the confusion. Finished. Clicked. A window comes up asking if it should import or search for files in the directory, i said 'no', nothing happens. Just backs out of the operation I guessed. I tried again, said 'yes', it scanned, said 0 files loaded and....I can't seem to remember what it did right there.
Point is that now I can't even try again cuz of whatever its showing below. I tried to copy over it. I tried to delete then re-copy it. It continues to be there in either case, so I'm stumped.
While I'm at it, I don't wanna start a new thread something so trivial; What the heck is this empty box for? The blue arrow opens it up but nothing's ever been there. Is that My Favorites list?
