PHP Code:Run ( 'C:\Windows\System32\PsTools\pssuspend.exe XBMC.exe' )
Run ( 'D:\GameEx\GameEx.exe' )
ProcessWaitClose ( 'GameEx.exe' )
Run ( 'C:\Windows\System32\PsTools\pssuspend.exe -r XBMC.exe' )
WinSetState ( 'XBMC', '', @SW_MAXIMIZE )
may be an error in the code ?

Do I really need 400 copies of the same artwork in my fanarts folder to cover my avengers collection?There is actually two solutions : make 400 copies of the same artwork (as you do) or manually link all your artwork issue to the same artwork file. I'm agree with you, that's not really easy. I will try to see if it is possible to add an option into Advanced Launcher to automatically assign the launcher fanart to all the related items fanart.

Also will the comics import into a new installation the way I set them up if the .nfo files are there?No. .nfo files only contain data information, no images (thumbs or fanarts). You cannot earse the artworks files, because it is those files that are used do be displayed into XBMC. .nof file do not contain any setup information. All the setup/data/image paths are located into the launchers.xml file. It is this file that you have to backup if you want to import all the information for a new installation (except that the absolute path to files could be different for an installation to another). To resume :

I have almost 4000 comic scans now and that equals a ton of time to invest.Actually you can export .nfo files : item by item or launcher by launcher. You can also export all the item .nfo files of a same launcher. But actually Advanced Launcher do not allows to export all the .nfo files at the same time.
(2012-08-16, 23:55)dkplayaclub Wrote: 4.) Almost forgot this one. Many of my scans are all set up and renamed so they all match. When I go to import the data, they are always renamed. Is there an option to import data from the scraper without changing the names (which do not match the file names in most cases)?Yes, there is an option into Advanced launcher ("Ignore Scraped Title") to force to display the filename of an item instead of the scraper title into XBMC.

I'm new to this so I appreciate help from all of you experienced peopleAccording to your screenshot, there is something wrong with the arguments of your Dolphin launcher. Which argument are you using? Could you please post here the content of your launchers.xml files using pastebin service.
I installed the dolphin emulator and am trying to set it up with advanced launcher. The game runs really well without going through xbmc. However when I set it up to run through xbmc it always returns this page when I launch the game.

Here is a Youtube tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gMFJcxdcEg. And as proof, this is how look like my XBMC devellopement system with 5 version of Advanced Launcher installed at the same time :
