Look at this tutorial, it will show you how simply create an executable launcher and add it as custom menu entry : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8edJlmG6lw(2011-01-24, 00:50)Angelscry Wrote:fr500 Wrote:I've got a feature idea. Could you add launcher id tag to the launcher itself and a way to accept arguments? If you do so skis with support for custom shortcuts on the home menu could have a way to launch common used launchers from the home menu.
Example, in shade now you can create a home screen shorcut to the script (plugin.program.advanced.launcher) if there was the id. and an option to parse arguments you could create a shortcut to the script plugin.program.advanced.launcher("1") for example and that would launch the app with id=1. If no arguments are passed then the normal app view would show.
What do you think?
This feature is already supported by the addonIt will automatically get the launcher name, launcher thumbs and put it as submenu. It is how it works for me with Alaska.Revisited. This feature is not working for roms, only for launchers. Here are the corresponding code lines of the guisettings.xml file :
- Go into Advanced Launcher
- Select a launcher
- Go into launcher context menu and select "Add to Favorite" option
- Go into you skin sub menu option and select this Favorite as submenu.
Code:<setting type="string" name="skin.alaska.revisited.programbuttonname_2">Boxee</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.alaska.revisited.programbuttonimage_2">/media/emulation/launchers/thumbs/Boxee_thumb.jpg</setting>
<setting type="string" name="skin.alaska.revisited.programbuttonpath_2">RunPlugin(plugin://plugin.program.advanced.launcher/?Boxee,return)</setting>
I know this is an old post, but I can't get this to work.
I'm adding the exefile in Advanced Launcher, add it as a favorite. Then entering Custom homemenu settings, add my exefile which I added I as a favorite.
It shows upp on the homescreen but when I try to launch it it enter the menubotton as a folder and all I can do is to press backbutton.
Also using Alaska Revisited.
