Version 2.0.0 : This new version of Advanced Launcher add categories support. You will have now the possibility to rearrange your launchers (stand-alone and files launchers) into different custom categories. This new features will definitively replace the need to use duplicate versions/instances of Advanced Launcher (which by the end do not work with last XBMC release).
When you will start this new version of Advanced Launcher for the first time, all your existing launchers will be stored into the default categorie. You will have then the possibility to create new categories and customize them (rename, add description, genre, thumb and fanart images). Each launcher context menu has now an option to move it into any category you want. The default category cannot be edited or deleted, but the Advanced Launcher settings contain an option to show/hide this default category.
Advanced launcher also include now and option to append launchers.xml files. This option is to import the launchers.xml file of your duplicate versions of Advanced Launcher and merge them into the same launchers.xml file. All the imported launchers will be merged into the default category.
If you have XBMC favourites pointing to launchers or items, they will not working anymore. Sorry. The structure of Advanced launchers URL have changed and are now :
instead of previously :
So you will have to recreate your Advanced Launchers favourites into XBMC.
