Startup Window in Settings/Appearance Bug

Posted in xn--kfs74mzzid01b.com edit by mike on January 9th, 2009

i just discovered, that the startup window in settings->appearance doesn't work for all windows? perhaps a skin issue?

example:
in settings->appearance choose startup window -> music then restart. after restart the filemanager window comes up.

the same if you choose videos as startup window.. after restart the main settings window comes up..

i am using a compiled build from 08.02.06

thanks kraqh3d.

jm, i already added those to the gui so that its in sync with the examples in xboxmediacenter.xml. while it is possible to start in *any* window, i think it would be a bad idea to allow that from the gui. the current list represents the major windows. (though i really don't know why anyone would want to start in settings.)

in addition to changing getvalue(), i'd say that it would be a good idea to keep the current operation with getindex() or something.

i'd just like to point out that the user can choose any window they like from xboxmediacenter.xml - those ones are just listed as examples.

btw: i'm thinking of changing the spincontrol::getvalue() behaviour so that it returns the value rather than the index (i've already coded it up, but am busy checking the code for possible breakages.)

cheers,

should i also post a bugreport on sourceforge?

i wonder, why there aren't the settings for my files, settings and xlink kai in the gui (like it is in the xml)? i guess, this is by design, isn't it?

huh?

i meant, that the user can choose in xboxmediacenter.xml between
home, my programs, my pictures, my files, settings, my music, my videos and xlink kai.

but instead in the gui in settings-appearance the user can choose only between
home, my programs, my pictures, my music and my videos.

is this done on purpose? or is it a bug, too? :)

the problem is it's not using the value passed to the spin control in addvalue().

not sure why (can't recall how these function) but should be easy to fix.

i already fixed it in cvs... and it wasnt a bug that those were missing. there is no code to support them at all. i'll add them to the gui later today to match whats in xboxmediacenter.xml

here it is:

changed to:
music (gui) -> id 3 (xml)
videos (gui) -> id 4 (xml)
both are wrong.

the other settings for home, programs and pictures are working correct.
thanks. this is implemented as a spin-control which is a really a vector list. those numbers are probably the index in the vector, and not the contents. i'll take a look when i get home.

i wonder, why there aren't the settings for my files, settings and xlink kai in the gui (like it is in the xml)? i guess, this is by design, isn't it?
huh?

getvalue() is changed in my local source (only for text types of spin controls) and it works fine and makes the code neater as well.

agreed about the gui start window options - imo settings and possibly my files should be removed.

its likely not a skin issue as the window id's must be the same for all skins. it sounds like the mapping from a window name to id may just be wrong. set it to music, and then post what is in xboxmediacenter.xml. (should be five.) then repeat for video. (should be six.)

here it is:

changed to:
music (gui) -> id 3 (xml)
videos (gui) -> id 4 (xml)
both are wrong.

the other settings for home, programs and pictures are working correct.
