No File Menu in skin other then Blue?

hendriku · 2008-12-22, 12:18

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to MP but got it up and running now. I was wondering if it's common that I can't use the File Menu (it's on in config) in a skin other than Blue? I tried Monochrome and Indigo but neither of them provide the File Menu, while it is there when I use the Blue skin. Can't find any settings for it, is there another way to do this? I find it nice to use to update newly added movies for example.

In my skin (MediaStream) it's available with F9 (default button at least) or right-click with mouse. I don't think it's intentional, if any skin doesn't show the context-menu, as this is vital to many plugins.

ah, I'm using the remote for almost everything so maybe I'm simply using the wrong buttons. However, I can't find a layout for the buttons and the mapping in the config doesn't help. Well, I'm going to try some buttons then!

Update; clearly my bad here. The File Menu I was looking for is only available in Shares view, while I always use the Title view.

thnx anyway.
