Hi.
As I can't find anything about this in Wiki or forum I like to ask here. I desperately missing some selecteditem related "extras" during skin modding.. As we can't do any string operation in XML (like leftstring(string) or so) it's hard to access files that belongs to the selected listitem. E.G. if we have a subdir with movie file, cover and backdrop in it's easy to reach the movie file with "#selecteditem". As example we have #selecteditem = Z:\Movies\Avatar\avatar.mkv But how can I access Z:\Movies\Avatar\backdrop.jpg or folder.jpg to show this as backdrop or cover (without database and/or fanart handler)? If we had something like "#selectdpath" containing Z.\Movies\Avatar\ this would be easy too. The only thing I know of is #selectedthumb, but that did not do the job...
Did I simply miss something already available or is this a feature that is not available up to now? In second case I would love to have this as an improvement.
Thanks.
