[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1185084, member: 141969"] I have now tested the fixes for MP 1.12. I tested all three panels ("Music", "Pictures", and "Videos"), and nothing looked incorrect -- my video folders were present on the "Videos" panel, and the duplication of the list on the "Music" panel did not occur. The behaviour of the EJECT button on the remote, and of the "Load" and "Eject" entries on the context menus, were as expected -- they performed their named functions, and did not act as toggles. (y) However, there was one aspect of the dialogue that stuck me as less than optimal. I don't know where this arises -- it might be the skin, or it might be hardcoded behaviour somewhere else within MP. This is the scenario: (1) I have arranged my video folders so that the entry for the CD/DVD drive is [B]not first[/B] in the list. (2) I move the focus to the entry for the CD/DVD drive, display the context menu, and select "Eject" to open the CD drawer: (Edit: this image incorrectly shows "Load" with the focus -- it should be "Eject") [ATTACH]179140[/ATTACH] (3) The drawer opens, and [B]the focus moves to the first entry in the list[/B] :(. I load the DVD, move the focus back to the entry for the CD/DVD drive, display the context menu, and select "Load". The drive spins up, and the "DVD open" pop-up appears: [ATTACH]179141[/ATTACH] (4) If I select "No" at this point, [B]the focus once again moves to the first entry in the list[/B] :(: [ATTACH]179142[/ATTACH] I think that the focus ought to remain on the entry for the CD/DVD drive in both cases (the "principle of least surprise"). The skin is the discontinued "DefaultWide", so if this behaviour originates with the skin, it is unlikely to be changed. I will try MP 1.15pre tomorrow and see if the current "DefaultWideHD" behaves in the same way (but I think that this is a separate issue, so not part of the fix for the eject button). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
