Button that executes a program? (1 Viewer)

[bafo]

Hi

I wonder if (in Mediaportal of course) i can have an icon (button) that when you press it, an application would be executed.
Is this possible??

Yes,
use the 'MyPrograms' - Plugin.

Dunno if there is a real 'button' to start, but at least menue entries.
regards

I think that "Myprograms" has bugs/problems in the 0.2.3 RC1 version....
Is the above right?
I can not create a filelauncher. Nothing is executed...

There is also the EasyApp plugin.
I use that in 0.2.2.0 stable and find it is a lot easier to setup than MyPrograms.

Just point to the program you want to run and select a pic to use as the icon and that's about it.

Thanks whatisk.

Yes, i checked easyapp with the stable version. It seemed ok, although if you choose to keep the MP window alive, the app isn't executed...

I just was wondering if there is any solution with the "MyPrograms" problems of 0.2.3 RC1 version.

Even though you are looking for a solution to the My Programs issue, what about the MultiShortcut plugin?

I played around with it yesterday as it allows you to easily create shortcuts to new programs on the Home (or My Plugins) menu and it seemed to work well (again on 0.2.2.0 stable).

The thread here talks about it. There are also links in it to newer versions that worked with SVNs. Though maybe the one on the plugins page would work okay?
