Clear packedgfx on startup (1 Viewer)

[wertzui]

as a skinner i would really like to see an option to clear the packedgfx files on every mediaportal start.

i hope this wont be too difficult

Not difficult at all, but it would slow down the startup process. So that's a bad idea, we just speeded up the mp start a bit during the passed months cause some peeps were complaining that startup takes way too long.

It would be good to have it as an option though. Espacially if you are playing around with skins.

I agree it doesn't make sense for all but it would help skinning.

 

[mPod]

Use a batch file. :wink:

 

[wertzui]

but that way you would either need to create a batchfile for every skin or one to delete all packedgfx files.
mp could just check (when the option is selected) wich skin is being used and delete the right file.

Oh come on, its one small batch file, your messing around with skins, I believe editing this 2 line batch file is the least of your concerns ;-)

Just a thought

 

[mPod]

Ah well, I think for some peeps it's just too hard to write some lines of batch code.
So let's hope they can add

<section name="debug">
  <entry name="skincaching">no</entry>
</section>

to their MediaPortal.xml, which will take effect in the next SVN build. :roll:

Can't you make an option i MediaPortal that adds those three lines to the MediaPortal.xml file?

I'm not sure I'm up to including 3 lines of code.

I'm hoping that this was just a sarcastic reply, nothing more
