    Hmm, don´t know what you mean - the file is named en-US.xml and it doesn´t open in the language tool. Ahh - my file is named de_DE.xml, not de-DE.xml... :oops:

    Language tool is able to handle such files ( as MovingPictures type ).

    Dukus, may I make a suggestion for skinning the info screen.

    Currently the skinner needs to use the relevant properties e.g. #MPE.Selected.isinstalled to determine if a button should be visible. This ends up with gaps when using a Stack Layout.

    I think if you just controlled all that from the plugin it would be much better. I suggest in code you change the Enabled state rather than visibility as most skins will probably want to show a gapless list of controls.

    On the topic of the GUI Buttons, I would suggest making the Install/Uninstall and Enable/Disable as ToggleButtons...So you will have two controls instead of 4, making this change will break skins though.

    EDIT: after some thought Install/Uninstall would not be good as a toggle button but perhaps a single button which basically changes its label and function based on its state.

    ltfearme: yeah i agree :) The info screen has some very weird navigation..

    Some of the labels on info page need translation as well.

    I made a test version, for browsing Mp main site repository , in this version only the browsing is working, i search for a solution to install plugins (files like exe's or zip's) directly from mp GUI.

    I need some feedback if the browsing is working, (use the view button)

    Some progress : now it is possible to install exe's and mpe1 files, but one by one only.

    Nice work Dukus - does this work with MP 1.1.x or only 1.2.0 alpha?
