File Explorer (5 Viewers)

[powermarcel10]

I just downloaded and tried with that installation (January 6), but not known anything different than what I was using before (except for the presence of new language files and the files of titan skin). I have no strange message at the start of MediaPortal.
The only difference should be the language used. Have you tried to use another language?
Maybe the language file you are using (_de?) contains errors

Well, I'm shure now it's a language thing! When I set Mediaportal in English everything is fine.. Back to Dutch and the problem is back.. But I'm not shure it's in the language file of FileExplorer itself.. When I save the english language file that should be fine as "strings_nl.xml" the problem is still the same.. So it doesn't matter wich language file I'm using..

So the question is now: What can the problem otherwise be? An error in the language file of Mediaportal itself?

EDIT: Can you confirm this by testing Mediaportal in Dutch?

Can you open lang file in web browser to check it is errror free itself?

I have found the problem!! The installer I have made putted the Dutch language file for File explorer in the default language folder: C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\language instead of C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\language\File Explorer..

I added it later, and not the way it should.. So I putted the original Dutch Mediaportal language file back from another pc, and everything is fine!

Thanks for you suggestion. Without your help I shouldn't find it!

Hi people,

I need your feedback please..

Now I have have found the bug I need to compile a new version of the MPE1 package.. I have added support for the DriveFreeSpace plugin in the skinfiles for Titan to show how many space you have left on you harddrive(s) as I think that this is a must have option for this plugin.

What do you think about the screenshot attached? If there is no negative feedback I will include them in the next version..

BTW: The blue bar at the buttom of the screen is only visible when DriveFreeSpace is enabled!

Thanks!

What is the giant red image in the center?
It looks completely dissonant here I think.
And using another plugin just for showing free scape is a bit excessive. Better to add skin property to FileExplorer itself.
just my 2c

Well, that's a bit rude, but hey; I can handle that..

-About the red image in the middle, it's a image with 2 arrows in two directions to make it clear that you need to select a folder on the left to copy/move files to a selected folder on the right, and vice versa.. For me personally that was not clear the first time I used the plugin.. Do you know what I mean? Offcourse I can add some other image if you don't like this one..

-Like I said, when you have file explorer not installed/disabled, you didn't see the blue rss border and the text in it.. So that's no point I think.. And I think it's a nice option to see how much space is availible on you machine as this is no Mediaportal feature yet, and Fileexpolorer is the right plugin to show that kind of information in my opinion.. But I think you're not using DriveFreeSpace? Or do you mean you would like to add the option to show availible space to the file explorer plugin itself..

I just think this image could be muuuuch smaller and not red
And yes I 'm even not using fileexplorer for a long time sorry. Will try to look at it. I almost sure it could show free space itself with little improvement

I use HTPC info to get this information (along with others such as temperature and fan speeds)..
From my point of view is an improvement to know the space available in the file explorer, I guess the fastest thing at the moment is to integrate DriveFreeSpace, but if it bothers enable a plugin anymore, just keep it disabled and everything will be as before. .
I guess the red button serves to swap the boxes right <-> left[DOUBLEPOST=1359913175][/DOUBLEPOST]sorry: you posted while I was writing ..

 

[powermarcel10]

And what about this?

EDIT: The arrows can a little bit smaller..

And just to make clear: This is how it looks if you have DriveFreeSpace NOT installed
