File Explorer (2 Viewers)

[1stdead]

I just installed the v1.4. Sorry forgot to say that the dll should have been in ..\windows instead of ..\windows\compression.
So my question is, does the mpei copy them the wrong place?

Re : File Explorer

OK, probably only MPEI to fix, then.
Will check it next week cause, I have no free time, at this moment.
Sorry for delay.
for your report.

When using MPEI plugin to update File Explorer v1.3.0 to File Explorer v1.4.0, the installer shows v1.3.0 is being installed. The same thing happens while using MPEI Extension Installer from desktop! The MPEI package on the first post installs correctly though.

Hi framug, I just installed your plugin and started skinning for StreamedMP. I have a few questions and problems....

1. What are the following skin files for:
File Explorer_dialog.xml
File Explorer_modulepreview.xml
File Explorer_musicpreview.xml

The only ones I have done so far and understand how they work are:
File Explorer_main.xml
File Explorer_textpreview.xml

2. When I click on an image, Music Now Playing is displayed. I presume that is what musicpreview.xml is for?

3. When I view a text file I see lot of glitches (see screen shot).

I have also posted the skin files I have done.

Hi ltfearme,

1. What are the following skin files for:
File Explorer_dialog.xml

For contextual menu (right click on a file or, click on menu left or menu right) :

File Explorer_modulepreview.xml
File Explorer_musicpreview.xml

These files were there for historical reason, inside older Blue2 and Blue2 Wide skins.
Therefore, I can't find something related to them, inside plugin code.
So, IMHO, you can forget these xml files.

2. When I click on an image, Music Now Playing is displayed. I presume that is what musicpreview.xml is for?

hmm weird, just tested on B3, when I click on a image, I can see picture displayed, not Now Playing displayed, even with music started before.

3. When I view a text file I see lot of glitches (see screen shot).

maybe a fanart problem or something like that ?
Again, no problem on B3 :

I have also posted the skin files I have done.

NICE !!!

I think it works fine without...are you sure that wasn't there for historical reasons as well?

See screenshot below.

I see the same in b3w, very unusual.

hmmm, I also see the problem in B3W...maybe its graphics card related.

You are true.

GUIDialogOperation.cs :

    public override bool Init()
    {
      //start fmu
      //commented for test
      //return Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + "\\File Explorer_dialog.xml");
      return true;
      //end fmu
    }

Seems like this plugin ans skins files need a little cleanup/delete.

hmmm, I also see the problem in B3W...maybe its graphics card related.

Just tested at work, with an integrated Intel Q965/Q963 graphics card with B3W and music playing (with visualization), .txt file is displayed without problem, here.

Um, I'm pretty sure _dialog.xml is needed. I see references to GUIDialogOperation everywhere in the code. It will work like you changed it but you won't see any operations in progress on screen.

Re : File Explorer

Hi SE,

Can you explain more what you mean ?
Or, give a specific example where it is not working ?
The only removed code is skin related, beause IDs 2, 3 and 4 are already in the File Explorer_main.xml.
Methods inside GUIDialogOperation class are still here and, can be called.
If I try to change a driver letter or, rename a file, then, it still work.

Hi framug, I managed to see where it is used. For testing I selected a large amount of files for copy.

Note: the b3w skin needs a few tweaks

EDIT: I added the FileExplorer_Dialog.xml to my original post.
