[confirm] #itemtype not working in string.equals (1 Viewer)

[cul8er]

Hi,

It looks like #itemtype not working in string.equals() statements in skins. Using this;
<visible>string.equals(#itemtype,#(L(528)))</visible>
would work in MP1.2 but does not work in MP1.3 Alpha.

No errors in logs. I have tried the same skin (Avallonis) in MP1.2 and this works and using MP1.3 and it does not work.

To test this;
1. open your mymusicgenres.xml in DefaultWide skin and add this code;

<control>
    <description>Test</description>
    <type>fadelabel</type>
    <id>1</id>
    <posX>20</posX>
    <posY>200</posY>
    <width>550</width>
    <font>font12</font>
    <textcolor>FFFFFFFF</textcolor>             
    <label>Test text</label>
    <visible>string.equals(#itemtype,#(L(528)))</visible>
</control>

2. Run MP and goto myMusic
3. Switch to Album Artist view and you will see that the new fadelabel does not show as it should.

More info;
1. The #itemtype will be "Album Artist" so this is correct
2. The #(L(528)) will translate into Album Artist

But the evaluate does not do its job properly anymore.

Please let me know if you need more info.

best regards

Well, so far none of the experts have commented. I know how busy they are, but I am sure they will get round to it.

Same problem here. Seems to be broken.
