hallo packstlauren, it s me again:

How does the window thing work?

I look up the id here: Window IDs - MediaPortal Wiki ?

make an ne activate window thing, ad the window id from above, change the name...ready?

In the xml file, the window id gets not saved : <actions type="activateWindow" name="New Action" xmlns=""/>.... thats all

If i manualy insert the window id afte xmlns only my plugins opens...

What do i wrong?

Hi cubii,

I think that you should have something wrong on your system. For me everythings is ok, the xml configuration file is saved everytime i press "save".
For the windowId you have to check in your skin configuration. I just tried with the ID 0 for MyHome and it works fine.

If you want to use the Activate Window Command, you have to do a right click on a menu (the first for example). In the context menu, you select "add action" and then "activate window".

You can observe that your menu has been added of a new command named "New Action". When you select this new command in the tree, you can see two text boxes in the right panel :
- one for the name of the command (that what you will see in the menu in MEPO) (ex : Goto to Picture)
- one for the window id, you have to provide the window id you want to activate. (ex 2, i.e. the ID of the Picture screen)

When you have finished to configure your command click on the "Validate" button, otherwise you will lost your changes.


For an "Execute Command" it is the same, but in the right panel you have 3 text boxes :
-one for the name of the command (ex : MyCommand)
-one for the program you want to launch ( ex c:\foo.exe)
-one for the arguments of the program ("bar")

If you want to add submenus, you have to add a Menu to another menu. The submenu is added as a child in the tree. You can rename it, by selecting it and changing his name in the right panel.

Finally you have to click on "Save" button in order to save the configuration in a config file. Otherwise ALL your modifications will be lost.

It can't be more simple.
