[QUOTE="bodiroga, post: 676988, member: 63563"] Hi all! Just one (although it's not trivial) question: does anybody knows how all the navigation stuff work in Mediaportal? I understand that the navigaton is controlled by the workflow files, is that correct? But for example, if we take the weather-actions file we can see: [CODE]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <Workflow DescriptorVersion="1.0"> <MenuActions> <PushNavigationTransition Id="E34FDB62-1F3E-4aa9-8A61-D143E0AF77B5" Name="Home->Weather" DisplayCategory="a-Weather" SortOrder="a" SourceState="7F702D9C-F2DD-42da-9ED8-0BA92F07787F" TargetState="44E1CF89-66D0-4850-A076-E1B602432983" DisplayTitle="[Weather.Title]"/> <PushNavigationTransition Id="65A9A5F6-CA50-4459-8E49-0DC614B7A2E8" Name="Weather->WeatherLocations" DisplayCategory="a-WeatherLocations" SortOrder="a" SourceState="44E1CF89-66D0-4850-A076-E1B602432983" TargetState="9A20A26F-2EF0-4a45-8F92-42D911AE1D8F" DisplayTitle="[Weather.ChooseLocation]"/> <MethodCallAction Id="7AEB11DE-BA40-40a2-933A-B00BBD151B08" Name="Weather" DisplayCategory="b-Refresh" SortOrder="b" DisplayTitle="[Weather.Refresh]" SourceState="44E1CF89-66D0-4850-A076-E1B602432983" ModelId="92BDB53F-4159-4dc2-B212-6083C820A214" MethodName="Refresh"/>  </MenuActions> </Workflow>[/CODE] What are all those PushNavigation IDs? What do all those numbers and letters mean? Where are they pointing at? I have tried to read the wiki, but all the BindingMarkupExtension, TemplateBindingMarkupExtension,... explications are in "To be continued" state. This is really complicated and frustrating, and the incompatibility of Expression Blend with MPF makes all more complicated (you can't see what you are doing).
