Open Folders From A Link On Dashboard
« on: December 03, 2006, 01:03:00 PM »

Hello,
I am using XBMC version 2.0 with the XbMac3R skin.
On the main Dashboard there is a Links button tool.
I have manage to rename the link to the one I want. However the link I want open are folders and not scripts.

Is there a way to have the link button open to the folder once clicked?

Basically I want the three links below to be activated
  1. Open my folder where I have all my music "f:\MP3Library\"
  2. Open a window to my saved playlist
  3. Open a window to my samba attcached drive.

I believe you could make each one of those a seperate source within MyMusic. For example if you make your MP3Library it's own source and name it MP3Library then you could have a button's <onclick> command be:

XBMC.ActivateWindow(MyMusic,MP3Library)

and it should go directely to that source.

I guarantee nothing, but I am 90% certain that will work.

Your suggestionn theorictclly works.
If I use the myprorams to active a window it works.
However the mymusic dosn't. I think its labeled differently but not sure what or where I should look.

I am using latest build of XBMC and XBMAC skin version 3.
