First off, lemme compliment BenJeremy on the coolest dashboard ever.  I'm especially impressed with the usefulness of the context menus.  Even just using the current, non-WIP version we can already do more with this dashboard than with anything else.

This is working, at least on my box, in most cases.  I've had problems with what I believe is its failing to read bad media that don't appear to be fixable without exception handling.  I've also had problems on some retail games (which this should hypothetically copy, though I haven't had much success of yet) with detecting gamesize (which is why I've got an option to skip if 0) and with getting the math to work out.  Try this on a multigame, and tell me if the remaining space it predicts is right or not.  I've tried dividing by both 1000000 and 1024*1024, but it doesn't come out right either way.  Also, filepath is currently set at f:\HDDLoaderSomething, with something being selectable by the user from three options: MXM_entry.xml title, XBE title, and game directory title.  User will get more control once I've got ahold of a non-WIP virtual keyboard and/or the highly-anticipated next version.  

Last, this needs to be in a context menu to work.  It relies a lot on the variables that it inherits by being in one.  That said, knock yourselves out.

cool!  good idea!

maybe an uninstall too?

yes, FILESIZE doesn't seem to work as expected.  i haven't tested it in WIP, but in non-WIP it seems to pick one file in a directory and report that as the filesize for the whole directory.  it is consistent about which file it picks, but i never could figure out how it was picking the file.

as far as the non-WIP keyboard goes, check out the scripts on www.allxboxskins.com

Yeah, I have an uninstaller written, too.  Just didn't post it.  I'll toss it up there when I get home.  I'll check out AXS, too.  I thought all the keyboards were for the WIP release, so if not, then I'm one happy scripter.  

Also, I've had trouble copying games from my old MenuX discs with this.  I imagine that's just because they're old beat-up DVD+Rs.

And here's a weird phenomenon I've run into because of this.  Some retail games appear to detect wrong.  My MXM only detects the demos on Halo, for instance, and both Morrowind and THUG come up with the HD mode options instead of the DVD ones.  Weird, eh?

Yeah once next "public" release is out, scripters wil want to rewrite there scipts using the internal Vkeyboard though, to give users a consistency of what to expect when they want to input something.... WIll be nice too, cause you can break it down to have just the numeric keypad for numbers and so on...
