Does this mean we'll get a qualar release soon: http://xbmc.org/theuni/2010/07/18/dharma-branched/ ??
For some things (like xbmcsubtitles) I still have to use confluence, but I really prefer qualar/rapier.

Here is the first release under the new branch

Qualar Rapier 3.7


I have not finished the addon browser yet but have put a placeholder there if someone would like to work on it. For now just use Confluence to enable the addons you want.

Please report bugs and any features that need to be added to support the new system.

Trying this out, have missed the Rapier skin for quite soem time now. Now I am not sure if this is something that has always been like this in Qualar, but when I used to use it, if I paused a movie, the bar was at the top with all the info, about runtime, codecs, also the time was displayed when the movie would end. Not a big thing but would like that back if possible. Thanks for all your work again! Wink

No that was removed in the mod and replaced with the smaller more inobstrusive scan bar. If you want to display that info. You na press info to get the movie info or M to bring up the large scan bar at the bottom of the screen.

@qualar

how can i add a sub menu item under movies? trailers etc.

added this in home.xml under movies menu bar below years item.

Code:
<item id="6">
<description>Files</description>
<label>744</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoFiles,return)</onclick>
</item>

I'm having problems with the focused (blue) animation, it never goes over my item.

You are limited to 5 items.

FYI, the 3.7 archive has a corrupt studio .jpg. WinRAR returned
Rapier Qualar 3.7.zip: CRC failed in skin.rapierqualar\media\flagging\Studios\Compass International Pictures.png. The file is corrupt

I just manually deleted that image within the archive before expanding, and that worked.

System Settings/Appearance/Screensaver/Slideshow/Settings still does not work. Should bring up options for the screensaver slideshow.

You said, the add-on browser isn't functional yet here, but should the add-on settings work? In Apple Movie Trailers - Lite, the Context/Plug-in Settings doesn't work. Though as you say, can all be tweaked in Confluence for now.

BTW, thanks for keeping this great skin/mod running.

I'm still a fairly inexperienced XBMC user and haven't really used the original Rapier skin, but I wanted to make a few notes on this skin.

As curtis-r said, when I used 7-zip to unzip the Qualar Rapier 3.7, I had an error and it wouldn't unzip. I did the same thing as he did to resolve the issue.

When moving the mouse cursor quickly up and down "Movies" in List Info and List Info 2, it seems to lag a bit. I also lag in the same views when scrolling quickly with the mouse wheel, as well as in Fanart and Large Poster (and slightly in Wrap Info). I have very little to no lag with the other views.

I have no problems with lag with any of the views in "TV Shows."

When I right click on a movie or tv show, I can only right click on the right side or below that object to get rid of the menu. I think it might be better if I can right-click on other areas to close the menu.

I have a hard time invoking the top bar to access views, sort, library, search, etc... in Movies and TV Shows. I can't seem to do it with the mouse in most of the views. In some views, it works if I move the cursor to the upper left corner, and even then I can't move the mouse over other items to invoke their drop-down menu. I have to right-click out while leaving the cursor on the bar before I can left-click on an item. Most of the time, I have to use the keyboard to get there.

Just for a note, I'm using an Intel i3-350m (laptop) with Intel HD and my collection is small.
