hi all~
my scarper is IMDB and its genre sort name as we know are always action, sci-fi, sport, romance..etc,

"action" with "A", "sci-fi" with"B"...etc on XBMC genre list? anyone know how to do? tks~

Nope, this is not easily possible...
You can try it with a smart visible condition but this will be a real PITA

I could also create playlists.
you can create a link between a new button with the folder containing the movie.
example: click on action and opens the folder with the action film

@bastia:
There is no need to c&p your request that you posted twice in the other thread here and additionally write the same as PM and to open a new seperate thread...I saw this question and will respond to it when I have time for it...spamming the forums does not speed up the answer...
Also as I said in the other thread, it's hard for the people taht want to help you when change your/the concept of how your goals shall be achieved. You should decide whether you want to have a sources with different genres or smartplaylists...That is important to know as the way from what you have to do, differs quite a lot.

Where can I find the folder containing the Movies_Folder?
<item id="10">
<label> 20342 </ label>
<onclick> ActivateWindow (Videos, MovieTitles, return) </ onclick>
<icon> special :/ / skins / backgrounds / videos.jpg </ icon> <thumb> $ INFO [Skin.String (Home_Custom_Back_Movies_Folder)] </ thumb>
<visible> Skin.HasSetting (HomeMenuNoMoviesButton) + Library.HasContent (Movies) </ visible>
</ item>

I created a new button on 'home cartons.

ie if I click on the button boxes should open the folder with cartoons

Easiest thing would be add folder as a source, create a playlist to browse that source and then the onclick for your new button
<onclick>ActivateWindow(VideoLibrary,special://profile/playlists/video/Name of Your Playlist.xsp)</onclick>
