how to remove/hide .. item ?

slinuxgeek · 2012-04-10 16:38

When we open "MusicLibrary " either in Songs mode or artists mode or albums mode .
The panel container also displays an item with ".." as label, clicking on which takes us to the parent of current listing.

But I don't want to display that ".." item some times , so how can I hide that conditionally?

I have three buttons to open Music library in three modes(songs, albums and artists)
ex:
This button displays all Albums
<control type="button">
<onclick>ActivateWindow(MusicLibrary,Albums,return)</onclick>
</control>

xbmc reads MyMusicNav.xml and opens a window with all the Albums in library, but also an item ".." is displayed .
I don't want this ".."

Please help.
Thanks for Help.

Disable 'show parent folders in library' in xbmc settings

No No Martijn , I want to happen this in my skin only.

That means I have to achieve this via skinning , user should not do any thing.

Please Help
Thank You.

Not possible i think.

Indeed not possible it's system wide setting and you can't control what shows in the media lists

And you shouldn't hide it since you sometimes need it if you're using a control with very few buttons like the Apple remote for example.

There was some discussion in the development forum (my post on iPad experience) as to whether it makes sense to be determined in part by the skin or not (perhaps incorporated with the type of interface used for navigation). If your skin has an "Up" or "Back" button, there's probably no need for parent folder items, after all.

Cheers,
Jonathan
