jmarshall Wrote:EDIT: Ok, this is in master. What do you need to do?
1. Remove any library/files buttons in MyVideoNav.xml.
2. Move any files-specific views from MyVideoFiles.xml into MyVideoNav.xml if you like (most skins I see don't need to do anything here as they use includes for views).
3. Change any references to "VideoFiles" in ActivateWindow calls to ActivateWindow(Videos,Files[,return])
4. Change any references to "VideoLibrary" in ActivateWindow calls to ActivateWindow(Videos,<whatever you had before>)
5. Remove any label control (if you have it) for the "No information in the database" message.
jmarshall Wrote:One thing I'm not sure about is the info retrieval is done in a background thread - it works quite well if you have a lot of items in a folder, but means that sorting or filtering doesn't work as we don't have the info to do it on dir listing. There's a couple of solutions to this - we could either grab the info for each item "in-line" which will slow down the directory listing (see files view in music with tag reading turned on), or could tell the view to refresh after we've got all the info, which will cause a "jarring" as the list re-sorts, or we could sort/filter as we go, which will cause items to disappear/reorder themselves, or something else entirely

X3lectric Wrote:Well only noticed when it was introduced to master two days agoor a day ago and it broke the file view completely, I was unaware of this thread or what the changes would meant until I was pointed to here on IRC yesterday.Its not destroyed, nor removed completely you go videos -> files and you have it....
X3lectric Wrote:I agree with you, this is what GIT was suppose to avoid in first place as I understood it as to Team XBMC OWN announcement., changes wouldn't be introduced half cocked, only when things were working reasonably well.
X3lectric Wrote:IF I cant give any criticism which is only viewed as negative by you, then what the point is asking for it, was there a time limit imposed?
What I learn from Team XBMC more and more is not to bother having any opinion or reporting bugs, essentially they get mostly ignored until year(s) later when then someone just goes closing them and marking them as invalid.
So Im sorry...., I wont bother in future with anything....

They are displayed in System - File manager just fine. Can you please fix this, it's really inconvenient to work with usb drives now.

I also don't mind much where it's located, options are:
Library - Portable Devices - DISK1
quick access directly from main node, but if you want to jump to other sources, it's few clicks away
Library - Files - Portable Devices - DISK1
slick, but 1 more click to get there compared to old behaviour. Not sure if that's a big issue, but worth mentioning
Library - Files - DISK1
maybe the old way is the best?
