Possible to use substring in <texture> tag?

Walter Sobchak · 2011-09-14 13:48

I am trying to get storage flags working in a more general way:

Code:

<control type="image">

      <description>Storage Image</description>

      <width>90</width>

      <height>33</height>

      <aspectratio>keep</aspectratio>

      <label>substring(ListItem.FilenameAndPath,9,2)</label>

     <texture>$INFO[substring(ListItem.FilenameAndPath,9,2),flagging/storage/,.png]</texture>

      <visible>substring(ListItem.FilenameAndPath,/media/HD)</visible>

    </control>

The visible part works great. However the texture is not displayed. If i hardcode the texture as flagging/storage/01.png it works.

Substring is a boolean condition that only returns true or false.

Hey Walt,
nice to see you here,too...

BTW: Why using substring? Just try ListItem.FilenameAndPath...

using ListItem.FilenameAndPath will yield a faulty texture path.
Lets say that FilenameAndPath == "/media/HD01/foo.mkv" then the texture path should be "media/taggings/storage/01.png". If I would set texture to ListItem.FilenameAndPath then it would be:
"media/taggings/storage/media/HD01/foo.mkv.png"

So that is clearly not working.
Any other idea except for copying:

Code:

<control type="image">

      <width>90</width>

      <height>33</height>

      <texture>flagging/storage/02.png</texture>

      <visible>substring(ListItem.FilenameAndPath,/media/HD02)</visible>

</control>

over and over again for each "/media/HD(\d+)"?
