(Home)Menu link to video or picture folder doesn't show content

Hello
I've just updated from Dharma and I'm having trouble accessing a videos folder and a pictures folder. It worked perfectly on Dharma.

For the pictures folder, even if I set my folder as default folder for my pictures, I always get to the view where there is a list with my pictures folder, "add source", "picture add-ons", etc.. No way it will go to my pictures folder directly.
I tried adding the folder to my favourites, then adding it to the home menu, but accessing it I get this:

Same with the videos folder, but with a different view.
Can't make a fav link in the home menu to access the folder directly with a list view.
Also, I try to add the fav to that folder in a home submenu and I cannot change the name of it. I press DOWN, the box appears, I rename it, ENTER, and it remains unchanged. If I try to rename it again, it displays the name I tried to gave it before.

Had the same issue (with the videos) and Big Noid said it was a bug. To fix, be sure to add the videos as a favorite. Then open up the favourites.xml and remove quotes around the affected folder. Then go back to customize the home menu and add the favorite.

Removed quotes:

Old

Code:

<favourite name="Videos">ActivateWindow(10025,&quot;H:\\Videos\\&quot;)</favourite>

NEW

Code:

<favourite name="Videos">ActivateWindow(10025,H:\\Videos\\)</favourite>

Just to be clear, this is not a skin bug, but an bug in the way non library folders are are added to favorites in XBMC.

Is this going to be fixed before the eden final is released? This bug is still in beta 2.

Maybe ask ronie (in the Transparency thread), he fixed this bug in the favourites script for me:
