How do we replace occurrence of "special://skin/media/*"

And what it comment "Do not use special://skin/media/* as a path for images, this is incompatible with TexturePacker " means is
If you have something you don't want in the xbt then don't put it in the skins "media" dir, because when it gets added to the official xbmc repo everything in the media dir gets auto put into the Textures.xbt file. so your special://skin/media/ will no longer work because it wont be there it will be in the xbt instead

ok I understand now, thanks!

Though the comment on the wiki meant, for me, that any occurrence of "special://skin..." should be replaced to be compatible with Eden. Which now, doens't seem to be the case, from what I read here.

Mind giving a link to where it says this in the wiki, and we'll update it.
