For iMON to work correctly, you need windows explorer. If you change shell, iMON won't work. In other words, you should not change shell if you have imon product.

Just edit the exit button in DialogButtonMenu.xml of the skin as shown above in the quote or replace the DialogButtonMenu.xml with the one from XBMCLauncher installer. I have no other skins installed so don't know which xml file to edit for non confluence based skins. But you can edit the xbmclauncher .ahk file to monitor xbmc.exe and start windows when xbmc closes. I will add this option in the next version so that the load window will work with other skins also without editing any xml files.

ok thanks - wlll keep an eye out for the next release.

Cheers

There is no option for specifying parameters in the app. But you can edit the XBMCLauncher.ahk file in the source code to add the parameter.

cheers i will give it a blast. have you not contacted a xbmc member to see if this can be inbuilt into xbmc for windows users as it might fix alot of people are having with xbmc on windows

the only thing you might want to add in a later version is that when you can set the single lose focus setting as on, my system losses focus in about 10 sec after windows boots and after that it does not loss focus so it might be an idea to be able to have a setting for that one to

cheers

I always wonder why xbmc developers are not including an option to set xbmc on top of other windows. Almost all media players have this feature built-in. Another feature I want from xbmc developers is the way xbmc exit is handled. If you press Alt+F4, the window will close immediately without showing any confirmation message, but the process continues to work in the background. These two features are actually easy to implement.

For your second query, give the delay to be more than 10 seconds or whatever time you want and it will trigger the focus signal at that time.

So what your saying is

To have the lose focus check at set times you would change that to say 10 sec and it will check every 10 sec but if you then go to the check loss focus once it will use the loss focus settings which would be 10sec then after that will never check again iis that right ?

But if you set the loss focus to 0 it disables it and even if you select check focus once it would not work because I have set loss focus to 0 is that correct ?


I would contact a dev to see what they can do with your prog to see if it can become part of xbmc 12 as it would be very very usefull and would get rid of a lot of windows based systems problems.
Cheers once again
