Continuing conversation from another thread...

that way the user does not have to set up a custom playlist for many use cases. (i want basically the same as Skin.SetPath(some_skin_string_name,library://) on skinning level. )
I didn´t download the latest GIT though, there it is possible?
Probably the wrong thread to discuss script.skinshortcuts, so you could also just quote me and continue in the right thread. (or write a PM)
(I´m not talkin about custom library nodes here in specific, just the default ones)
Ah, ok. That's not possible at the moment. Actually, though, a lot of the code to do it is already present and would just need hooking up. The big problem is that it needs the script to switch to using video nodes for all shortcuts (ActivateWindow(Videos,library://videos/movies/titles.xml) rather than ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles) as it uses now). This is the plan, but there are a few issues to be worked around before it's ready.

Just a heads up, changes which promote video nodes over traditional library links (videodb://movies/titles/ as opposed to MovieTitles) have now landed. As well as giving the new shortcut options proposed by Phil65, I recommend changing default shortcuts to use video nodes and ensuring any shortcut overrides work with both traditional library links and video nodes. As always, all details in the readmes.
(And we're just one feature away - basic integration for skins where the script provides the whole menu for my WIP video node editor script - from a new release on the repo
)
Cheers.

Could you give it a try with the git version? I'm unable to recreate the problem with that version + a Windows VM
(Bearing in mind there's some incomplete code on git right now - my evening project
- so some things may not be working)

When using <backgroundBrowse>True</backgroundBrowse> would it be possible to set the opening folder in the overrides.xml?
Now on git.
<backgroundBrowse default="protocol://path/to/folder/">True</backgroundBrowse>
