Hi,

In my settings.xml I have something like this:

Code:

<setting id="Location" type="action" action="RunScript($ID,SetLocation)" default=""/>

What I want to do now is call RunScript with a different script to the one defined in addon.xml (ie default.py) which is then referenced by $ID. Is there a way to do this?

Ie I want...

Code:

<setting id="Location" type="action" action="RunScript(/home/elliot/.xbmc/addons/discobus/setup.py,SetLocation)" default=""/>

[*Context: I don't see the need to have to jump into a script that has nothing to do with the function at hand. I want one script to handle settings and one to do the day to day running of the addon *]

Are there any other $ variables available, or can I add another script library (?) to addon.xml which can then somehow magically be refered to in settings.xml?

You can do the former, you just have to specify the full path.

You should, I think*, use something like 'special://home/addons/...'

Ah OK. http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Special_protocol

And all sub folders are translated to the OS versions too?

I'll experiment in the morning.
