As soon as I click on Launcher a screen pops up saying "Loading Directory" and that's as far as I get. I can do a couple of keystrokes then it locks up. Clicking cancel shows a button press but doesn't cancel and I have to kill XBMC. The only error I see in the log is that Launchers.xml doesn't exist but since I haven't created any yet I assume that's normal.

I'm having the exact same issue and I'm guessing that it's possibly something to do with Lucid?

I haven't gotten a chance to mess with this yet (new to XBMC) but can Launcher do folders? It'd be nice to have:

Code:
NES
  -- A
      -- Arkanoid
      -- Astyanax
      ...
  -- B
      -- Battletoads

Doable?

You'd have to add each folder individually as I understand. Last I saw there was no planned support for this. Someone feel free to correct me.

In the latest stable XBMC Version (9.11 Camelot), the sorting order is all wrong. Is there a way to fix this?

Look 1 page back from here...I'm trying to solve this issue too but no luck. There was a fix for earlier versions of XBMC but not newer ones it seems

Have a question? First try the XBMC online-manual and FAQ. Also: How to submit a debug log

Well, since I dont use it for emulation (but rather a front-end for my emulators) i rewrote the code. It works for regular stand-alone applications but not roms.

I might invest the time and fix it all together at some stage though.

Did you have to change many things?

I would say "yes" to that, but most likely, for someone who is familiar with the language it isnt. I am unfamiliar with it (heck, i just dusted my knowledge off and dove into manuals to do it).

Plus I ended up not making it sort by alphabetical order, but by order within the XML file, as I do like the option to sort it myself manually Smile

Does this mean, i can launch any *.exe program within XBMC? Once I clicked launch it, XBMC will hide behind the launched *.exe program? And once I closed the *.exe program, XBMC will be there in front immediately again?

Does this works with Linux XBMC too?

Thank you in adcance for your reply Smile i m still very new with XBMC.

That fixes the sort order. Sort of. You can't sort by any other order, but at least it's alphabetical like that. I'll work on allowing other sort orders when I get the time to.
