I still don't see any very good reason not to include it in the skin (it will always be as updated as your skin is...), BUT if you want, I could write a small script you can include in the skin that will enable this to work.

It will
1) Check to see if q:/scripts/TWC Supplemental exists
2) If so, launch script
3) If no, Present a yes no dialog asking the user if they want to download it
3) Download it if yes

indeed rwparris2 thats the best way to go about it if you ask me mc360 did the same thing with the old xbmcscripts.com installer

Oh okay... thats sounds great rwparris2... that sounds great... and as this is a new dimention to me, instruct me on how to get this thing into my skin... guess it won't be to hard... but that will definately be a cool feature to put in there, and I'm sure it'll open the door to more similar ideas in horizonz... thanks man... and thanks for helping Jezzy!

Jezz_X Wrote:The reason the feature to check if a file or folder existed was never added (asked for many times before) was because it would have to hammer the filesystem too much because of the way the skin condition system is done by checking and rechecking every frame (or somthing like that) at least thats what jmarshall told me ages ago

I'd hope not

Seems like the logical thing to do is have the conditional check on page load... only once. The "hammer" would be a cotton ball, only used once, if done this way

I'm hoping a skinner puts in this feature request again... Maybe explaining usage would be helpful in hte request.

I'm amazed that the engine does not have this feature, it seems like it would be used a lot since we are now going to Linux/Windows where interactivity with other apps is going to be expanded greatly.

Livin your missing my point its that currently if added thats how it would work because its how all currently work It needs a redesign of somthings internally of the skin conditions for it to do what you want.
And at the time JM was not prepared to do that for 1 skin condition

If "all conditions" work that way then the HDD would be thrashing all the time since many skins have conditional items in them... since back in the XBOX only days.

thanks rwparris2, working hard on volume IV and it would be great if i could get ur feature in there... i'll check back
