[FEATURE REQUEST] reload skin inside shutdown menu when in dev mode

msaspence · 2009-04-05 12:25

would it be possible to add a reload skin button to the shutdown menu for modders

might be a bit more "professional" if it was conditional on being in dev mode
or even had its own setting in the skins advanced settings

I have looked at modding this myself by cant find any reference anywhere on the action to reload the skin , i could have sworn i had a skin that did this once

MediaStream has it.

yeah thats what i though but i cant find it

is it in the shutdown menu

do i need to enable it in a advanced setting or something?

it's better to have a key for Refresh
keymap.xml

Code:

<keymap>

  <global>

    <keyboard>

      <end>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</end>

    </keyboard>

  </global>

  <Home>

    <keyboard>

      <end>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</end>

    </keyboard>

  </Home>

</keymap>

It was in the Home.xml.

Code:

<onclick>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</onclick>

brilliant thanks

after some digger i found that djh has already implemented this

if you turn on developer mode in the the skins advanced settings
settings->customise->advanced->general

it will appear in the home menu

although the key idea i think is best thanks for that

I like the key mapping idea - F5 would be my obvious choice.

msaspence · 2009-04-05 13:00

yep thats the exact key i chose

It appears in the Home menu and every media window. I've had problems with using it from the shutdown menu where, once reloaded, the shutdown menu stops working. That's why it's not there.
