Point 'Pictures' at specific folder?

I'd like Alaska's Pictures menu option to go straight to the contents of a specific folder.

Includes_Home_1.xml has

<item id="6">
<description>Pictures</description>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Pictures)</onclick>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(nopictures)</visible>
</item>

Is it possible to change that to go somewhere specific?

Cheers,

Justin

Simply focus on the folder you want to use, bring up the Context Menu and select 'Make Default'.

Really? If I go into Pictures and browse for a folder and bring up the menu, the options I have are:

View Slideshow
Recursive Slideshow
Regenerate Thumbnails
Go To Root
Switch Media
Add To Favourites
Settings

Am I in the wrong place?

Cheers,

Justin

Go back one level so you're not actually in the folder but focused on it.

That's where I was - looking at the name of the folder of whose contents I want to be the default.....

Justin

Sorry, add the folder you want as a source in Pictures, then you'll be able to make it Default.

Hehe I'd just figured that out as well Hitcher

However doesn't seem to work. I choose 'Make Default' and go back out to the main menu. Hit 'Pictures' and I'm back to the normal listing

default only applies the first time you enter a window after startup of xbmc, after that directory history kicks in.

if you want to make it always go to a specific directory you use

activatewindow(picture,<path>) in the skin.

Ah that worked - restarted XBMC and it went straight to the default. Shame going back out doesn't jump straight from my default to the main menu, but I can live with that

Cheers guys!
