If the launch option is already active I would apreciate some help in making it work.

The Launch screen is fully functional already. You basically need to set up a "launch" folder in the same format of MediaCar (SubFolders are the program names and a INI file in the folder has parameters such as path and Window title to enbedd). You can typically point this into your MediaCar's Launch folder and it should work.

On The PATH NOT FOUND: I am finishing to add improved debug info and error prevention to a release I'll post later today..

Just tried my 'unreleased' MC skin on this and it looks like it will work fine. There are some monor tweeks to complete... including a big relisation that for some reason the only decent copy is on my CarPC ( guess who be doing what first thing lol ). Any way the point is that I will release it soon... and because of the way I do my skins there should be no big problem in putting your own logo in.

How ever - Guino - I would like to ask - is there any way you can place a setting in so that people like my self can select an external programe instead of the radio.

CNS TB Skin is a good example of the skin... I'd like to start a web prog up embeded instead as I don't have mine connected - others may have other ideas.

Cheers guys

If you'd like to run an application when clicking the Radio button, simply change the code from "RADIO" into "RUNW;!<PATH+COMMAND>;<TITLE>" and it will do it. For example: "RUNW;!C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE" to run notepad, and return to RR when exiting. If you read the documentaion you can create custom "launch" screens with dynamic commands.

Just looking at the documentation now... I am not very clear where you are refering to.

EDIT if I read you right... this will only start the app maximised.. I was looking to have it embeded so it could still run and I could move to other screens and come back at some point in the very same way the GPS software does... example attached....

go into the menu.skin file, there will be button definitions in there like:

BXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,"RADIO","Radio Player" (X are numbers)

The commands are in the first quotations of those lines (i.e. Radio), just change it to look like:

BXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,"RUNW;!c:\windows\notepad.exe",""

and when clicking that button you cahnged, it should hide RR, run notepad, then when you close notepad, restore RR. You can make similar things with other commands documented in "Skin Commands.txt".

You can also remove the ! if you want RR NOT to hide while running your app.

For this, copy your External_GPS files to like EXternal_APP_xxx.jpg and the same for the External_gps.skin to external_app.skin, then use the LOAD command to load and run your app enbbeded:

"LOAD;EXTERNAL_APP.SKIN;ENBEDDED NOTEPAD;C:\windows\notepad.exe;NOTEPAD"

You can edit the AXX,XXX... line to define the area in which the application should be placed in the screen.

This stuff is all documented in the skin commands.txt file.

EDIT: Updated the skin commands.txt with more info.

I actually saw this once today.. trying to figure out what is the problem.. I thought my touchscreen was just "stuck" or something..

EDIT: I think I fixed the problem, but not sure since I can't reproduce it ?? :|
