[RESOLVED] Plugin manager does not update labels when using iList

**spamminator** · 06-17-2009, 01:04 AM

I'm working on the plugin manager screen for my skin, working off of the carwings dynamic lite as a base. I noticed that if I leave the list as a standard DL then the associated plugin labels (version, description, status, etc.) get updated as I click on different items in the list. However, if I change the list to be an iList those labels no longer get updated.

I'm using the same label codes as are used in carwings:

L,710,175,80,30,#LCDR#,#LCDG#,#LCDB#,18,#LCDFont#, "pluginmgr|version|$DLPLUGINNAME$","LEFT"

My guess is that somewhere in the plugin it updates $DLPLUGINNAME$ with the currently selected item name on each click of the list, but maybe not on every click of an iList?

I haven't been able to find that variable anywhere in the exectbl or .ini files for carwings, so I apologize if there's some simple explanation/solution I'm missing...

Thanks.

snap i found this problem way back when mitch built it, i have managed to get 1 out of 6 comp's to accept ilist in plugin manager, but it was short lived, i did bring this to mithc's attention , and we have found no solution for it as yet, but it only seems to be a very small amount of users that have this problem, as no 1 else apart from you has pubilcly mentioned this. i have even re-built 3 pc's and still get the same result,but if you select in the list then refresh the list you will see the labels update ,||pluginmgr;list

but your right the PI dose up-date the $DLPLUGINNAME$ ondirclick,

sorry i know its no help to you but just wanted to add that your not alone,

ok, here how it works

the SKIN must me named: "pluginmgr.skin" and a DL type
and when a MouseDown of a item ("ONDIRCLICK" happens)
dlpluginname gets set

if skin isnt named that, it wont happen

i dont know anything about ilist... if u send me the .skin file with ur change to ilist, i can eval

mitch

and thats how i have it direct copy from carwings, no changes made except adding ilist line

**mitchjs** · 06-17-2009, 02:23 AM

show me the line please

i have found a bug in RR, that if the TYPE is "LST" it is tried to get ID3 for
since its not a song, it gets corrupted in the internal list

i can fix... but i need to fully understand lists

Ondirclick works ,but I noticed that the up/down buttons don't update labels could it be the same bug
