Don't do that...

Here is the thread that addressed this issue. There is a newer, shinnyer zips.dat posted in that thread.

RR and zip code/gps issue

Replace the small zips.dat with this one.

See if you can do it manually. The last section in this post talk about how to display the icon.

I have a couple questions that I could not solve on my own.

1. GPS Auto switch (iGuidance): I use the GPS skin with the music info across the top. When it auto switches for navigation it goes to the full GPS screen (no music across the top) and it takes a few seconds to load up this skin. Plus I would like to keep it with the music info across the top.

2. I would like to disable the fade in when switching to GPS. It takes too long on my system (transitions is already -1)

I would also like to contribute to any who is using the web browser this tip.
I missed the OSK from 3.0. Now we only have the URL button.
Change this line in wbrowser.skin

Code:

B04,101,526,98,67,"WEBURL"

To

Code:

B04,101,526,98,67,"APPOSK",@WEBURL@

This will give you the OSK on press and URL on press&hold

You can also change the label to match

Change this:

Code:

L,107,543,85,33,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,20,#DFXFont#,"=URL","CENTER"

to

Code:

L,107,543,85,33,#DFX1R#,#DFX1G#,#DFX1B#,20,#DFXFont#,"=OSK","CENTER"

or whatever u want

1) I have fixed this for the next release, so it remembers what view you have it set to.

2) I did this as personally I HATED the whole white flash and iguidance appearing, then embedding. THis makes it smoother, but yes, is slower on a lot of systems. Open the iGuidance_Music.skin, and remove the forceeffects line. That will remove the fade.

I am not sure how much I will be on the forums for the next couple days with Fay headed out way. As far as the forecast goes, it is not going to hit here directly... BUT we are still going to get 50 MPH + winds from it. That , more than likely, means the power will be going out intermittently.

Here is the latest radar, and yes, it is really, really nasty outside right now! (That little star is where I am located)

whenever i select a folder to play, then append another folder to the current playlist, then go to sirius, hd, hibernate or anything like that and then go back to audio, i lose the playlist... just the orignal folder is there nothing else.

also how is it possible to use the unused buttons simular to LSX void does? to embed programs in?

and some reason it wont open garmin GPS, but if i have garmin already open dsx reconizes it and moves it and resizes it propperly

With the DFX Button editor, in the helper files folder, you can put anything you want on the empty buttons.

Open the exectbl.ini in the skin folder, search for "Garmin" and change to the correct path on your system.

For some strange reason when I type a URL and click the enter key nothing happens. The keyboard is responding (shows URL I'm typing) but it appears the enter key is not doing anything. To make matters worse there is no way for me to back out of this screen. Am I the only one having this issue?

This doesn't happen if I use an external keyboard

**JohnWPB** · 08-18-2008, 05:24 PM

@hpric: Hmmm This is the first time this has been reported... The Enter key has the standard Key13 (Carriage return character). If you get stuck in the screen, try pressing the cancel key on the top left of the OSK.

If you can't figure it out, I can have a look at it Sunday after next if you are going to be at the meet.
