Please test and let me know how it goes. If there are no major problems I will put this on the main download page for new users.

I will discuss some of the new features / changes in this thread, or link to others if appropriate.

edit: updated to 0.953b to fix editor language bug

New and changed features:

- includes new plugin: RoboBrowser - http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=843.0
- new action: File.Read
- minor changes to GenXML (Frodo Option in XBMC and removed old MediaMonkey methods)
- improved detection of changes to payloadXML will rebuild grammars when needed.
- Added new feature called "external reference or xref" to include a group in a command by pointing to an xml file. This feature is mostly untested and requires some explanation, but it is intended to be used only with various phrases at the beginning of a command.

other minor changes and fixes.

Oooohhh is this what I think it might be...

Yup

I'll try to make a small tutorial today. I have no idea how it will perform when used the way you want. It might turn out to be a crash-fest.

jitterjames · « **Reply #10 on:** July 13, 2012, 06:25:16 PM »

OK I don't think I'm going to be able to get to a video but here's a rough guide to what you need to do.

1) create a group that you will be using as an XREF.
2) edit the group
- create multiple "commands"
- don't assign any actions to the commands
- you should really just use phrases for now. You can create multiple phrases in a chain and use commas etc.
- you MAY be able to use payloads etc. but I don't recommend it.
3) export the group and save the xml somewhere you can find it.
4) IMPORTANT take the group OUT of your main tree. Put it in the bin for easy access if you want to edit and re-export it later.

Once all that is done you can add the XREF to another command the same way you would add a phrase, payload, etc. (see image). Double click the xref in the tree to open a dialog which will let you select the file to use.

jitterjames · « **Reply #11 on:** July 13, 2012, 06:38:53 PM »

Hmmm. I think this still needs work. I added a test xref to multiple commands and it is crashing.

Back to the drawing board.

Well, it works as long as you only add the xref to one command in any given group. that's a clue anyway. Maybe I can allow an xref to be used as a prefix for a whole group...

Anyway, play with it a bit and let me know if you learn anything.

Very thanks for your great job Jammes. I realy love VoxCommando, yestarday i finnaly maked VoxCommando tell me the feedback for my lamps using a little script in EventGhost. Vox tell me what lamps are off or on and what is the intensity of my dimmers (20 percent, 100 percent, etc), realy impressive. Now i am trying to find some alarm system with feedback, so Vox will tell me what windows or doors are open in my Home. Its a shame i have to work to pay my bills or i will I'd be all day tinkering with vox.

I know how you feel...

When you have time, please upload your eventGhost script so we can see how it works.

claymic · « **Reply #14 on:** July 17, 2012, 10:44:09 AM »

James
I put in dropbox with some others things.
I think its time to open a thread trying to show how this work (Control system over UDP and TCP). We can control all devices usind VoxCommando, EventGhost and products from Global Cache, include system lights with rs-232, tcp or udp.
Well, i dont have the best english in the world so i will need some help to make a nice thread, maybe you and Wanilton can help me, and we have to make a thread for the new xbmc commands in vox, like the read to me and the increase note, i think some the VoxCommando addicts will like
