Version 0.8741 Patch

[jitterjames]

Exciting new feature.  Look at the first item under Help Menu!

updated patch. fixed "availablecommands.xml" - somehow xbmc commands were missing!

[Wanilton]

Great job...

[jitterjames]

btw it looks nicer if you use Chrome or FireFox instead of Internet Explorer.  Rounded corners.

You can edit the file

\Resources\help.css

to customize the font size and colours etc.  If you want to print a command menu for your guests (or wife  ) you might want to use a smaller font and no coloured backgrounds.  I tried to keep it mostly black and white so it would print ok on a laser printer without too much trouble.

I wouldn't spend too much time playing with the .css yet though since the html may change in future versions.

On the other hand, if someone is an expert in html / css they are welcome to help me come up with something better!

I just updated the first post with a new patch.  there was a problem with availablecommands.xml

the xbmc commands were missing from the command builder.

Looks great! Nice "help" feature!
I had typed up all the commands and was going to post them in here, but I guess that's (gladly) moot now... hehe.

Now to figure out how to send Down Arrow to XBMC when it's not on the local PC...

[jitterjames]

HAHA.  Oh well.  The reason I never did that is that the commands are always changing, and everyone likes to customize their own.  The Flexibility aspect of the program creates many challenges!  Also the constant growth.

Actually I will upload this in a few minutes.  Do you know how to import command groups if I upload an xml file?

[jitterjames]

import this and get rid of the keyboard emulation group.
