Feature Request, Based on several posts in this forum... Options

[X_Cheat3R]

I've seen alot of people wanting to use a default preview or icon in their ux menu. This is a reasonable request I think, since I wanted the same thing!

Seems like maybe there could be an option like this:

<Preference>
<Default Icon="Yes">E:\Dashboard\icon.png</Default Icon>
<Default Preview="Yes">E:\Dashboard\preview.wmv</Default Preview>
</Preference>

I found somewhat of a workaround, but its not the easiest. Here is what i did:

<Menu>
<Item Action="LaunchDVD" Preview="ss.xmv">Launch DVD</Item>
<Item Action="Restart" Preview="ss.xmv">Reboot</Item>
<Item Action="Shutdown" Preview="ss.xmv">Shutdown</Item>
</Menu>

[of course this is not the full menu, just some of the items so u can see my example]

Notice they all point to a preview of 'ss.xmv' which makes each one display my desired video. In this case the file 'ss.xmv' is in the UnleashX root directory. You can also specify a location.

You can also do this on the XBOX by enabling menu edit in the settings. Then you can click Start on any item, choose edit, choose preview and choose your video.

You can do the same thing like this if you want an icon instead of a preview:

<Item Action="LaunchDVD" Icon="icon.jpg">Launch DVD</Item>

Filetypes supported [that I know of]
Video Preview: xmv or wmv [must use windows media video v8 (not v9)- from my experience]
Icon: png, jpg, xbx

Hope this helps, and please correct me if any of this is wrong...

I just remembered another I was going to ask for...

You know how in the file explorer you can use the copy/resume feature to skip existing files? Would be very handy to have this option in a script. Something like this:

<Item Action="resume" arg1="D:\" arg2="F:\>Copy/Resume</item>

and while I'm at it - this is petty - but can we please launch a media file [jpg, png, wmv, txt, etc] from the main menu instead of only from the file explorer???

THANX!!!

3. clear cache option for people that dont know what to do

CLEAR XBOX CACHE SCRIPT

<List Text="Clear XBOX CACHE" Sort="Off" Batch="True">
<Item Action="askuser" arg1="Clear CACHE">Clear XBOX CACHE? This will Format X Y Z and Delete E:\CACHE + Items.xml!</item>
<Item Action="Format" Arg1="X">Format X</Item>
<Item Action="Format" Arg1="Y">Format Y</Item>
<Item Action="Format" Arg1="Z">Format Z</Item>
<Item Action="Delete" Arg1="E:\cache">Delete E:\Cache</Item>
<Item Action="Delete" Arg1=”C:\Items.xml”>Delete C:\Items.xml</Item> FOR MOD-CHIP
<Item Action="Delete" Arg1=”e:\dashboard\Items.xml”>Delete E:\Dashboard\Items.xml</Item> FOR SOFT-MOD
<Item Action="MessageBox" Arg1="Complete">The CACHE has been successfully cleared!</item>
</List>

Another request:

You can currently set a default dvd and cd player, but you cannot specify a default game launcher. obviously in MOST cases you would want xboxdash.xbe to launch your game, BUT in my case I almost always use trainers - so would be handy to be able to specify XORED as my default.xbe launcher [at least until ux has built in trainer support...]. This may also be handy if there is a program out there that lets you FTP while playing a game [does this currently exist?]

of course, i would also still really like to be able to download from a web server [http/ftp] thru a command!!!

more to come...
