Missing database message

Postby jowaldo on Tue Apr 25, 2006 9:08 pm

I'm guessing this might be a simple thing to add, but it would be nice if when a screen is showing like say pictures, and a pictures database doesn't exist, that some sort of message (preferably customizable) shows up like

"Pictures database not found" or even better where you could just put a variable like

"%databasename% database not found"

That way when people are setting up xlobby for the first time and go to a screen that requires a database they haven't set up they at least know they need to do something, instead of assuming that its just not working right.

a simple feature, but would be very helpful to the new ones.

On the practical side - it is a bit strange, i.e. for PLAYLIST category (and in my case for EMAIL category as well) to navigate to an EMPTY category - the cursor dissapears completely! There should always be an item even in EMPTY categories, just to say "no data" - or the other solution would be if database is empty, just SKIP it when navigating to it!

Thanx,
