Variable Manager

Hy,

Might it be possible to implement a variable manager in xlobby ?
I mean create our own variables and manipulate them with script like it's done in girder.

I double this :wink:

And it will be really great if we can access them (and all "standard" variables of xlobby) from a plugin. (Throught the sendcommand)

A good idea is also to have some helper variables like :

- the CDROM letter used
- the skin used
- the resolution

It would simplify the installation of skins for the new users of xl ! we use the autoplay

for cd audio, DVD video, discs with movies (DVD or CD)

I just want add it will also be an easy way to do "toogle button" or "radio button" that are often requested in this Forum.

Hi,

My "wishlist" concerning variables:

- a object GetVariable(string name) in XPluginHelper. Accessing variables with a command would be very usefull. But a variable may contain other types apart from strings. An object GetVariable would allow to access those other types.
- it would be usefull if variables would be expanded in the parameters to commands (http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2186, http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1778). One example could be a keyboard-plugin, and the entered value is passed to another plugin via the parameter.

- aditionally a variable with the name of the current screen. This would allow a plugin to load the corresponding file and offer a better interaction. Maybe some kind of notification if a screen is changed with the skin editor would be usefull.
