I agree, things should be tested for usability via custom external code, then rolled into xlobby to become main features for the masses, we should press for date integration, it should be a very simple thing to add.
I look forward to seeing your DVD search; I would love to stop using DVD profiler.
As for creating a virtual keyboard for altering the info in fields, I tried to do this and it is currently not possible. Xlobby is 90% there with what it has; the trouble is you cannot assign a variable to a variable.
Cannot remember the name of the variables at the mo, but, when you create a keyboard overlay you display the results of what you type in a text box with something like
keyboard>display
as the variable which makes the letters appear.
I then tried to add a button with a function that assigned this value to say movies>director, but this did not work.
You can set the value of things on the fly now, so if you create a button that sets movies>director to Steven Spielberg, that works; it is the variable to variable bit that does not.
Anyway, let me know how you get on, or if you want to see how far I got with this, then we may need to raise a feature request.
