Auto updating a Category (Instant Update, refresh)

Postby egandt on Tue Apr 10, 2007 12:34 pm

I have a category which is for a directory E:\Videos, I have tried setting the option "Instant Update" as well as create an event "Refresh->E:\Videos", and added it to the Goto command (event 1 refresh, event 2 goto), but the listing is not updated, now this makes it impossible to truly use XLobby since my primary purpose is to have the ability to view this directory which changes whenever anything is recorded, but as of now I must restart Xlobby to get it to pick up my changes.

Any ideas,
ERIC

"instant update" - is this a new thing in 'pre-release' version?
Anyway I use 'category:refresh' (in the freeware ver.) in the 'Enter event' for a given screen, and it works great. Don't know if this will help any, but did you try changing order of your commands - first goto screen than refresh?

No luck with ordering or adding a wait time, is it possible that the problem is that this is a path E:\Videos and not a database?
Refreshing a DB the exact same way seems to work (pictures database).

Also does Xlobby create any log to tell me if something failed?
