File Manager

[medicineuk]

Is there a file manager in any of the Aeon builds yet? if so where can I find it.

Nope.
Maybe a nice idea for all the modders out there. I Don't miss it myself, but in order to make Aeon as complete as possible: good one. :;):

Yeah I would love a file manager!

EDIT: I tried it out and it does NOT work (even though it's what I've done in all my the skins). It goes to a black screen. I guess there are no textures or fonts dedicated to a file manager. I'll leave these steps here rather than delete the post because if a file manager does become available, then you can still use this guide to call it from your shutdown menu.

If you can do without an eject button, you can change it to become the file manager. Under the 720p folder, there's a file called DialogButtonMenu.xml (http://github.com/djh/aeon/blob/ecac28b809f3f44f091f4f4e413f4508f8a197a0/720p/DialogButtonMenu.xml). By tweaking it with any text editor, you can change the way the buttons act and are labeled. You can make any one of them become File Manager. Here's how to change Eject to become the File Manager:

Look for:
<control type="button" id="810">
<description>Eject Tray</description>
<label>31210</label>
<include>Objects_ContextMenuButton</include>
<onclick>EjectTray()</onclick>
<visible>System.HasMediaDVD</visible>

change <description>Eject Tray</description> to <description>File Manager</description> to File Manager.

Change <label>31210</label> to <label>File Manager</label>.

Change <onclick>EjectTray()</onclick> to <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyFiles)</onclick>

It's a dirty hack, but should do the job. Substituting any of the labels, descriptions, and onclicks to the file manager values should do the trick if you want to change a different button.

the DialogButtonMenu is the screen that pops up when you press the right thumbstick on the xbox, or press "S" on a keyboard. It's also known as the shutdown menu.

I like to have the file manager located here so that you can access it from any screen without having to back out and click the button inside of a sub-menu somewhere.

Had this lying around for a while:

Extract to your aeon folder, should work with a clean auriga install...

@nicoli_k:
There's simply no filemanager window defined in aeon, that's why your fix doesn't work..

Thanks lx01.

Hope you don't mind if I add it to my mod.

It might interest you to know that in the last couple of days I've struck a deal with phyek where we'll work together to bring both our ideas to fruition. Something like that, anyway. So hopefully you'll see some of his designs reworking/finishing up the dialog layer of Aeon, and I'll be helping his coding efforts as and when he requires.

Not sure where things will go from there, but if it all works out it'll certainly make a 'complete' Aeon more likely, and more attractive to boot. Fingers crossed.

Hope some of you UK bods are tuning into Sky channel 433 tonight, btw. 9pm-6am. Some of you will know what I mean...
