SkinHelper Constructor error

[psycik]

sub.

Been mentioned to be a couple of times with the newer versions of my MusicLibrary, that if the user has a non standard install the skin files can't be found.

I use the new SkinHelper(pluginName,"skin.xml") type contructor for all my skinHelpers now and we get the beautificallycrafted log message:

Code:

05-06-2006 16:39:24.328    VERBOSE    [1]    Skin file not found: C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\Blue\MusicLibrary2\skin.xml
05-06-2006 16:39:24.328    VERBOSE    [1]    ...about to check default skin
05-06-2006 16:39:24.328    VERBOSE    [1]    Arrrggh!! not found there either...mayday mayday...going down....   C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\Blue\MusicLibrary2\skin.xml
05-06-2006 16:39:24.328    ERROR    [1]    Error initializing menu plugin: C:\Programmer\devnz\gbpvr\plugins\MusicLibrary2.dll

BUT i think that i have got something!
In the log i can see the ML2 is looking for the skin.xml and can't find it. It is looking in "C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\Blue\MusicLibrary2\skin.xml" but i have a danish windows and here the program-folder is called Programmer. The path have to be "C:\Programmer\devnz\gbpvr\skin\Blue\MusicLibrary2\skin.xml".

Can you have a look?

bump for sub just in case he missed it.

Sorry, I did see this, but I'm busy with other stuff at the moment so didnt have time to investigate.

I've checked and all the skin helper paths should be relative (unless you've changed <RootSkinDirectory> in config.xml). You should see messages like below in your log in the situation where a skin.xml doesnt exist in a specific skin and it falls back to using the default blue skin version.

05-06-2006 16:34:59.671 VERBOSE [1] Skin file not found: .\skin\BlueMCE2\system\skin.xml
05-06-2006 16:34:59.671 VERBOSE [1] ...about to check default skin
05-06-2006 16:34:59.671 VERBOSE [1] Initializing skin helper for: .\skin\blue\system\skin.xml

If you post a complete log then I'll take a look.

Ok, I'll get the guys having the problem to post their full logs. Cheers
