In VDJ version 7.4 using VMS2, I had mapped one of the navigation buttons
to move from folder sections (far left) to the browser, then playlist then sidelist.
In version 8, it goes from folder to browser then to sidelist(which I have set to horizontal) then to the automix (far Right)
Is there a way to have it move from folders to browser, automix and then sidelist?

browser_window 'folders,songs,automix,sidelist'

Copied your script and pasted it, but it did not work.
The way I have it in version 7 is browser_window +1.
Works fine in 7.

don't put all, you must choose what you want

You can add a cycle to jump between the windows

If you want to use a SPECIFIC order, then you need to use something like this:

browser_window 'folders' ? browser_window 'songs' : browser_window 'songs' ? browser_window 'automix' : browser_window 'automix' ? browser_window 'sidelist' : browser_window 'folders'

That's what I love about VDJ, there's always 5 ways to solve any problem.

Nope that does not do it.
The way I have it now is:
right nav window_browser +1
In version 7 when I hit the r nav it goes from folder to browser to playlist to sidelist.

Now in version 8 it goes from folder to browser to sidelist to automix.

I want it to go: folder,browser,automix,sidelist using the r nav button.

Then you're doing something wrong, my method works here, PhantomDeejay's method works too.
Something isn't right at your end, change the script to window_browser -1, what happens? does the focus go backwards?

I know the suggestions were entered correctly as I copied and pasted.
Tried with the minus, not quite as it works backwards
However when I changed the skin,it does work.

Spoke too soon.
Not working again. Tried multiple skins same results.
Like I Said I copied the script directly as indicated in your answers.

No I'm not following you,
If you try my script, what happens?
If you try Phantom's script, what happens?

djdad copied your script and it only goes from folder to browser.
Same happen with the other scripts.
When I changed skins and tried locodog it worked for a couple minutes, then
reverted back to only moving from folder to browser.
Thanks guys

does it work with the default skin ?

I have the feeling that it wont work with skins that have custom browsers, since there are no browser windows there, just separate elements.
Not sure about the Fruit skin. Havent tried.

No it does not work on default nor Fruit skin.
Tried Blacksheep, 8 soft Gold, 8 reloaded.
Since you and others have it working, maybe I'll
try a re install late.

Tries again all three examples, here are results.
Locodog & dad; both scripts work from folder to automix to sidelist; but then it will not move out of sidelist.
Phantom, script works correctly in version 8 only, but messes up the VDJ 7 action.

In VDJ 7 I have it set as browser_window +1 and it has worked perfectly for past few years.
In VDJ 8, it doesn't work the same way.

I just thought the same script for version 7 would work the same in version 8.
I can work around the difference.
Appreciate the help guys.

You never said you're still working with both V7 & V8! So there is possibly one more way involving cycle, but instead of trying something else, it would probably be easier to have a V7 mapping and a V8 mapping, I'm not sure on how that would be done but one of the staff should be able to tell you.

You could use the get_version action, which should probably return false in version 7, so soemthing like..
get_version '8.0.0' ? actionForVersion8 : actionForVersion7 may work (untested), but as loco suggested, you could use (load) a different mapping file for version 8.

Just pointing out mapping works in 7 not 8.

Dad
When you say use different mapping for 8, do you mean use a different key?
If not how do you do a different maping file?
Like I said I can work around the different way it works.
Just wish it would work like version 7.
