Thanks Primaevil I turned off the sort button and the move button works great.

I used Super Favorites for years but recently single addons still work but folders wont open.

I saw your Simple Favorites and it works as well as Super Favorites used to.

Looking for a replacement for Super Favourites, since Super Favourites no longer works as of Leia Beta 1. Is there no global "Add to Simple Favorites" menu for Simple Favorites?? Another words, do I have to actually open Simple Favorites first to add things rather than add from context menu anywhere like Superfavorites Global menu used to work? Or am i missing a setting somewhere?

 I was trying to keep it simple so that you just add from the Add menu but there is a Context Menu addon in my repository that you can install.
That will add a "Simple Favourites" context menu everywhere that they are allowed.
It might allow you to add shortcuts where they won't work. There is no checking if they are playable.
There is no menu in the File Manager. spoyser added some custom skin trickery to get that to work. It definitely isn't simple.

Perfect, ill take a look. Dont need the file manager context anyway.

Is Simple Favourites compatible with 18 Beta?? Seems it might not be. Testing by adding Movies section from Crackle to a SF folder. Trying to open in SF and get error:

 It's probably due to them forcing addons to specify if it is an audio or video link since Leia. It caused problems in some of my other addons.
I'll see if I can get to the bottom of it when I get time.

Thanks bud, probably the same issue SuperFavourites is having.

RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - primaeval - 2018-09-11

If you just need Video links you can try "Video Favourites".
I just updated it to version 0.0.3 and it seems to be ok in Leia.

Simple Favourites is going to need some more work.
It even manages to crash the whole of Kodi at the moment.

RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - primaeval - 2018-09-11

There's a context.video.favourites in there too now.

RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - jdig4240 - 2018-09-25

Primaeval, any interest in having a go at fixing Super Favorites for Leia? Seems Spoyser isnt around anymore.

 I'm not sure it is fixable at the moment.
I tried to fix Simple Favourites and something in Leia made it crash Kodi when trying to play links.

Have you tried pming spoyser?

What exactly is wrong with Super Favourites?

RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - jdig4240 - 2018-09-26

Hmm, maybe nothing. I was testing with Xonfluence 18. Superfavorites in folders dont want to open. But just tested with Eminence mod, and im not seeing the same issue. May be skin related.

 It seemed to be ok in Estuary too.

Great! Just got around to trying out your Video Favorites addon along with the Context menu. Still no luck getting Superfavorites to work with Leia, but this VF addon is working just fine, so thank-you!!
Maybe just a couple suggestions that i miss from SF. 
-The option to add new folder when adding to VF through Context menu and put it in that new folder.
-The ability to rename the VF as you are adding from Context menu.
-Option to Create new manual entry like SF had.
-Option to set fanart (Not a big deal to me) but would be nice for certain things.
-Lock superfolder option was useful for those naughty videos.
-Ability to move up or down a favorite or sort by.

But anyways thank you for this, at least I have some functionality back!!

RE: Simple Favourites - defeats addons that hide the context menu - primaeval - 2018-10-16

Thanks.
I'm really trying to keep this addon as Simple as possible, so I doubt if I'll add all those features.
Are you sure it's not just the skin you are using in Leia as SuperFavourites seems to work ok for me in Estuary?
