Details for RDF developers about the "Add support for multiple image maps in a single RDF" in v0.74.

If the .rdf name contains an underscore (_), and there are more that 2 characters between the underscore and the preceeding dash or space, the RDF is assumed to represent multiple remotes. Otherwise only 1 remote is defined, and any _ is replaced with slash (/)

The names of the remotes are built as follows:

-The length of the variable part of the name is the number of characters between dash/space and the underscore.
-The prefix for the remote name is the part up to and including the dash/space.
-The postfix for the remote name is the part that comes after the last underscore + the variable length.

For example:
Given "HT80HT80 (URC-8080_8090-B00 Producer 8).rdf"
The name portion is "URC-8080_8090-B00 Producer 8"
The length of the variable part is 4.
The prefix is "URC-"
The postfix is "-B00 Producer 8"
There are 2 remotes represented:
1. URC-8080-B00 Producer 8
2. URC-8090-B00 Producer 8

The ImageMap= line in the RDF may contain multiple map files names, separated by commas (,). The order and number is expected to match the order and number of names generated from the file name. If there are less image maps than names generated, the last image map is used for the additional names. Extra image maps are ignored.

RM will present this single remote as individual remotes, with unique names.

Works good Greg. I fixed up the 601x etc. RDF's to try it out and will post later. I need to get one or two images to do the others. I will post whatever I have to the RDF's tonight when I get home. (am on a business trip)

Question? I assume the answer is yes but should we do the Extenders also?

I'm not sure it makes a huge difference for device upgrades, but extenders generally have different restrictions for what can be done with a button. The RDFs should reflect these differences, particularly for IR. So I say yes, we should do the extenders as well.

Good, because I already did for the 6012 series.

I've had a lot of trouble with the Source Forge mirrors. What usually works for me is selecting another one.
