Otherwise keep up the good work. RetroFE needs something like this

Ryuuiji: It's an alpha version, I need to implement the other things.
bodbod: You can download the python source code too, and run it with your python (3) interpreter. I just converted it to an exe for convenience.
And an installer for one file is a little bit overkill, don't you think so?

when I want to edit launchers and click the button It doesn't do anything.
and when I want to look at the collections, it shows nothing.
When I pull up procmon i See this, encased in red is when I want to edit the main.conf and in brown is the trace of the collections button.
any suggestions ?
Post by: GoodWill Emu on August 19, 2017, 07:00:43 AM
1. In the Launchers window you have to select a launcher.conf FIRST and then click open conf file...
2. ]The collections settings aren't implemented yet (I know I could have disabled them..)
About the procmon problem:
I have no real clue why this acts so strange, but I have some ideas why:
1. The processes in red may appear becuas you didn't select a conf file first
2. The processes in brown may be because I used a beta version of pyinstaller (the only one working with python 3.5 at that moment..)
Sorry I didn't work more on my tool, but because of no comments or suggestions I thought noone will use it anyway...

adding new systems, should be comprehensive.
Changing layouts is great feature, maybe you could make a preview by reading the source files or ask the theme owner to make a preview thuimbnail.
Post by: GoodWill Emu on August 19, 2017, 08:54:37 AM
I am learning to code too (This program is my first...) with HUGE help by stackoverflow.com
You can downlaod and work on the code too, the sourcecode link is on the thread therefore, the code is readable (just not 100% pythonic..)
You can fork it, but please tell me changes you made with added sourcecode...
It would be really cool if the theme makers could add a preview pic ( wink to Pieter and the theme makers....)

To wonderful Bibione. :D :D :D :D :D
klopjero, to start programming I recommend python, much easier to read..
Pro-tip: Use https://atom.io/ (https://atom.io/)
So, I am off for the week.... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I'm working on a program structure diagram for writing a hyper2retrofe setup tool...

I made a HS to RFE conversion tool a while back that a few of the HS media/db guys used. I should still have it around somewhere.

Well that would save me some work :)

since I went to hoilday suddenly there is some action in this thread...
klopjero, how is it going with programming? I'd love to see some help here... (no pressure)
Since I am back from holiday I am trying to implement some kind of preview for the selected Layout...
Hopefully I will get it to work this week...

I have to get into pygame......
By the way, can you please tell the Layout makers to add a preview.png to their layouts? Would help me much...

You only have to put them in the layout root folder and name them preview.png
Thank you very much :)

I made an update to RetroFEST.
Sorry it took so long, but I havent figured out so long how to add ttkthemes to pyinstaller.
Look at the attached picture to see how much better it looks with ttkthemes
Downloadlink is in the first post as usual.
Have fun!
