Here's a Windows exe for 0.7.20b2. Changes since 0.7.19 are:
- Fixed menuSort = no behavior for include.txt files.
- Fixed Windows expansion of %RETROFE_EXEC_PATH%.
- Fixed local language support.
- Fixed container scaling.
- Fixed input queue when returning from a game.
- Fixed crash on exit when a controller is connected.
- Fixed incorrect sRGB profile errors for PNGs (Tom).
- Rewritten menu scrolling and input handler.
- Added support for hierarchy in the roms directory via list.romHierarchy parameter in collection's settings.conf file.
- Added playlist support via the keys favPlaylist, nextPlaylist, and prevPlaylist. The playlists should be placed as <playlist name>.txt in the collections/<collection name>/playlists directory.
- Added MacOS support (Tom).
- Added support for /home/user/.retrofe RETROFE_PATH setting for linux / mac (Tom).
- Added brew install option for mac (Tom).
- Added trurip Super DAT support. .dat files are expected in meta/trurip.
- Added collectionInputClear parameter to the global settings.conf. When set to true, the input queue will be cleared when entering/exiting a collection.
- Added automatic update of meta.db when any of the meta xml/dat files are updated/added. No more manual deleting of meta.db required.
- Updated Overview instructions in readme (Tom).

As always: keep in mind that this is WIP, so not fully tested, and keep a backup of your working retrofe.exe handy in case this one doesn't work for you!

Ok, so using your keyboard you click once, and then have to wait for 1-2 seconds for something to happen or does it scroll immediately, and it takes 1-2 seconds for the entire animation (menu scroll, fade-out, art loading, fade-in) to complete or it takes 1-2 seconds before you can click again or ...? :) Just trying to understand what the exact issue is. I can fix almost anything as long as I can understand and reproduce it. :)

Yep, the first one you mentioned (keyboard you click once, and then have to wait for 1-2 seconds for something to happen). For example, I want to scroll to the left (or right) to choose the next system, but even though I clicked, it doesn't move to the next system until 1-2 seconds later, hence the "lag"

Ok, that IS very odd. I would expect the menu to start scrolling immediately. If that's not the case for you, then I don't have a clue what might be causing that to be honest. This happens with the default theme (Aeon Nox) distributed with RetroFE or did you change any values?

truRIP support and the collectionInputClear parameter have been added to bit bucket. Version has been updated to 0.7.20b2; I'll try to make a new Windows executable this evening.
I also have auto generation of meta.db working under Linux, but it may need a bit more testing to make sure it works in all situations.

True, though if people prefer that I clear the input buffer when entering/exiting a collection, I can certainly change that.

Also: you can disable exiting RetroFE with the back key.

Still, that is odd, since I see no such issues myself. What do you use to control the menu, and does this happen on a single click or multiple clicks or ..?

Can you define what you notice as lag? I've implemented it such now that the menu scroll animation does not get chopped by art loading, but realise that if you are too slow in pressing next that the loading will slow things down. It should properly react to multiple quick presses too now: 5x next = 5 game scroll.

From what I understand it has something to do with the PHP session ID being part of the URL, though how and why is still unclear to me. If anyone has any suggestions: I'm all ears. I'll try to contact hosting support later this week to see if they have any answers.

Edit: I've just disabled almost all WordPress plugins to see if that helps any. Let me know if you still have issues, preferably with details that I can show to the helpdesk.

Edit: Do you by chance have cookies disabled?

Just a quick question? Would it be possible to keep animating images which are not reloadable just like menus? That would make everything even more smoother.

Can you give me an example of what you're looking for?

I heard more complaints from others as well. What happens if you don't use F-5?

The fix works well. Thanks Pieter.

That's good to hear. :) That means I can focus on implementing support for truRIP superdat files. :) I hope to have that up and running by the end of this week. I also want to see if I can make RetroFE update meta.db automatically if any of the meta files change. Currently people still have to manually delete the meta.db to have it regenerate.

No, themes pre-0.7.2 are broken in 0.7.2+. Some were already updated, and can be found in the download section.

I think the issue is that CollectionInfoBuilder is expecting a roms folder inside collections/Main which isn't there for any OS.

This is why you should run the python post install step and test new retrofe changes from inside Artifacts. There will be fresh installations of retrofe that don't have Mame even set up yet.

It's also good to double check once you copy files or folders to Package/Environment/<OS>
or if you add roms to Package/Environment/Common/collections/Main/ in bitbucket.

Hence my whole don't forget comment from before as a sanity check for new features.

UPDATE - The spacebar key event loop is tested good. Retrofe loads after creating the roms folder.

Odd, the roms directory IS created under Linux, but even without it I do not get a crash.

I've updated the code though. I noticed closedir may be called on a NULL pointer, which may not work on all operating systems. Let me know if that helps.
