Playlists linked to Include.txt

[dustind900]

As far as I can tell games listed in a playlist are only visible if they are included in "Include.txt". Is there a reason for this or is there a bug somewhere?

Include.txt

Code: [Select]

game1
game2
game3
game4

playlist.txt (example name)

Code: [Select]

game1
game3
game5
game7

Based on the example only game1 and game3 will show up in RetroFE when displaying playlist.txt.

This is by design. The full list is defined by the roms directory, menu.txt, include.txt, exclude.txt, and *.sub files. The playlists, including the favorites list, are sub-lists of the full list. The items in these lists are direct links to the full list. This prevents duplicates, allows for the same sorting method to be used, and will tell RetroFE how to handle each of the items: the same as they are handled by the full list.

Does exclude.txt also filter playlists?

Are multiple rompaths supported?

[Agent47]

Multiple rom paths are supported. You just need to separate the paths with a semicolon in the settings file. Anything in the exclude.txt should also be excluded from playlists if that's what you're asking. I'm not in front of my setup right now to verify.

Does exclude.txt also filter playlists?

Yes. Since exclude.txt filters the "all games" list, it automatically filters the playlists as well. Playlists are always a sublist of the "all games" list, so anything not on there will not show up on the playlists either.
