I get Segmentation fault: 11...

If I advance the Load screen with spacebar or don't let it play to the end or even if I hit escape to quit before the load screen finishes all result in a crash.

I presume this is using MacOS?
I have no such issues under Linux or Windows. Is there any way for you to run it in the debugger to see where the issues are?

Thanks for mentioning the version; it shows me that you _are_ using the latest code.

I've only tested mac via quick brew install. Can't put much more time into it today. Something about adding playlists inside CollectionInfoBuilder

Damn, this is my latest fix, and (un?)fortunately I know exactly what's wrong, how to fix it, and that others will get the same issue. I only tested it using a collection that actually has playlists.

and don't forget there is now a --os=mac option for running the python step. We should better track adding new features as they affect multiple platforms.

[Pieter Hulshoff]

Try again?
I've included a new executable. Hopefully this one will work better for everyone.

Please, back up your retrofe.exe before using this one. It's WIP and not fully tested yet.

This version contains playlist support and hierarchical rom directory support. Check the bit bucket commits for details.

In this case I just didn't test it fully enough; it's not OS related. I added playlists, and only tested it with collections that actually had playlists, including my Main collection.

What does that new feature actually do (the playlist) ?

[Pieter Hulshoff]

It allows you to define and walk through sub lists of a collection, e.g. all Konami or all Driving games. It's an extension on the favorites playlist feature.

Ok. So I can make custom lists (like genres) and when I press the next playlist button will cycle thru the genre lists I ve made ?
This can be done manual only ? the add to playlist button will add games only to fav list , right ?

[Pieter Hulshoff]

Correct, for now. 😀 Just create .txt files in the playlists directory with the games you want. I've added a prevPlaylist and a favPlaylist key definition to the existing nextPlaylist button.

You could consider adding corresponding logos to the collections/_common/medium_artwork/playlist directory so you know what playlist you're in.

[ryuuji]

Nice . Will test it soon but it is a nice feature indeed. Probably have to update the layouts also.

[Pieter Hulshoff]

Not much; I just moved the collection's playlist image 50 pixels to the right to deal with large images, and added the genre wheels and some manufacturer wheels to the common artwork.

In case new file types are added to collections or whatever in the future and the post script copies those to Artifacts. Yes otherwise error checking is nice.

[Pieter Hulshoff]

High on my todo list is support for truRIP superdat files to support the upcoming truRIP releases.

Btw, Tom, can you explain why MacOS cannot handle the png files that used to be included? I'm trying to see if I can batch convert them for future use for MacOS as well, since bit bucket contains only a small sub set of what I have.
