Please add a portable option

TonyWoode posted a comment on ticket #65

Hey there! It's your lucky day as QuickPlay is entirely portable and has never used the Windows Registry at all. You can just plug in that USB drive! If you need more help please join us over at https://forums.quickplayfrontend.com

Sorting order lost after removing orphaned ROMs

sourceforgot posted a comment on ticket #63

Thank you for the reply. I actually prefer the way Quick Play looks too, but seeing a gallery of screenshots is useful when you're going through a full set. Anyway, this is just a suggestion for the future.

TonyWoode posted a comment on ticket #63

I must admit I'm not planning on this, but in the future it might be possible as an easy-win. The thing QuickPlay seems to do that other frontends don't is datagrid-style view with all the search and organisation possibilities you get that comes with that, and the grid combined with the media panel is a pretty fundamental part of how QuickPlay works. With new technologies it could be pretty trivial to turn the grid into this kind of shopfront as a view, but atm don't hold your breath! I do think...

Cancel/revert renaming with ESC

Johnathan Bravo J posted a comment on ticket #62

To give more details to this request. In Quick Play, I think there are 3 ways to use IPS files, all are accesible after right clicking the rom that has already been added, in this example, I'll use Super Metroid: You can patch your file and create a new patched rom, which I never use and is not related to this request, or you can link and IPS file to a rom, and this is the one I think it could be upgraded if possible. So when you select this option, you will be prompted to name it (which can be left...

If this would take too much time to implement, I can just rename the games manually. It'd be nice to follow the same sorting scheme as Windows, though (Example [A] > Example 2 [A]).

sourceforgot posted a comment on ticket #53

Yes. What about showing just the Name and System columns and making them uneditable for virtual folders?

TonyWoode posted a comment on ticket #54

yes numbers sort higher than an open square bracket without some custom sort algorithm e.g: https://groups.google.com/g/borland.public.delphi.language.delphi.general/c/NWJ83Xc0OjQ?pli=1 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15318304/delphi-customsort-with-numbers-and-letters There are some ideas here though: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52428793/sort-function-problem-with-strings-containing-square-brackets

TonyWoode posted a comment on ticket #53

Yes I can - my theory: a change to Virtual Folder columns has unexpected effects on the previously edited (real) romdata's column selections (often it changes to match the virtual selection, but sometimes, depending on the fields chosen to hide/show, the columns selected/deselected don't quite match up). Can you confirm I've got that right or not?

sourceforgot posted a comment on ticket #53

does the 'System' that gets added to a normal folder persist after you close and open QuickPlay? Yes. Does it only affect the folder you switched to after the virtual folder, or does it affect all normal folders? It seems to always affect only one of my normal folders in a random way. Can you reproduce this?

sourceforgot posted a comment on ticket #52

Well, I actually like the way they're displayed. The background with the magnifying glasses makes it clear to me that I'm not seeing one of my normal folders. If you feel that's not enough, what about adding a bar at the top or bottom with a reminder that the current view was generated automatically from a search? Something like: This list was generated automatically from a search. Edit query

TonyWoode modified a comment on ticket #52

Yes absolutely thanks for making that very clear! You're absolutely right that's a job to do: 'normal' folder options that don't apply should be removed, 100%. But I still think there is a 'misleading' aspect to the virtual folders, because even if we remove these options we are STILL left with effectively pre-made quieries pretending to be normal romdata folder views, and its still not self-explanatory that there is a difference in use case and functionality - making them unnecessarily complex to...

Changing search/virtual folder columns affect normal folders

TonyWoode posted a comment on ticket #53

I undertand what you're saying, and does the 'System' that gets added to a normal folder persist after you close and open QuickPlay? Does it only affect the folder you switched to after the virtual folder, or does it affect all normal folders?

sourceforgot posted a comment on ticket #53

The biggest issue here is not the changes are reverted, but that normal folders are affected unexpectedly after you change the columns in a "search" view.

sourceforgot modified a comment on ticket #52

Hey, Tony. Since edits made from within the virtual folder aren't saved, you could remove the Rom Properties context menu entry altogether from virtual folders. Remove ROM from Romlist and other options that don't apply to virtual folders should be omitted from the context menu too. The terminology isn't misleading to me. It's just that these options are available but don't work.

Hey, Tony. It seems that you misunderstood my report. For example, I created a search/virtual folder for "Mario" and then used it to change the game type of all games at once across different systems. I expected to see that game type when I opened the static folders for each console, but the changes weren't saved.

this happens because search folders aren't stored as romdatas at all, they are akin to stored database quieries, with an attempt made to render them as if they were romdatas. Course this can be helpful since the results are generated fresh each access, but unhelpful when you want to reify the results So, given this, what would you like to happen? I guess ultimately the terminology is misleading and there should be a 'search' and the ability to save both the search AND print off a timed/dated res...
