• %rompath% will define current directory path of each rom file.
  
• and %romspath% will define the parent directory path (defined into launcher) of all the rom files.

I've marked the relevant parts bold. You see I'm using SMB paths where possible, however emulators won't work with SMB so I have to use hardcoded path in the args variable. Right now I've hardcoded paths in the filename of each game. After the switch from XBMC Live to OpenELEC the paths were different and so I had to change all of them. With the modification shown above I would only need to change the path once per emulator.

would be alot of help since ALOT of wrong thumbs from comicvine are added to my comics or entirely missing and yes ive properly named them -.-'

lokham Wrote:hello and thanks for this plugin.

I've always used it with dharma, and now with pre-eden.

I wanted to install advanced launcher on my other computer, but it freeze when I want to add a exe file.

no error message but it's written (in French, I don' know how to translate it in english) :

"chargement du dossier advanced launcher / 0 fichiers chargés" maybe the traduction is " loading files in advanced launcher / 0 files loaded"

that's it,I can't go further.


somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong ?


thanks.

hentai23 Wrote:ok -.-'....xD

hentai23 Wrote:sounds great, im mainly pissed since comicvine adv scraper sux for like the most of my darkness comics even thou theyre named properly

hentai23 Wrote:and thats why was hoping therd be an addon or something possible in order to simply use the first image contained in the archive to use as thumb anyhow nice addon thread hope this gets realized

hentai23 Wrote:toldcha thers no way around it for comics if you want proper metadata and all with correct thumbs etc , and a first step would be to get a real comic scraper for metadata, the thumbs as said are already in the archive aka use the very first pic in da archive and its the cover always and for fanart you could also use the first pic since its poperly sized already so it wont be stretched or blurry , since thers very few fanart sources out ther if at all and if then usually very low quality, thou if you find one dont hesitate xD, btw comicvine sux -.-'
