This question must be asked before but is there a way to save the metadata .nfo as .xml?

I tried converting but it doesnt work.

Thanks in advance.

• into the launcher.xml file. This file contain all the items information, images path, and launcher configuration. All into one same file.
  
• into separate .nfo files. This files must be created from Advanced Launcher. One .nfo file per item. This .nfo files only contain item information (no image paths or launcher configuration).

Metadata are saved in 2 place :

• into the launcher.xml file. This file contain all the items information, images path, and launcher configuration. All into one same file.
  
• into separate .nfo files. This files must be created from Advanced Launcher. One .nfo file per item. This .nfo files only contain item information (no image paths or launcher configuration).

Why do you need specifically a .xml file?

Do'nt know if the games need a specif command. But i can try if you tell me what to fill in and where i can fill this in.

That will depend of the game you want to start. And because I will surely not have the same games as you, I will not be able to tell you exactly what it the command line to use.

The way you start an application with a command line is dependant of the application (game, browser, emulator, etc...), of your operating system (Windows, Linux, OSX) and of what you want to do with it (start into full-screen, open a specific file, start with a specific configuration, etc...). Advanced Launcher it just used to execute form XBMC the command line.

• Add %rombasename% argument for multi-disc items.
  
• Add multi-disc alternative titles display.
  
• Fix %romfile% and %romname% arguments for muti-disc items.
  
• Fix nfo files export unicode error under Linux.
  
• Fix french translation.

I also noticed that %romname% holds on to the .cd# extension. It would probably be better to strip that off. For example, I am trying to load a memory card using romname. If the .cd extension is kept, I'd have to have a separate memory card per disc in Final Fantasy 7, because it would try to load Final Fantasy 7.cd1.mcr for disc one, and Final Fantasy 7.cd2.mcr for disc two. Let me know if you need any more clarification

Your local scraping images without the need for .cd1 extension suggestion will not be added. Sorry. Into Advanced Launcher, images and NFO filenames are closely linked to their corresponding item filename. In the case of mutli-disc item they are linked to the corresponding first disc item filename. To solve this you just have to rename for example Fantasy 7.jpg as Fantasy 7.cd1.jpg or re-scrap them with Advanced Launcher. That's not a big deal.

Also the add of the alternative title support for mutli-disc items into the last Advanced Launcher version has dramatically complicated the things. For example, what will be the returned image and NFO filenames of this items ?

Code:

Resident Evil 2 [US] - cd1
Resident Evil 2 [JP] - cd1
Gran Turismo 2 [Arcade] - cd1

Theoretically :

Code:

Resident Evil 2 [US]
Resident Evil 2 [JP]
Gran Turismo 2

But decide when we will need to remove bracketed informations or not ?

That the same problem with the %romname% parameter. Name of the Final Fantasy 7.cd1.iso rom is Final Fantasy 7.cd1, not Final Fantasy 7. Final Fantasy 7.cd1 and Final Fantasy 7.cd2 are 2 different disks so 2 different roms. I have added a new parameter (%rombasename%) into the lase version of Advanced Launcher that will normally solve your problem.

It depends on the exe (it is application dependent). Which emulator are you trying to run?
