I was just interested in that one bezel, its very well done. thought maybe i can find out author and might have done more in same style
-
After browsing throu ur files i noticed its kinda a mess in there.
There is files u dont use in .lays and png's are there. Also u dont need real_clear and real_glass its just duplicate but with glass. Take only real_clear then use glass from root glass.png position it right on one layout, make new view with real_clear+glass,then just copy text info to others
Anyway , it needs a lot of sorting and cleaning.
if u do wanna sort all that, u should check some guides how to use notepad++
here is video i promised, i was a bit lost in video on some moments.. honestly i havent used explorer in .. pfft 20 or more years, not since Total Commander came out lol

@Reevesad its quite simple. No tech involved. basic text editing.
Open notepad++ if u dont have one, u should have it.
CTRL+F
then in new window click find in files
find what : <image file="horz_screen_bezel_glass.png" />
replace with : <image file="..\horz_screen_bezel_glass.png" />
tick "follow current doc" and "in all subfolders"
point to root of ur themes
press replace all.
do the same for glass.png
Now copy one of each of files to save location
search and find those files in ur bezels and delete them
done.
ill post video in hour if u cant get it , need some errands to do

how easy is it to upload files to Launchbox? each folder is named the same as the rom title. and usually contains 3 .png files (original artwork from internet and then 2 from me real clear glass and real glass) plus a lay file.
Hey!
Do u remember who is the creator of that crazy climber bezel?
P.S
I just noticed that u are not utilizing MAME relative pathing for bezels?
With relative pathing u could cut down size of ur bezel collection by factor of 10 if not more. From 5gb to 500mb and more.
All that is required is to delete all duplicate glass /masks etc effects from every game and then put One of each in unified folder, and alter layout in each game to use it in its new location. Voila!
example:
<element name="Background"> <image file="..\glass_effect.png"/> </element>

@bundangdon Yes, i had it all setup on AM as well. Only thing i wasnt happy with in AM is lack of options for scrolling text. Otherwise its very easy to customize with squirrel.
Right now , just waiting for @y2guru tool for some uber easy modifications
P.S
There is one thing , that needs to be applied here, posters are suppose to be interchangeable per game and they will be behind glass poster, should be either 2D game box or fan art. More customization to panels, auto hide , etc

This is work in progress. Will post credits, where credits are due when stuff is actually posted.
I did use some resources from other people.

I can't say that's on the top of my priority list, but okay lol. I have to have at least the items that are checked visible/parents expanded so that it's not confusing, so I can't just always collapse everything.
checked items expanded is fine. Just not all. In case of tons of playlists it makes job superb tedious , edit>scrolls down ..ops missed it, scroll up..
-
@Jason Carr
Do you think , you could make Parents categories start "colapsed" instead of expanded? Its really painfull to scroll or colapse each time when adding new item to it
P.S
That's playlists

Yeah, IPlatform.Category is now obsolete, because it did not support the new nesting. Instead you'll use the new Parent interfaces/classes/methods, but I need to update the documentation yet to include the new stuff.
Basically, the only changes in Big Box are that the FiltersViewModels (including PlatformViewModels) will just stay on themselves while going through all the nested categories. GamesViewModels are mostly unchanged (though the FilterTitle property now returns the nested name for platforms/categories/playlists instead of the unique name).
You probably have an orphaned category (see my post above). You can either revert to a backup or manually edit the Platforms.xml file to remove the orphaned <PlatformCategory> element.
All good now.
recrated all my categories. Once i manually expunged them from xml's (Parent's /Platforms)
Colapsed instead expanded categories could be more helpfull !

@Jason Carr
Should i manually purge xml's ? I have collections and genres before update in it. Now i cant add new ones because it says it already exist. Refer to post earlier for more info, added image with error. It was the same in 8.8.1 and now with 8.8.2
---------
EDIT
never mind, recrated all my categories. Once i manually expunged them from xml's (Parent's /Platforms)

Hm, i had collections in platform category platforms.xml still says its there, but neither LB or BB are seeing it.I also cant add anything to it any more since its not visible
<PlatformCategory> <Name>Collections</Name> <NestedName>Collections</NestedName> <Notes /> <VideoPath>Videos\Platforms\Collections.mp4</VideoPath> <SortTitle /> </PlatformCategory>
parents are also not seeing collections, but xml says its there i had it all ok before update
<Parent>
<PlaylistId>dc52b1a2-12a8-42e7-b0ce-2367c76d0986</PlaylistId>
<ParentPlatformCategoryName>Collections</ParentPlatformCategoryName>
</Parent>I can access collections from playlist in options in BB, but its no longer appearing in categories
--Edit
damn Genres are also not visible in categories any more and it is in xml
<PlatformCategory> <Name>Genres</Name> <NestedName>Genres</NestedName> <Notes /> <VideoPath /> </PlatformCategory>
Whats the deal here?
I guess i have to manually delete from xml all extra additions from categories and add them again since LB is not seeing them..
P.S as mentioned in first post, LB is crashing upon deleting empty sub category

Really professional work. Amazing!

Awesome, do you have a suitable PSd for that ? I know I'm asking alot but no harm in asking right ?
each action should have 2 actions i believe, first one will create template, second one will after adding psd create output

@Robin55 Sorry man , i had my "beauty sleep"
I am not sure if i noticed it ,maybe i wasnt paying that much attention, anyway that is kinda complicated, u need to find where in script at which moment problem happens, remove it and record new one or just record new movement after the fact before it finishes. So be kind to share so i dont have to search as well?Thanks!

ChaseHQ works very much OK, with mame. I even made a bezel with gear shift on screen. If u get error that files are missing ,then just find them.
