Adding games, no longer has default emulator

[5thWolf]

Since the last big updates to the menu system, I noticed when I add a new game, the default emulator is empty. Every system use to have a default EMU chosen for whatever platform you set.

When I look at the associated platform for say Bizhawk, non of the platforms are defaulted when adding a game. I have to manually click on BizHawk and associate it as the emulator.

Did something change and I have to set the defaults else where?

Having same problem here.

I double checked associated platforms to the emulators. All the proper one's check boxes are checked. i even tried unchecking then rechecking. Nothing.

Have not seen this issue and just tested some games. Default emulator is showing up. Tested on latest LB stable version as well as the latest beta.

How are you importing? Drag and drop or are you scanning for new file? Also is this an English version of LB or one of the translated language versions?

Images from importing a Game Boy game. During the import wizard you can see in the second image it recognize Retroarch as my default for Game Boy. The last image is the edit screen of the game. The Emulation tab is showing RA is attached to it.

For me this is happening when I manually add a single new game.

I am not using the wizard. I am adding my games manually.

How exactly are you manually doing it? Specifics might help.

If you add a game in anyway directly in the LB interface the wizard comes up.

I can also confirm that this feature is for some reason disabled or hasn't moved to the updated GUI:

And when you search with "Search metadata", you get all the fields filled with the metadata found in the Database:
But then the emulation field remains empty:

And, yes - my default emulator for PC-9801 is "Retroarch".

Before the new GUI update, the Emulator field was also auto-filled when there was an entry on the database.

Thanks @kurzih The exact steps is always the best to share. Confirm as well when added this way it is not defaulting. I sent this to one of the devs.

Can confirm the report. Thanks for bringing it up. I will take a look into it and see what we can't do to bring that logic back to the new Add/Edit screen.

Not sure which version changed it, but it's all showing again like it should.
