Fantastic front end with great options. One small thing that's stopping me switching from Tinylauncher is that it seems to have issues with the naming of custom/user games e.g. the various Sensible Soccer user updates:
(Top is how TinyLauncher displays the versions, bottom of the WHDLoadMenu display, get similar things with SWOS and games with mission packs) Is there any way of getting WHDLoadMenu to display it in the way TinyLauncher does ? |

I'm not a programmer but wouldn't it be possible to "simply" add another argument like WB to whdloadmenu and whdloadmenuanim? Something like this: Code:
WHDLoadMenu whdloadmenu.prefs whdloadmenu.output WB Maybe this needs an extra method to specify the program and possible arguments. And it probably needs a way to define if a file is an icon or not. As far as I know, most of those tools don't accept icons as option. An extra file like whdloadmenu.custom would do the trick. If it exists, the default whdload call will be replaced. Then we can create a text file like: Code:
WBLoad >NIL: %f WAIT I personally prefer to use WBLoad from the CLICon package because it has a WAIT argument, which maybe will help preventing to show whdloadmenu when a file is launched using such method. Also WBLoad does not have any other requirements compared to WBrun. Hmm, I wonder if I could make this work right now by renaming WBLoad to WHDLoad, and WHDLoad to something else which I then use as default tool. Might be worth a try, although maybe the parsed tooltypes will prevent WBLoad to start. |

From the instructions in the .lha package:
Press Help to rescan the WHDLoadable application directory and generate a database based on the results. |

Code:
Sensible Soccer=Path:To/SensibleSoccerEuro1MB/SensibleSoccerEuro1MB.Slave Code:
Sensible Soccer Euro 1 MB=Path:To/SensibleSoccerEuro1MB/SensibleSoccerEuro1MB.Slave WHDLoadMenu currently uses the name defined in the slave file if there is one. If not, it uses the slave or icon name without the .slave or .info extension. The 1MB Sensible Soccer versions all use a slave file which defines Sensible Soccer as the name of the game. To get results you're expecting this name would have to be ignored, the name taken from the slave or icon name and spaces added between lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers. This could be implemented as an option in a future WHDLoadMenu release (no promises though!). |

I'm trying to use WHDLoadMenu at the moment to peruse a large list of WHDLoad games (as many people do), and whilst it does what it says on the tin, it would be nice when exiting a game it returned somewhere near where we got to in the list when we launched the game rather than returning to the very start of the list every time.
Is that (easily) doable? |
