Home Page Forums MAME QMC2 a few minor bugreports for 0.46 on Mac

Not sure if this is the right place to post these, but here are a few bugs I noticed:

- arcade: the only way to filter the list is export it, the other options will not affect it in any way
- pop-up menus disappear by themselves after a few seconds
- drop down menus are to small, and some labels (especially shortcuts) are truncated
- Cmd-Q does not work, I have to use Cmd-X to close the app

and two feature requests:
- is there a way to show multiple images (eg screenshot + title + flyer) at the same time
- is there a way to move the Game Info box so that it shows at the same time as a game image?

Those are no bugs . But anyway, that's the reason why there are themes (only 2 right now), and one can always add more of them... regarding filtering, yes, that's a works-as-designed thing. And regarding keyboard shortcuts: you can change those for the main GUI and QMC2 Arcade (also from the main GUI).

Also, which pop-up menus are you talking about?

re keyboard shortcuts: the menu on top shows the Cmd-Q shortcut, but it won't work, so maybe just a visualization error
re popup menus: for example, if I right click a game, the popup stays open for a few seconds, then closes by itself
re arcade: the ckeckbox next to "use filtering" made me think that the buttons below work independently...

thanks for the good work!

Hmmm, Qt 4 has certain known issues with Command-keys on the Mac, so probably it's really a bug (not necessarily QMC2's fault, but I have to check...). Anyway, as I don't have a Mac myself it's hard for me to test. Could you check if explicit remapping of the keyboard shortcut(s) in question fixes it?! And which shortcut is shown in the key-sequence scanner when you press Cmd+Q?

Interesting... that's "unexpected" to say the least. As I haven't heard of it before may be there's some local setting at your side interfering? Or can someone else on Mac OS X reproduce this?

Yeah, you can choose between using the full game/machine list or a "filtered" version of it for QMC2 Arcade.

Finally back into business after the shit factory stopped supplying the fan.

My bug is:
I can't select an external drive.
I have an external drive with sdlmame executables and all roms, but I can't select it when trying to setup QMC2.

Does the external drive show up in Finder?

Yes.
I even compiled MAME on it using the Terminal and I can launch MAME without issue from the Terminal.
Better: I used RomVault through Parallels to update the ROMs on this very external drive (something that clrmamepro couldn't do, BTW).

So where's the external drive mounted in the VFS? I'd assume something like "/<volume-name>"... and that should be selectable from within QMC2 provided the UID it's running as has sufficient access permissions.

Also, try enabling "Use native file dialogs" in the setup (GUI section) to see if that fixes it... it could be a problem with Qt's built-in file-dialogs. Native dialogs are the ones that the OS provides.

Yeah, I didn't think of typing the path directly; that did the trick, thank you.

But how can I enable native dialogs if I can't pass the first wizard screen? Maybe some note could be added to the ultimate manual.
