Neville, do you remember changing some preferences on your first DBGL startup? Then that could indeed be the cause. It is fixed in this new beta build.

Yeah, the alteration of the language setting was probably it.

Does anyone here know why I am getting this error when trying to import Exodos games/profiles into DBGL?
This problem was fixed in 0.99beta2.

I was just reminded elsewhere that DOSBox allows for long filenames in floppy images when using " with the imgmount option, but DBGL doesn't seem comfortable with that. Is there anything that can be done about it?
Mmmh, I don't know, will take a look.

Also, DOSBox Staging v0.81.1 just came out, and it includes a new option, vmem_delay = on.
It's designed to fix flicker in a number of CGA / EGA and early VGA games, such as Future Wars, Operation Stealth, Quest for Glory II, Hostages, The Gold of the Aztecs, Crazy Brix, Corncob Deluxe, and Corncob 3-D.
I'll see if I can get it working with DBGL, adding it to the dynamic options.
That won't work Neville, the 'dynamic options' can only be used to change a known option its values (for the dropdown). Thus it won't help you with newly introduced DOSBox options.
However, I've added 'vmem_delay' to a new DBGL testing build. Please note that I'm calling this new build 'alpha' quality, so please be careful using this build as your daily driver. If you do intend to update an existing DBGL installation, make copies of your data in advance. The new template/profile-editor is still very much a work in progress and will require more testing.
In the past, DBGL analyzed a DOSBox's .conf to detect its 'family' (official, gulikoza, daum, dosbox-ece, dosbox-staging, dosbox-x, etc). This information was then used when switching a profile from one family to another, to make sure the profile remained valid for the newly selected family.
In this new alpha build, the family autodetection is removed, which means it has to be configured per 'DOSBox Version' in DBGL itself:

Each family has it's own version numbering scheme. If you want to use a DOSBox family that is not listed in DBGL, it's probably best to select 'Official', version '0.74-3'. If the exact version is not available, select the nearest version below yours (for example, choose 'DOSBox Staging' and '0.81.0' for DOSBox Staging v0.81.1).
DOSBox ECE and DOSBox Staging should now be fully supported (except for a few niche options). Support for DOSBox-X has only just started, so will require lots of work, still.
About the new profile editor; I've tried to organize DOSBox options into logical categories, but that is really not an easy task. Also, as support for DOSBox-X is still underway, more options have yet to be added, and existing options might move around. If anyone has suggestions on how to improve the layout and categorization of the options in the new profile editor, please let me know!

Also, I've updated and added many option's descriptions (when hovering over it with your mouse). To conclude, the German translation was updated in alpha3 by Marcel Luka.
Any feedback is appreciated. ALPHA3.

Ronald
