There's plenty of space in the DBGL interface for another tab, and it would be very helpful for future migrations.

Right, like you said, not so small
Has been on my to-do list for quite some time now, will see what I can do.

Hi I'm going to install the new versions soon along with 0.73 thanks!
About that problem could be enough an option like "apply template to all/selected profiles"?
Bye!

0.73 doesn't know machine=vga. If it reads machine=vga, it'll switch to svga_s3 automatically.

What I meant is that the old profiles still work.

I have made a complete list of all the options supported by keyboardlayout so you can make a dropdown menu with them.

The list is in "dosbox guides" forum.

Great job both with 0.73 and DBGL! In 0.65 I see the filename of screenshots is displayed over them, is there a way to remove it? Thanks

Is there a way to run and use it from a USB thumb drive?

Yep. Move your games to the "dosroot" folder and edit profiles accordingly. Oh, and use a DOSBox instalation that is placed inside the DBGL folder.

A new test-build, 0.65a:

- (Limited) multi-profile editing to allow very easy migration to DOSBox 0.73
- Display a screenshot in a column in the profiles table
- Added Russian translation from Oleg

I'm using DBGL with an official build of DOSBox and a CVS one. Since the CVS is now outdated, I've tried to delete it from the database. But I can't, I get a "remove dosboxversion" error.

I've improved the error message so that a list is also shown with profiles/templates that are still associated to this DOSBox version.

Yep, was needed hard. I've made the profiles list multi-select, so that you can select multiple profiles (shift, ctrl, ctrl-a) and change the associated DOSBox version in one go. Please backup your DBGL 'profiles' and 'db' directory beforehand, try it out and report back with your findings or problems.

There is now, take a look in the updated settings dialog. Also new is the option to display the first screenshot in a column in your profiles list. Please note that SWT has a problem with table row-heights, meaning that you wil probably have to restart DBGL after enabling this feature, to make the list render correctly. You are free to move or resize the column, obviously.

Not high-priority, but I will take a look...

After adding 0.73 as a new DOSBox version, DBGL fails to correctly locate the (new) dosbox-0.73.conf file stashed away in %APP_DATA%. Instead DBGL looks in the the DOSBox 0.73 installation folder for the old-style dosbox.conf file.

A feature, not a bug 😉 Since DBGL supports multiple DOSBox versions, I decided it would be confusing to allow different conf locations for different versions, so consider it KISS practice (not to mention me being lazy 😁 )

it's near perfection 😀 I can provide the italian translation if you'd like it, you can just tell me what I'd need to do

congratulations and thanks for dbgl =)

i want to make a suggestion:

i like a "apply" button in the profile window and "<" (backward) and ">" (forward) buttons to change the editing profile without accept o close the actual profile

sorry for my bad english, i hope you can understand me xD

(sorry por create a new thread xd my mistake)

Hi... and thanks again for dbgl!
I only want to ask if it is possible to support other image formats before batch converting them to PNG 😀

So I tried to use DBGL 0.65 on Win7 RC1 with a 64-bit Java runtime installed and it told me that it couldn't load the 32-bit SWT libraries in a 64-bit VM. I guess I'll downgrade my Java install to 32-bit.

Hi all,

A new build is ready. Please let me know if it works correctly, especially for Linux, Mac, and 64-bit systems.

I decided that automation for the build-process was getting necessary. Took some time to set it up, but seems to be working now; anyone should be able to build the DBGL jar file now, or all packages by just downloading the src package and running ant.

* Added support for other screenshot image filetypes: ".gif", ".jpg", ".tif", ".tiff", ".ico" and ".bmp" are supported (retrofan)
* Made screenshots-pane scroll a bit faster
* Fixed an issue with screenshots being improperly sized on Mac platforms
* Prevented a crashbug when using screenshots in the profile table on Vista systems (realllly weird SWT bug)
* Fixed a crashbug when trying to sort the screenshots column by clicking on the table header

EDIT: removed outdated files

Regards,
Ronald

I still have problems creating shortcuts.. DBGL hangs and I have to close it. What can I do?

Hi code120, could you please start DBGL with dbglcons.cmd and post the console output you're getting after trying to create a desktop shortcut?!

EDIT: Darn, just realized jshortcut only works on 32-bit Java virtual machines. When you're using a 64-bit JVM, it will indeed crash; work-around is to simply use a 32-bit JVM. Will think about a true solution, in the meantime..

It says "accepting messages on port 4740", but launching with dbglcons it creates the shortcuts.. standard dbgl.jar freezes instead. Maybe it has something to do with user authorizations? I run Vista OS. When I first launched dbglcons it asked for the firewall to unlock it.

Edit: my Vista OS should be 32 bit btw

You should start DBGL with either dbgl.cmd or dbglcons.cmd, NOT by launching dbgl.jar directly. Does it work correctly for you when running dbgl.cmd?

Yes it worked with dbgl.cmd 😀 Thanks

Some feedback from an OpenSuse 11.0 64-bit user.

Tried the download given a few posts above with no success I'm afraid. The message I get when trying to run DBGL is:

./dbgl: line 4: /usr/lib/jvm/jre/java: No such file or directory

And indeed, for a standard JRE installation using YaST (OpenSuse package manager), it's right! The java file does exist in usr/bin.

Also, DBGL is available in the Packman repository. Sadly, this also does not work. It runs fine, but when you try to add a profile you get the following message:

Couldn't open file "/home/myusername/.dbgl/DOSBox-0.73/dosbox.conf" !

This is because, funnily enough, it does not exist. However, the following file DOES exist (i.e. without the version number):

/home/myusername/.dbgl/DOSBox/dosbox.conf

If I copy the directory and rename it as above, it gets as far as loading DOSBox before crashing.

I kind of lost interest at that point, so this post is as much for information as anything.
