If you modify it with ctrl+f1 before assigning a custom map, it will alter the default one and the changes will apply for all games.

omg thanks, I must have been blind!

Yep, you're right, I've fixed that now.

Test build 0.76e contains:

* Fixed MobyGames.com info querying (as far as I understand, the site's structure/design may be in a state of flux for the coming time, so more breakage is certainly possible. Please let me know if there are issues)
* Implemented a more user-friendly way to create a filter query, using tri-state checkboxes in the filter tree
* Used a sash in the filter dialog so that the filter tree can be enlarged/reduced more easily
* Allow for proper cancellation of a multi-edit dialog (correctly stopping threads) so that the the profiles list is correctly updated and no exceptions do occur

All the latest files
To upgrade, grab the dbgl.jar as usual.

Regards,
Ronald

Yes, but it's still broken/has issues...

1: Setting "Or" at the group level doesn't set the groups to be or'd together. Instead it adds in extra needless parenthesis...

Year 1980 or Action Genre=
((YR.YEAR='1980'))
AND
((GEN.NAME='Action'))

2: You only apply the UPPER() function for things like title word sub-selections. It may be preferable to apply that everywhere, or enable some way to control if case was respected or not. A global checkbox per filter would probably be OK.

3: The other issue is that it's not convenient to cycle through group level settings (i.e. and -> or -> off -> and), since hitting the "off" setting clears your selections forcing them to be reselected when it resets to "and" and one can't move from "and" to "or" until selections are re-made. You probably need to enable a fourth "selected but disabled" state to maintain sub-selections even if a group is disabled.

1. You need to have at least 2 groups 'grayed' for this to work! The parentheses are necessary when more groups are checked.
2. Maybe, but for now, I think it is powerfull/complex enough as it is
3. A fourth state is not available in SWT, and will be making things even more complex. Maybe I should get rid of the 'off' selection when children are checked?!

Then it may be better to just leave them selected, but use logic that looks at the group level to ignore the selections.

^ Agreed!

Changes in test build 0.76f:
* The filter tree behavioral change mentioned above;
* Added box-sized tiles in gallery view mode as it seems to be all the rage these days
* Gallery background color can be changed, for now just by hand editing settings.config ([gui] gallerybackgroundcolor=r g b, for example gallerybackgroundcolor=215 215 215)

This will probably be the last test build, so please be quick with updated translations!

Updated Spanish translation.

Hello, i'm new in this forum so welcome everyone and first of all thanks rcblanke for your great work on DBGL 😀

There seem to be some issue with your latest beta build. I downloaded 0.76f jar file and after launching DBGL nothing happens, when replaced with 0.76 from official package it works well. What could be the problem?

Hi Heretic,
You're most probably missing a couple of files. Put this gallery-0.6.0.jar file in your DBGL LIB folder, and this default.xml file in your DBGL TEMPLATES folder.

Thanks, works now 😀 my gallery lib was 0.5.3, it caused the problem.

Hi all, release 0.77 is up on the website, enjoy! No major changes since the last test build; just included Neville's and Zhang Ying's translation updates, and a small improvement to prevent duplicate results in a MobyGames query (the underlying reason being that pagination is somewhat broken on MG).

Hellooo!
Do you think this is the longest running thread on the web?:)
it seems to have been going since 2006,WOW!

P.S...It's great to see DBGL is still been improved on.
Very useful program it is.

Hey there, I just wanted to say this thing is freaking Awesome. Just one thing, is it Portable?? As in, Can I put it on an External Drive without it depending on any settings being set to Registry, or User Profile folders??

Also, I tried adding Doom 2 onto the list. I have the full version.. But for some reason, it was never found on Moby or any of the other 2 querying sites. I did everything right.. I think.

Anyhow, nice job on this. Really takes all the Guest work out of installing and running a Dosgame.

EDIT: Just wanted to know, is there any way to Tweak the Mouse Sensitivity on one Profile?? I know of going into DOSBOX's conf file and changing it there, but that would effect every game from the launcher.. Right?

Hi there, thanks for the nice words!

Yes, DBGL is very much portable; it uses relative paths so that you can use the same DBGL installation on whatever disk/folder/location, and even multiple operating systems. Personally, I run DBGL from off an external hdd, works fine.

If you're having trouble querying the mobygames site using DBGL, you're probably using an outdated DBGL version. As all 3 sites (mobygames.com, pouet.net and hotud.org) were altered recently, DBGL was unable to parse their search-results. This has been fixed in version 0.77. If you're upgrading to this latest version, please read the special note on the website about how to upgrade.

You can find the mouse sensitivity setting in the I/O tab in the profile-editor, 2nd option.

With 0.77 version I have some problems while querying Mobygames (in its new incarnation).. eg while querying "Fantasy Pack" I get this error:

--------
Couldn't retrieve information from MobyGames for "Fantasy Pack" !

Technical information:
String index out of range: -20
--------

Do I nee to provide more infos?

Nope, will be fixed soon, in a new build. Thanks for reporting this issue, RetroFAN.

Nice. Update worked just fine. One more question though, how does one add screenshots to the game profile, if one added a Game in the list??

CTRL+F5.

Nvm, I found out via Options..

Dunno what CTRL+F5 does.. If you was just having fun there, wouldn't it be CTRL+F4?
