Mala gamelist position

(1/3) > >>

amerish:
Been playing with Mala and seems easier then mamewah.  I can easily create new layouts in the layout editor 0.9.8. 
The problem I am having is when I actually run mala.  It seems that the game list does not stay in the same position as where it was in the layout editor.  It seems to always want to move to the left upper corner.

This only seems to impact the game layout.  Snap/Title picture or Marquee picture stay where I place them.

Also is there any english documentation for this front end?

Thanks.

Sorry, there is no english documentation at the moment. If anybody is interested in translating the wiki (http://mala.arcadezentrum.com/wiki) into english, drop me a pm at http://www.arcadezentrum.com/forum/. My nick is swindus.

I checked your problem right now and for me it works. Some questions:
Are you using a fixed size layout?
Does it occur in horizontal orientation or vertical or both?

You can open the mll file with a text editor and check the following values in the [horizontal] and [vertical] section:

ListTop=xxx
ListLeft=xxx
ListHeight=xxx
ListWidth=xxx

In MaLaLayout the top and the left values are displayed in the statusbar.
Any differences?

amerish:
I can go in an manually set the position in the mll with
ListTop=xxx
ListLeft=xxx
ListHeight=xxx
ListWidth=xxx

and have done so.  However I thought thats what the layout tool was for.

I have tried it both with fixed size layout checked and unchecked.

might just be a glitch with the layout tool.

One temp solution is to look at the Websites Via a translator. eg:

WIKI Mala Documentation:
http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmala.arcadezentrum.com%2Fwiki%2Fdoku.php&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&prev=%2Flanguage_tools

It's a very basic translation, but you can get some great info on these sites.

Yes, right! Thats what the layout tool is for.
I asked you to check if there are any differences between the display in MaLaLayout and the saved mll file. If so I can search and fix it. Btw you are the first person who report such an error in the last 2 years.
