The layout convertor does NOT move the graphics for you.. It just converts the format. If you make a folder in mala with the same name as the graphics and put the graphics in there it will work

the wiki says that you can just dump every thing in the root mala folder and it should work.. messy but work.  That it did not.  Putting it into that folder fixed the problem.  I have now moved all my layouts to the layout folder and now it is working well.

so now i am working on sizing it .  640X 480 is good for a tv right?

so that is what i am working whit.  the problem is i cannot shrink down the font of the list now.  its too big and takes up too much room on the list?  is there a trick to fixing this?  I have adjusted it in the layout editor.  i even tried drastic changes to no avail.

steveh:
Figured it out.

It said you can operate two ways:
1) All Graphics in mala folder
2) All graphics in subfolders with the same name as the layout (Default)

You need to change a checkbox in mala depending on which way you want to work

Glad you figured it out anyway
