CPWizard v2.63 Released
8trek:
running 2.42. using the batch export tool to export all png layout images. getting random results after changing control mapping. sometimes a reexport of image shows the new mapping of controls, othertimes does not. also noticing weird things like the date modified on the newly created exported image shows like it's old by like 10 or 20 minutes. usually when this happens have to shutdown everything then re-attempt then shows current modified time. have played around with modifying the controls.xml file to see if i can change something as simple as text but changing this file seems to have no affect. anyone out there done anything like this? thanks.

Hello!
Is there some way to open the preview utility via command line?
It would be the same result as: "cpwizard -game pang -show" (pang for example) but in windowed mode.
I need this because I want to create a script to open 2 cpwizard layouts, one for each player. That would be perfect for each player to see movement list in fighting games.

If you are using two separate displays - could you use some kind of 'duplicate displays'?

Nope. I'm using only one display. BTW, duplicating displays would not work, because the second layout for the second player uses his controls opening another installation of cpwizard, with the controls configured for the second player.
I just need to open layout mode in a window, same way as the Cpwizard View=>Preview application does, but via command line.
The command line we all know "cpwizard -game sf2 -show" ALWAYS open the layout in full screen mode, and I can't find a way to run it windowed, which is what I need.
Thanks for answering anyway :)

CPwizard 2.42 has a bug. To be concrete, it's the New Bezel Method (LUA Plugin):
When pressing PAUSE in MAME, the game screen turns directly into the first option in "Video Options" (inside the TAB menu). In some games it activates Upright Artwork, in others like Outrunners this is more serious... cause if you're playing dual screen in turns into single screen....
It's not neccesary to have CPwizard opened to reproduce the bug. It happens as soon as you copy the cp plugin inside mame plugins folder.
