MaLa FE. Under new management.
fjl:
Hey loadman, has the newer versions of Mala finally fixed the problem where exiting a game, you cannot control the FE because it somehow becomes a background window and the only way to regain access is by clicking a mouse button?

Yes.. ;D

Wha??? Loadman, you're acknowledging that 1.04 has this problem? I've gotten the impression in the past that there is no known focus problem with mala itself so I just wrote a plugin to log focus changes to a file so I could determine if some background app was the culprit, and the only culprit seems to be window "NULL" ;) So I changed my plugin to set focus to mala if no window has the focus. That seems to be working as a workaround, but I eagerly await the fix in the next version!
:cheers:

Hmm I've had that problems several times too... Mala starts up with Windows, but I can't navigate the menu or start a game... unless I alt+tab back to Mala or click the left mouse button (presumably giving focus to Mala).
Mala needs an 'always on top' type of option.

OK Let me clarify. I Kinda lied as I was in a hurry at the time...
A Future version WILL fix it one way or another. I have not done it yet.
I acknowledge that some users tell me there is a problem. I have not experienced it yet personally but I only use Mame really.
So YES I will look at the problem and fix it one way or another eventually.
But if you think you can re-create the circustance in which it happens or a workaround please advise in a PM to save me time when I get around to looking at it
TheShanMan: Please send me details of your plug-in (and the plug-in) to help me.
Thanks
