Hey loadman! Found another little weird bug for ya.
I use Mala Tree, and there is the bug on the main screen when displaying the screen shots for the different game emulators.
So like I mentioned before, my home menu on my tree looks something like this:
MAME
--All Games
--Favorites
--Etc
--Etc
NES--All Games
SNES--All Games
So on my main menu, the first screen that pops up, I see all the options here for the different systems. I have a different picture that displays for each item on the list. As it's supposed to be set up, I have these menu screen shots in the \Mala\Mala Tree Snaps directory.
This was working great, and the system screen shots were showing. That is, until I started to play with my Display Delay settings.
Currently I have the display delay enabled. If the Snap/Title box is unchecked, and I launch Mala, the system screenshots do not display at all.
If I check the Snap/Title box, and then close and reopen Mala, the system screenshots do work.
So it seems as though this is directly related to this setting. The main menu screen should not have a delay on it. This display delay setting should only come into play when on the various gamelist screens and not on the main menu part of the mala tree.
Hopefully that makes sense. Let me know if not.
Also of note, if I have the Snap/Title box unchecked, and I launch Mala, the screenshots do not show as I mentioned before. But if I right click, go to Options and then click OK, the screenshots DO display then, however the items on the Mala tree are then rearranged in alphabetic order (versus what I have set up in my tree). Seems like this is a bug too, albeit a pretty harmless one.
Let me know if you need any more details on these! Thank you!

Looking at this now

OK I have fixed the bug so now it displays after a delay (rather than not display at all). The fix will be in the next Beta.
I decided not to skip the sanp delay on MaLa Tree Menu's. The reason is a user may have a Big tree list and want snap delay.
It could be changed to be the way you want or optional I suppose :P
That may need more thought.. :dunno

I noticed this but I don't have the energy to think about this right now. As you say it is pretty harmless.

Cool. Yeah I'm ok with there being a display delay on the main screen. It's a short delay anyway, so it doesn't matter. I guess the main problem was that it wasn't displaying at all. So that's cool that this will be fixed!
As for the reorder bug, I'm not worried about it. I just wanted to point it out. I hope you find this helpful. I hope I'm not being a nuisance by pointing out these bugs to you. Just thought it'd help to get these items corrected and firm up MaLa even more! Again, I can't say this enough, but thanks for all the work you put in!

Bring it on... ;D
I like to kill bugs.... ;D
I only get annoyed if users 'pester/nag' me for enhancements :-[
But most users have been really helpful and constructive of late
Thanks
:cheers:

This appears to be working now! The main menu screen shots are there now, even with the display delay enabled. Thanks!
