Title: Problem adding gamelist to a tree (Resolved)
Post by: markronz on January 05, 2011, 01:27:15 pm

Yo!  Found another bug, this one is in the tree editor.   I've attached a zip file which contains my mala tree file in it.  What I want to do is add a gamelist named "-- Favorites --"   I intend to add this gamelist so it is the first one listed under MAME.  So it will be like this:

Mame
     -- Favorites --
     All Games
     Etc
     Etc
     Sports
           Basketball
           Baseball
           Etc
           Etc
    X-men-Like Games
NES - All Games
SNES - All Games

When you highlight MAME and click Add Gamelist, it adds a New Node entry to the bottom of the MAME gamelists.
Then I rename the New Node to be -- Favorites --.
Then I press the Move Up button repeatedly trying to get it to the top of the tree, above the All Games list like shown in my tree example above.

But it won't let the new gamelist move up past the Sports screen shown above.  It sort of gets stuck there and won't jump up a level and keep moving up the list.

Hopefully that makes sense.  Let me know if not.

Looking at this now too...

I see what you mean.

If you move up or down it will drop down a sub menu ...but never up a sub menu.

I'm sure you could work around it with good planning but I will fix it anyways as it would be very annoying  ;D

Yeah, I was able to work around it.  I just had to move my Sports sub menu to the very top, add my new gamelist (which adds it to the bottom of the list), move it up into position, and then move my Sports sub menu back into place where I wanted it.

So yes, it's doable, but I just thought I'd report it anyway since it's obviously not working as designed.   I appreciate you taking care of it!

I appreciate good bug reporting.

Even if I decide not to fix it straight away if I have report of teh bug and how to recreate it will get fixed later
