mamewah screensaver: no game description?

[papaschtroumpf]

My screensaver form has an artwork #1 field and a "game descritpion" field above it.
I use attract movies rather than snaps in artwork #1, and it works fine, but the "game description" field never shows up?

I'm guessing the problem is either than there is a bug when playing movies that other fields don't show up, or for whatever reason, the "game description" field is always empty. My attract movies are named xxxx.avi where xxxx is the rom name (for example pacman.avi or 1941.avi) so I would expect mamewah to be able to find the corresponding game full name (which I assume is what the description field means). Running mame 0.92 if it matters.

Game descriptions only show up when using the 'slideshow' screensaver, since the image list is built from your games list vs available images.  For movies, all movies are played regardless of whether they relate to games in your list.

Any way to show the game description anyway? since it's the same name as the corresponding .png artwork it seems easy, but again what do I know. The idea is to see a game in the screensaver and go "Hey that loks fun, I'll have to try it sometime" and remember the name.

I haven't been able to set mamewah up to autoselect the game and exit the (movie) screensaver either, which would be another way to figure out the name for the current game. Maybe it's the same issue, or maybe it's operator error on my part since I had never tried to use this feature before.

Either way, not a huge deal.
