      @fluffypillow and @halfmanhalfcake thank you for replying to my questions. I must be dumber than i thought, I cant make it work in any form. I followed the guide and nothing Pegasus just cant find my games. Anyhow ill keep on trying. Thanks to the screenshots i managed to finish the Spanish translation. Im not well versed in github, i uploaded a zip file with the docs inside. Hope thats alright. Let me know.

        @sikboy Thanks! Could you also upload the TS file? I can then generate the QM one during the build.
        As for the games, do you see anything in the log? It should be under C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\pegasus-frontend or C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\pegasus-frontend, called lastrun.log. You should see something like "path\to\collections.txt found" if the directory you've listed in the game_dirs.txt is found and there's that file in it (and similarly for the metadata). If Pegasus makes you feel dumb, that's a bug; I'll see this improved in the future.

          @fluffypillow I uploaded the TS files as you requested. Ill try to keep the translation updated as you add or update the text strings.

          Heres my lastrun.log:

          Found locale 'American English' (en)
          Found locale 'magyar' (hu-Hung)
          Found locale 'magyar' (hu)
          Locale set to 'American English' (en)
          Found theme 'Pegasus Grid [built-in]' (:/themes/pegasus-grid/)
          Theme set to 'Pegasus Grid [built-in]' (:/themes/pegasus-grid/)

          Closing Pegasus, goodbye!

          I'm trying to keep everything confined to the Pegasus folder on my desktop.

            @sikboy I've just added the translation, thanks!

            From the log, it seems you collection file has been found correctly, so perhaps you have issues with the files: entries? At the moment, they have to be relative paths to the files, and located in the directory (or the subdirectories) of where the collection file is located.

              I have a very fresh experimental Windows build that's smaller and doesn't need all those DLLs to run. Anyone willing to try it? It's here, I'd be interested in knowing on which Windows versions does it run fine, and whether this solves video playback issues and general slowness.

                Finally got around to remapping my buttons to test the new Pageup/down functionality - THANKS, it's really nice!

                  So this week's changes:

                  • Added Spanish localization (thanks @sikboy)
                  • Games that have no video now show the screenshot instead (requested by someone ages ago)
                  • Fixed asset searching for games in subdirectories
                  • Fixed spamming the log with warnings when Pegasus runs in window and it's X-ed out
                  • Updated the error messages that still said ES2-specific things
                  • Updated all previous localizations
                  • Fixed the name of the Old Hungarian localization in the settings menu
                  • Fixed languages sometimes sorted randomly

                  I've been also experimenting with improving the support for other platforms, optimizing the Windows build and preparing for Android support.

                    @fluffypillow How to contribute? I'd like to do the danish version! Should I just download e.g. the pegasus_es.ts and change the spanish words to danish and somehow upload it or mail it to you?

                    And for my monthly question: How far away is the favorites button? :)

                      @andershp A quick way to (de-)activate the favorites filter would be great, indeed. Is there already a feature request?

                        @fluffypillow I was the one that asked for the screenshot, thanks. Not sure, but the screenshot may be slowing pegasus down. It's not as fluid and smooth as before. The screenshot also doesn't look that great at that size. Maybe downsize it a bit/have the option to not have it at all to test speeds.

                          @andershp Yeah, petty much :) There's a translation guide here and and the other translation files here. There are also screenshots here.

                          How far away is the favorites button?

                          When it's done™®©

                          In all seriousness though, storing favorites, stats and such will be likely the next larger part being worked on.

                          @Clyde you mean a hotkey for toggling the Favorites checkbox on-off in the filter panel? I think that's quite quick already. I could probably make the panel remember which row it was focused on instead.

                            @darksavior Hm that's interesting, I'll see if this happens to me too. But yeah theme options would be another nice thing to work on.

                              @fluffypillow Would you mind if we were to mod the default pegasus theme? Keep the functionality but change the look/colours, into something like, for example the Nintendo Switch UI or XBOX one elements?

                                @halfmanhalfcake wouldn't that be a completely different theme then? :)

                                    Excited for the Pegasus Frontend! I was using the instructions to use the repository in Ubuntu and during apt install, it threw the error below. Potentially the underscore in the version string?

                                    "dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/pegasus-frontend_6ec6b57% 5fx11-static_amd64.deb (--unpack):

                                      @praetorian55 Ah, I've forgot to bump the version number yesterday. Should be fixed now, thanks!

                                      EDIT: It's still failing, let's see if I can remove the old package somehow...
                                      EDIT2: Ok, it's really fixed now.

                                          After further testing and some quiet contemplation, I agree that the filter menu is fast enough. :)

                                          As for the menu itself, an option to add custom filters via GUI or config file would be nice. Do you know the highly customisable filter function of the front-end Attract Mode? That would my dream, but I guess it requires a lot of programming effort behind the curtain.

                                            @clyde this custom filter thing actually sound really nice, it'd extend the current implementation nicely and isn't that hard to add. Will take a look on it.
