      Don't know how to add the small drop shadow effect.

      Here : https://www12.lunapic.com/editor/

      Border section ---> dropShadow
      Scrollbar = 5

              Very nice!!! Do you like the drop shadow effect? I think it gives a realistic touch

                      Perfect.

                      We should test if the old file is going to be updated.
                      I think it has to be removed first.

                      That could be an issue.

                      Edit :
                      I tested it and the file wasn't updated.

                      I added the issue on github :
                      https://github.com/matthuisman/gdrivedl/issues/19

                        I would like you to add the artwork for videopin for mame .
                        It's described here :
                        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/31255/atari-video-pinball-backdrop

                        Artwork :
                        https://www92.zippyshare.com/v/9Gp7lzW5/file.html

                        It comes from "mame202artworkall".
                        Perhaps there is more, in there, that can be added.

                        Though, for lr-mess there isn't a solution yet.

                            Thanks,

                            Looked at the links but could not find a videopin backdrop overlay.

                              For Google Drive issues, would it be easier if I put everything on GitHub?

                                Let's wait for Matt first, perhaps he can improve his script.

                                But indeed github could be a better way in the long run.

                                There are some advantages like :

                                • forking
                                • easy collaborating
                                • perhaps skipping files when cloning for an update

                                But there could also be some downsides :

                                • how much data will we have in the future and what is the data-limit of github ?
                                • I think cloning doesn't work when we add files manual locally because it wants to sync with the repository. So testing files on the harddrive becomes more difficult.
                                • Perhaps we also face some ownership issues

                                We can do some tests with a few files and see how it works.

                                  Matt changed his script and added the option -m or --mtimes.
                                  link

                                  I added this in my script (not on github yet).

                                  It's downloading all again now, just as Matt explained.
                                  When I am ready we have to change 1 file and revert it back to test if this solution works.

                                  Edit:
                                  It has downloaded now.
                                  Tried to download everything again and now it said that the files exist.
                                  Looking good, so far !

                                  So now you can throw in an different file with the same name and I can test if it's working.
                                  For example, you could place your old pofo.zip back for a while.

                                  If you want to test it also, use this line (1058) with the added -m :

                                  python3 - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/$1 -m -P "$2"

                                      Can you put in a file for me so I can test it too ?

                                      Can you put first a dummy "videopin.zip" onto the google drive ?
                                      And after I acknowledge, the real one ?
