ES not writing back all gameslist.xml properties
-
Hi,
I am noticing a strange behavior.
My gameslist.xml looks like this.<?xml version="1.0"?> <gameList> <game> <path>C:/Temp/roms/mame/wboy.zip</path> <name>Wonder Boy</name> <thumbnail /> <image>C:/Temp/roms/mame/media/screenshots/wboy.png</image> <marquee>C:/Temp/roms/mame/media/marquees/wboy.png</marquee> <video>C:/Temp/roms/mame/media/videos/wboy.mp4</video> <rating>0.9</rating> <desc>Wonder Boy .......</desc> <releasedate>19860101T000000</releasedate> <developer>SEGA</developer> <publisher>SEGA</publisher> <genre>Platform / Shooter Scrolling, Platform</genre> <players>2</players> <lastplayed>20220704T121951</lastplayed> <playcount>2</playcount> </game> </gameList>
And all the paths point to available files. But when I close ES then ES overwrites the gamelist.xml and does not write back all properties such as videos oder marques.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <gameList> <game> <path>./wboy.zip</path> <name>Wonder Boy</name> <desc>Wonder Boy .....</desc> <image>./media/screenshots/wboy.png</image> <rating>0.9</rating> <releasedate>19860101T000000</releasedate> <developer>SEGA</developer> <publisher>SEGA</publisher> <genre>Platform / Shooter Scrolling, Platform</genre> <players>2</players> <playcount>4</playcount> <lastplayed>20220704T131121</lastplayed> </game> </gameList>
Am I missing something?
regards
