      Tabs vs Spaces again...

      I was looking for all valid xml entries for a gamelist.xml. The more "natural" doc would be the GAMELISTS.md, but it lacks info about <video>, <marquee>, etc. Fortunately this doc says: "(if you suspect this section is out of date, check out src/MetaData.cpp)"

      And here is how the info I need looks like thanks to the use of tabs:

                  @lilbud Maybe you're asking based on that "poluted" screen shot... Actually most of my development is done on my Linux laptop (x86). That screenshot is the default terminal program from Linux Mint Cinnamon, those menus at the top are in portuguese, those numbers at the bottom with bash at right is from a software called tmux (it's a way to open several terminal "windows" in only one console).

                    Ah, I was searching for it online for Windows, since I use Windows 10 for anything Retropie related. I absolutely hate PuTTY for numerous reasons, but it seems to be the only option at the moment.

                      @lilbud When I need to ssh from a Windows machine I use PuTTY. What you don't like? The small fonts?

                        @meleu The garbled text on terminal menus.

                        But I just found a new alternative, called KiTTY, http://kitty.9bis.net/

                        The best feature is auto login. So when you connect to the Pi, it will automatically login to the pi account.

                          @meleu When I try to download a branch using the newest version of this tool, I get a connection failed error, even though I have a stable internet connection.

                            I use KiTTY as well! It's a fork of PuTTY that's in active development.

                              @lilbud I'm checking the code now.

                              Can you say the steps you did so I can reproduce it here?

                                @meleu ok

                                • Step 1: Update tool to latest version from command line (updating from the tool itself fails immediately)
                                • Step 2: Edit ES Branch list and load ES branches list from Retropie repo
                                • Step 3: Attempt to build any branch from the available list, it will fail immediately and claim connection is bad.

                                The problem is not on my end, it says the connection failed, but I could download the repo list just fine, so I think the problem lies within the program code.

                                      @Hex sorry, I didn't get what you mean. It says "... branches list from open PRs in RetroPie repo", isn't it enough?

                                        I need to test this out rather than post messages when i am sleepy. Sorry for the confusion.
