Does a UI like this exist?

Note that filters are not persistent - i.e. restarting EmulationStation (or RetroPie) will revert to the un-filtered view.

Yup thanks, figured that one out too lol.

This actually has worked out perfectly. The sub folders are nice and neat and I don’t have to go through and decide who’s a parent and who’s not.

I may actually just get all these organized that I want and hide the “other games” folder entirely until someone comes to the house with some obscure request.

Thanks community!

@mitu Since when? It's always worked for me. Is that a recent change?

Since always ?

[IanDaemon]

@mitu Huh. Maybe I have a buggy set-up. Things always "stuck".

Things always "stuck".

Even if you restart EmulationStation ?

[IanDaemon]

Yeah, I power-on the cabinet and I get a filtered view. Kiosk. Turn it off. Turn it on. Filtered kiosk.

[mitu]

Hm, I was referring to the 'Filter' menu available in a gamelist, where you can filter by multiple fields (like Genre or Rating)

The automatic fitlering done by Kiosk or Kid UI modes are ok (they're persistent).

[IanDaemon]

Oh, he was talking about Kiosk and Kid mode.

Hey I just tried this....and it didn’t actually do anything.

I clicked on edit meta data.
Set some stuff to “hidden”
Turned on kiosk mode and they are still there?

As far as I can tell too there’s no difference between kiosk and kid mode either.

That's the "filtering" I was talking about.

@IanDaemon

The few times I’ve restarted I’ve had to go into filters and click hidden on again.
