      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
      Stefan
