Emulationstation 2.1.0RP not saving metadata

fieldofcows

Ok. Got it. It only happens on systems that use folders when checking to see if the metadata for the folder has changed. I know what the problem is and how to fix it.

In fact, @Buzz has already suggested the correct fix in https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/issues/79. I'll update the issue with the reason the fix works.

Thanks everyone and sorry for causing the issue :(

@fieldofcows seems the only time bugs show up is when it's actually put in the master :p thanks for the quick response :)

This is now fixed - please update ES from binary (or source if you prefer).

Really speedy work, y'all!

Any idea why it was only happening to 3 of my systems? Seems weird.

Do you only have rom subfolders on those 3 systems? That would explain it.

You guys are an amazing development team. I'm proud to be here!

@fieldofcows path for ~~all~~ roms are .\retropie\roms\SYSTEM\FILE

I'll check when I get home from work to make sure this fixed it :X

ETA: WRONG. PC (DosBox) games are in subfolders. Very possible all subsequent systems (which would be PC, PSX, and SNES) are affected.

@fieldofcows Now i remember when ES was crashing for me when I had a subfolder for unlicensed games in my megadrive roms folder. Do you remember that?

It was crashing with lvl1: OptionListComponent too narrow! in the log file on windows...

Thanks for the kick fix, i already applied to the build i'm using for windows from your old fork.

Really guys you are the best.
