Do you think the plugin setup form is too complicated?
Any hints of how to simplify are welcome!

I think the setup form gives you an maximum of options to get your application running.

But, how about predefining a couple of profiles like mame32, n64 etc. Sure the path to the app. has to be adapted (if you don´t program your plugin to look for the location - Only joking, there are more important things you could do for mp)
Sorry if you allready mentioned that, i haven´t re-read all previous posts (too late, too lazy)

Hey Lady_Sapphire
(was offline for some days, sorry for the delay!).

This usually happens when you do not set a STARTING DIRECTORY.
Please verify if this directory points to the GENS-location.

You can have a look at my working setting screen here:

Hope that helps!

yes.. why not?! How about adding screen shots to the wiki page instead of simply listing the options? Not good enough??
The problem is that only some few parameters are really fixed to the emulator, and the other have to be set manually anyway...

Ok I found the issue, was my own dumb fault, I did not have the latest version I was on 2.10 not 2.11. Changed the file and it worked!, Thanks for the help

When I make a .lnk it works, but it would be nice to make a direct connection to any program.

Thanks for the good work!

Niclas,

Hi! I can't get .exe-file launch running, I get this error:
2005-02-15 14:18:02 myPrograms: starting process: program
filename: C:\Program
arguments: Files\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP Pro\cftppro.exe

The problem is that the name to your cuteFTP application is not protected by quotes!
I guess you entered the path like this:
C:\Program Files\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP Pro\cftppro.exe

Try to enclose it in quotes
"C:\Program Files\GlobalSCAPE\CuteFTP Pro\cftppro.exe"

and recheck (you can click the LAUNCH button in configuration for quicker testing).

Hope that helps!

It helped fine! Thanks. Try to fix it, it is not windows compliant behaviour.

I think I already tried it before, but since I am running 800*600 I did not see the Ok/cancel buttons, so I thought it had the same behaviour as the MyProgram setup (all changes are directly applied).

Another idea is to grey out fields that should not be used for certain setups, to make setup easier to understand, it's kind of tricky now.

Still, thanks for the good function! /Niclas

Yeah, I will try to detect when spaces have to be added so the user don't have to bother with this.

btw: if you look at a LNK-file linking to cuteFTP, the filename will appear exactly the same way (with quotes), so it's close to windows compliant behaviour .
But I agree it's too much hassle and can be improved!

Some examples (and I will probably add this to wiki):
Let's say you want to launch a "test.html" file with iexplore.exe:

1) working (assuming iexplore.exe is in the mentioned dir):
"c:\program files\blabla\iexplore.exe" test.html
c:\Programme\blabla\iexplore.exe test.html

2) not working:
c:\program files\blabla\iexplore.exe test.html
"c:\Programme\blabla\iexplore.exe" test.html

Another idea is to grey out fields that should not be used for certain setups, to make setup easier to understand, it's kind of tricky now.

Well I tried hard to simplify with creating pages
for every kind of setup (in the last update).
Still can be improved of course, do you have detailed suggestions?

Thanks,
Daniel
