[QUOTE="waeberd, post: 2686, member: 10343"] Hi, one improvment in MyPrograms that would be great IMHO: In the file list, it would be great to be able to separate the [i]displayed itemname[/i] from the [i]filename[/i]!! Example in MAME: The files are ZIPs that contain all the needed ROM dumps for one game. The name of the zip archive is not very self-explanatory, but it is used in MAME as an identifier and cannot be changed. MAME handles those roms and attaches info to it. Of course this is mame-specific stuff, but it would be cool to have file-independent attributes like [b]TITLE DESCRIPTION[/b] etc. in the database! These additional attributes should be generic enough that they can be used for every MyProgram-item! To get an idea, maybe have a look at myGames (a utility that generates one special myHTPC module out of a specific rom-list) here: [url]http://www.getmygames.com/[/url] This tool has some minor glitches (though I didn't check out the latest version), but it works fine has some very cool ideas... Maybe it would be possible to import data from a "*.my" file into the MP database? Did anybody already have a look at this? If not I will :-)! If yes I'd be happy to hear experiences... Any comments?
