[QUOTE="waeberd, post: 4881, member: 10343"] Hello, This is explained here: [url]http://www.maisenbachers.de/dokuw/plugins:myprograms#6[/url] When defining an application item, you have to set a SOURCETYPE. This setting defines how MP looks for the fileitems that can be launched. Valid values are: * Directory Browse * MLF File-Import * MY File-Import * Filelaunch mode Now if you use the "Directory Browse" mode, MP simply displays the content of a directory (filtered by the "valid extensions" setting). The items are just filenames, so there is no way of knowing something else about this file (this mode is for backwards compatibility to myPrograms 0.1 and is also the slowest mode of all). The other three modes have prepared fileitems [i]in the database[/i]. For each fileitem, it is possible to have additional information like "manufacturer", "screenshots" or "overview"... myPrograms gets these information either by an external file (MLF / MY file, mainly for emulator information from the myGames utility) or from manually entered data (in the filelaunch mode). I bet you use the "directory browse" mode, which is some kind of dead-end... ... and there will be probably one more mode in the future ("DIRECTORY CACHING", where a refresh routine searches matching fileitems and stores them in the database....). See the wiki documentation for details! Hope that makes sense... Just tell me if you are missing some functionality... I am planning to do some views like * TOP RATED items * MOST LAUNCHED items * MOST RECENTLY LAUNCHED items and maybe a FAVOURITES-feature where you can group some files into a specific view (3500 mame games are way toooo much to fit a tv screen :-) ).
