@mikedaspike @scutters I’ve been meaning to thank you guys for this awesome app, it’s been working great! I started using it a while back when you linked to v1.0.0.0 over at VPF, have not had any issues. Is there a change log for v1.2? To update would I simply choose to override the existing files?

Changelog is at the bottom of the page on gameex when you follow the download link. Main changes for V1.2 were the online media downloads from gameex FTP or from mega links. And yes, to update just copy the files over the top and replace any that already exist.You need to login in order to like this post: click here

2020-04-09 09:49:49 : ERROR: ShowingIniComboBox La source ne contient aucun DataRow.if it try to open the database thru the normal game manager of pinballx, all seem to work as usual.
after the error, i can close pinballx database manager only with a forced close
it’s like the software cannot find now the visual pinball database (or read the path)
edit: even if i try to restore the visual pinball.xml database or pinballx.ini config from before the first use of pinballx database manager, the result is the same
hint : i use version 4.13 of pinballX, i try to reinstall pinballx and pinballx database manager , same error

Can you sent all your database files to us, so we can simulate the issue ?
It looks like the select box is empty for some reason (and according to the log it is just filled)

ok so you need only the “visual pinball.xml” ? this is it

Hi @vothar, a zip of your entire pinballx databases folder and a copy of your pinballx.ini file will probably be more useful, thanks.
Can you also confirm if you have ‘Hide disabled datavases’ and/or ‘Hide custom databases’ checked?

OK :PROBLEM SOLVED.
the ‘hidden disabled databse’ was checked … i remove the check, crash, relaunch and all is back on the rail now. !

@vothar
Scutters and I worked a lot of hours to get your issue fixed.
We also added some extra features in it…..
The version is now at our Beta testers and if they approve it, I will update it.
Thanks for your feedback and have a nice Easter allYou need to login in order to like this post: click here
@mikedaspike This is a great app, makes media management so much easier. Would it be possible to add a feature to filter by machine type, either em or ss etc in a future release? I like to add the manufacturer logo to my dmd on EM machines to fill the empty space. Thanks again for this great utility.

In the next release the filter will also search the “Type” field.
Be aware That all fields are searched and only 2 characters can also give a result from another field.
I tried i ton my VPX database file(contains total of 812 entries) and filtering on EM gave me 308 tables back, where just around 20 where not EM tables (but table name, authors or filename contains EM)You need to login in order to like this post: click here

Great software! One question… I prefer my media files to be named the same as the “Display Name”, not named as the “Table Name”. Is there a way to change the media file naming to use the “Display Name”?

No sorry.
This is because 2 reasons:
- File names (table names) are unique (and description could be the same)
- We support unicode as in descrption, and file system has issues with some unicode characters.
It took @Scutters a long time to convince me too, to use filenames instead of description names.

@ashleyb Starting from release 1.5, we implemented an advanced search option. Now you can search specifically on every field. Even for blanks.We hope you like this feature
