[Bug 1556275] Re: Some search paths are wrong
Edit: I think that it could make sense to add these resource paths also additionally to the search paths so that the user can for example put roms into "$HOME/mame/roms" and "$HOME/.mame/roms". That would be useful if the user displays hidden directories at default and wants to keep out of the box all in one directory. ** Summary changed: - Some search paths are wrong + Extending the search paths ** Changed in: mame (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556275 Title: Extending the search paths To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mame/+bug/1556275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

> For resource files (roms, samples etc.) a subdirectory is more appropriate. I think you meant a non-hidden directory as a subdirectory could also take place in "$HOME/.mame". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556275 Title: Some search paths are wrong To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mame/+bug/1556275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is by design: hidden directory like .mame are for configuration and run-time data purposes. For resource files (roms, samples etc.) a subdirectory is more appropriate. ** Changed in: mame (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Cesare Falco (c.falco) ** Changed in: mame (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556275 Title: Some search paths are wrong To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mame/+bug/1556275/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
