Re: Information/Preview Pane questions/issue

I meant A/ show the "missing artwork" image.
Switching automatically back and forth between the multiview and the selected artwork would be confusing for anybody but you and me. So, I'll stay with A.

Re: Information/Preview Pane questions/issue

1. It's not by design. I never thought it would be used like that. But this won't be hard to be fixed ;) If the selected artwork is missing, I'll put the default artwork. 2. Sure, can do. 3. I can add the option to disable tabs easily. As for the individual preview items, it's more complicated. See ...

Re: Negatron.ini is missing - Error

I see, so it's just you getting around the inner working of MAME. Well, it's really not a common use case so I won't fix this.
Chdman.exe is really the main tool to know about as soon as you start playing around with softlist, HDD and CD images. Enjoy your programming discoveries!

Re: Negatron.ini is missing - Error

Indeed, you don't need to install Java 11 or 14 with the Windows pack. You can keep your system-wide Java 8, Negatron simply uses its embedded version of Java 14. It doesn't work at restart because the entry chdman (6th line in negatron.ini) is empty, probably because Negatron couldn't find it autom...

Re: Warning: Unable to create history.db

This is an error output by MAME, not by Negatron, as history.db is a MAME file. It's just my guess but MAME is surely trying to create it within a folder where it doesn't have the writing rights. Just go to your ui.ini, probably in ~/.mame, and change the entry "historypath" to a different...

Re: Eternal Loading

If you can't get your machine back to normal even after deactivating all the options or uninstalling Media Preview and then rebooting your machine, this means something else is slowing down your computer. I can't help you any further here as I don't know what else you installed on your machine. I'm ...

And I found the culprit!
It's fixed locally so the next version of Negatron will fix this issue. Cheers!

Re: XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed error

I think I'll go for fix 2/. It shouldn't be as complex as I expected.

On Windows and macOS, vlcj doesn't spawn any AWT threads and it shouldn't do so because Negatron embeds everything into OpenJFX. This is only done on Linux for some weird reasons. I'll go hunt and eradicate this.

Re: XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed error

I finally understand what's happening. And it's indeed related to GTK3/GDK3. Negatron uses OpenJFX as its main graphical library. And OpenJFX 11+ has migrated from GTK2 to GTK3 but, with GTK3, a lot of Linux distros have changed the graphical backend from X11 to Wayland. So, OpenJFX 11 couldn't work...

Re: XSetErrorHandler() called with a GDK error trap pushed error

I'm on Fedora 31 and it was working fine as I never installed openjdk 11 before on my machine. I had Java 8, 13 and 14 installed. But as soon as I installed Java 11, I got the same bug as you. And now even after removing Java 11, the bug remains with Java 13 and 14... probably due to some config lef...
