Sort by console type #262

Closed SupahDave closed 7 years ago

SupahDave commented 7 years ago

Can you add the ability to sort the games list by console or just have dividers to indicate the different ROMs?

baconcow commented 7 years ago

Just thought I would link my issue, for notification purposes, as it is asking for something similar (indication of console, in the games list).

This was posted as a Pull request with a couple other nice features: https://github.com/ClusterM/hakchi2/pull/199

I'm hoping it gets added in a future release.

baconcow commented 7 years ago

I think I remember elierodrigue mentioning that they were going to make some changes again.

KMFDManic commented 7 years ago

I actually addressed this issue since the advent introduction of RetroArch. I added a preface (in hakchi2 gui, itseld) to each game name, to classify its game type. Examples...

2600: Asteroids 7800: Pole Position II ARC: Michael Jackson's Moonwalker GB: Super Mario Land MD: Altered Beast NES: Blaster Master PCE: Legendary Axe SMS: Alex Kidd in Miracle World SNES: Super Mario Kart

You get the idea. It takes 20-45 min to do this to an entire set. Copy and past NES: with a space, etc. Directly before each game name. Close and reopen hakchi2 sporadically to see new highly arranged ordering. It looks fantastic and is very manageable.

SupahDave commented 7 years ago

Yeah, KMFDManic, that's not what I'm looking for but thanks for your contribution. Some of us already have thousands of mixed roms loaded into Hakchi that weren't labeled in that way so that would take days, not 20-45 minutes, to go through and decipher it when it would probably be easy to add a couple lines of code to do it automatically and actually have it sectioned off

SupahDave commented 7 years ago

baconcow, your idea would work very well also. I like the idea of merging the folder window with the main window

KMFDManic commented 7 years ago

Haha, took 45 minutes for me to do 1700 games. It is, at least, a working solution til hakchi2 has ig as an option.

This issue can also be easily solved by using a ListView form with multiple columns instead of CheckedListBox form, for the game list. This would allow multiple columns of data (i.e. Console, Emulator) that could be used for easy sorting. Unfortunately, as evident by my previous code submissions not being used, I am not the best coder and would likely butcher any attempt at adding it myself.

Very good point, baconcow! I'm sure that would be even easier to implement and would do the trick.

It's planned.

Thanks, Cluster!
