folder path work for you?Edit
, which probably opens the default application you have set; for more it opens the bk2 in 7-zip which means I can just edit it.Movies
path really wouldn't. Because each movie is in a game-specific directory as I described. (I don't deny that this might just be a personal issue with my workflow being incompatible with the general workflow BizHawk was designed for)Make sure to test on a dev build that includes https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/commit/fe845ce8efae8fa3b11d04079d3ae20ec844ea8a
re: 2) a path system redesign would benefit you then?
I'll be sure to test using a dev build that includes fe845ce. As for 2), maybe? Hm. I'm a bit sleep-deprived and don't currently have full capacity brain power to think through that right now, but that could actually benefit me in general if I normalized my own directories a bit more. I also store Lua scripts and notes near the movie file, though I'm a bit inconsistent on the exact directory structures. To be honest, I was considering consolidating Lua scripts though so they could be redistributed in a more sensible way.
Okay, I re-tested the Play Movie slowness. Looks like that was fixed sometime between 2.8 and 2.9.1.
Hey look what I found :P #2198

Yep, I linked that in the original post a few days ago. 😄
Edit: Oh, it was originally titled 'The Play Movie dialog is slow'... I've been a bit bad about accidentally repeating my own issues recently, though it's usually been with different details. This one does have some different details. Oh, and I mentioned the double-loading issue that @Morilli recently fixed.
I was just talking about this in Discord, and I realized I don't really use the 'Play Movie' dialogue anymore, and I haven't used in the last few months when I've been using BizHawk fairly regularly. There are a few reasons for this (maybe some of these could be split into separate issues).
Movies > Recent
? Or perhaps there's another solution for either my workflow or Play Movie UI?.bk2
files, it's annoying to edit basic movie metadata. TAStudio hasMetadata > Header...
, but for.bk2
s, I generally just resort to extracting their contents and editing them manually. Play movie already displays basic metadata, so it could potentially allow editing basic movie metadata like authors, although I don't entirely like that solution from a UI perspective.Edit
