HD Images doesn't show up #495

Open reignerdeustcher opened 2 months ago

reignerdeustcher commented 2 months ago

I've created an hd image for the game Enemy Infestation in the system folder of retroarch for run with my installed windows 98 but the image doesn't appear to select in the list with the others.

You can see in the screen all the other images that i've created previously for other games but now it doesn't work anymore, at the bottom says: ''to refresh: Audio options/Midi output/Scan system directory'' but this doesn't make any sense...

Normally DOSBox Pure checks the system folder on every startup (for sound fonts and OS images). But if the reading of that system folder takes a long time, it will instead save a index file called "DOSBoxPureMidiCache.txt" into the system folder. Once the index file exists it will no longer scan the entire folder but instead use the file. And to rebuild the index you need to initiate a refresh with the "Scan system directory" setting. It was originally only used for soundfonts so that's why it is under the "Audio Options".

It probably would be better if there was a "Refresh" option in the list of operating system disk images. I'll see if that can be added.
