title says it all

I would like to have the lists unique for each system. ie have a favorite list but only have it for that particular system. now lists are shown under all systems.

Thanks for the quick reply, I would think this would be fairly easy to implement, how do I request this feature. I think I asked this same question a few years back. I don't really see the purpose of having systems and lists, they are basically the same thing (just xml files under the database dir. I think others might want to have a favorites list under each system for instance. Thanks Just thinking if there is a way I can call a ahk script every time I choose a system and it can move list.xml files to basically do what I want. Not sure If I can do this without choosing a table and I know there is a way to pre and post launch sendkeys in the xml for each game, wondering if there is something like that for a system. The pre and post launch get executed when? This will work fine if it gets run when I choose a system. I will test this now. Thanks again I just want to a favorite list under each system, and only show that favorite list when I'm under that system (there is a limit of how many lists are show, so that is the reason) Thanks Mike for all your tables/help in this community, your awesome!

I thought having an xml file under databases/system name/whatever.xml would only show up under lists if I was viewing "system name" and then show lists. I now see the same list under every system

Thanks, that was it! Funny I thought that a while ago, but I thought I had disproven that. I guess my memory is completely shot. Thanks again

See image as no VPX Favs shows up on list. I have also tried renaming to VP10 Favs, no luck, but SDS Favs works fine, strange.

I have a program that I wrote that manages my Visual/future/etc pinball tables. One of the features is to generate a xml file(s) for PinballX front end. I have a system called Visual Pinball 10 in PinballX, so I have a directory called Databases/Visual Pinball 10. In that I have a bunch of files to help organize my tables. I tried to have one named "VPX Pinup.xml", but that will not show up under lists. If I rename it to "Pinup.xml" it shows up. Any ideas?

Has anyone gotten PinballX to run correctly with the VR version of VPX? I can get it to run 1 table without issues, but then I have all sorts of troubles after I quit. Wondering if its my setup or something else. Thanks I'm also having trouble with focus not going to vpinballx_gl.exe after launching from pinballx, an ideas?

great support tom, you are the best! Hope you guys get this fixed

I really like your ideas draco, I have written an AHK script to display my high scores on my topper along with displaying instruction cards & flyers (soon). My reasoning for doing this was that instruciton card and flyers should be installed under media/system in which it belongs instead of just under media. I understand why it was done that way, but storage is too cheap not to be more organized nowadays. I also did away with the Front/Back/Inside/etc folders and just went with table name, table name _1, table name _2, etc for naming of flyers. So much easier to find badly named files. Hope someday PinballX can do this also. Will post a video of my cab if anyone want to see it in action. Still to do is tutorial videos, jumping to IPDB web page for specific table. I asked if it was possible to grab joy buttons with a plugin to do all these things, but didn't get a response yet so I went the AHK route. Works suprisingly well.

Can a plugin be written to capture a joystick button and do something like display message when button is hit? Thanks

Can you post another video of this in action. I'm getting a 404. I think I want something very similar to this for a new project. Thanks
