Request: Run External Programs

[mbirkes]

Tom,

This could be a feature request or just a "bug" fix.

It would be nice to launch external programs from within gameex that would display over top. The reason I make this suggestion is that I often would like run File Explorer to browse and modify rom config files, copying default control setting, and such while I'm using your FE. Previously I would have to close and reopen Gameex anytime I needed to do that, and then I thought the new non-full screen feature of gameex would suit my needs. However, when I run gameex in a window, it "stays on top" of other applications and it does not let me drag it off screen either, preventing visual access to other running apps. So maybe it could just be a fix to not stay on top when running as a window. It is somewhat time consuming and annoying to have to close and reopen Gameex everytime i need an external windows function.

If there is already a way to do this, or some setting I am missing, please let me know.

May i also make a suggestion: It might be nice to have separate forums for Feature Requests and/or Bug Reports. Or do you already have another process for this?

Thanks,

Mace

Hi,

I think its more a bug for me to sort out, I am aware of it, I found it a bit of pain too.

I think I may split up the forums, good point. I was not expecting it too be quite so busy as it is. It seems to be much more active than the Yahoo group was, and that's what I was basing it on when just setting up one forum.

I'll see how it goes.
