How to add a new category for games. about lauhdutin HOT 8 CLOSED

Try setting the Python path setting in the skin to python to show the terminal. That should hopefully give you a bit more info on what is going wrong on the Python side of things.

If I do that without undo all the changes I made it only close right after opening.
Well, I will research to see if I can get it to work. Thanks for the fast answer.

Are you sure that your modifications do not contain any invalid Python code? Sounds like the Python interpreter might be failing to parse your code. The backend scripts are set up to execute in a way that catches most runtime exceptions and shows the stack traceback rather than just close the terminal immediately. I think invalid Python code would be one of the few things to not be caught by that setup.

By the way, I'm wondering if it would be more appropriate to just modify WindowsShortcuts.py to support subfolders. So e.g. shortcuts placed in \Lauhdutin\@Resources\Shortcuts\Origin would show up as being from the Origin platform. My reasoning is that:

1. This would implement the ability to show a specific platform for an arbitrary number of possible values (Origin, Uplay, Itch.io, etc.). So no need to add a slightly modified copy of WindowsShortcuts.py for every platform.
2. This would maintain consistency in terms of what needs to be done by the user. Properly supported platforms (e.g. Steam) have their games acquired in an automated fashion based upon one or more settings whereas in this case Windows shortcuts (and corresponding banners) have to be manually added by the user.

A new key-value pair could be added to the GameKeys enum and GAME_KEYS table on the Python and Lua parts of the skin, respectively. A new filter along the lines of shortcuts: followed by the subfolder name (e.g. shortcuts:origin) could be added.

What do you think?

Probably is that, I am not much versed on python to be honest.

Sounds good, I think you are right, your way is much better than mine!

I'll start working on that then.

Thanks you so much, I tried it but I can't make it to work.

Support has been added for one level of subfolders and the new-filter-tag branch has also been merged into next-version, which is where the development of version 2.7.0 will continue. The new-filter-tag branch will be deleted as soon as any pending pull requests have been resolved.
