General / Filters Not Showing Up
« on: March 09, 2015, 04:50:47 AM »
On Linux Mint 17.1, 64-bit, AttractMode 1.5.1:

I've not been successful with my filters showing up (MAME in this case, the only one I've tested so far). Whenever I press the next or previous filters assigned keys the games list is empty. Bringing up the Filters Menu only displays "All" and "Favourites".

I suspect I'm the issue here with a typo or something. ;-)

The categories are showing up correctly when I use the "machines" display (which looks really, really good btw).

My mame.cfg has this line:

import_extras        $HOME/Desktop/AttractMode/EmulatorsData/mame/catver/catver.ini;$HOME/Desktop/AttractMode/EmulatorsData/mame/catver/filters.ini

My filters.ini looks like this:

filter "Justin Test Filter"
  rule   Title not_contains bootleg|prototype|Sports|Trivia|Quiz|Mahjong
  rule   Year not_contains ?
  rule   Manufacturer not_contains bootleg
  rule   Category not_contains Mature|Quiz|Sports|Mahjong|Casino
  rule   Players equals 1|2
  rule   Control contains joystick
  rule   Control contains 2-way|4-way|8-way
  rule   Status equals good|imperfect
  rule   DisplayCount equals 1
filter "Justin Favourite Games"
  rule   Favourite equals 1

After adding all of these changes and then running the "Generate Collection/Rom list" option in the Emulators MAME section I'm still not seeing my filter appear.

Do I also need to add brackets around the 'filter "Name Of Filter Here"' section?

Any ideas or suggestions on what to check? Thanks in advance.
