Title: How to determin if the current game is a member of a tag group?
Post by: millercentral on April 17, 2015, 11:05:43 PM

Can anyone suggest a way to tell in a layout.nut or plug-in if the currently selected item in a romlist has been tagged (for example as a favorite, or with a custom tag)? I can't seem to figure out how to do this...

Hey there, to get an array of the tags for the current selection, do something like:

Code: [Select]

local tags = split( fe.game_info( Info.Tags ), ";" );

to check if a game is a favourite, you can use:

Code: [Select]

if ( fe.game_info( Info.Favourite ) == "1" )
{
   // ...
}

cheers
