I would actually prefer a forum section devoted to layouts over the wiki, then you could have a thread per layout and it would be easier to share improvements, feedback etc I don't know if that is considered a little overkill but that's my five cents!

General / History.dat support

Hi! Are there any plans for History.dat support? If not I'm looking into making a plugin that reads and parses it, but just wanted to make sure before I start working on it

Scripting / Retrieving path to artwork folder

« on: October 16, 2014, 12:05:41 AM »

Hi! I'm currently working on a theme, and i've implemented so it checks if a game's image exist, and if it doesn't it substitutes it with a Text object with the games title instead (Kind of how Hyperspin does it) using Squirrel's fopen function. This works really well the only problem is that I can't figure out a way to actually get the configured artwork path, so right now I have to have a separate Layout Option where the user specifies the artwork path which works but is not ideal, since the user now has to specify it in two separate places, also this probably won't work with multiple emulators that has different artwork paths

Is there a way to get the path to an artwork from the configuration, without having to manually parse and search the config files?
