I have deleted all the "--silent" from layout.nut and nothing new happens

I have found an issue: when using "curl" in Windows the output is very different than on Unix systems and options are different too...

Try substituting "--output" in the layout.nut with "-o" that should make it work (I hope)

No, sorry:

No, sorry:

I just noticed your shell window is from windows 7/vista, not win10. I think curl is not pre-installed on early versions of windows and that might explain ehi it doesn’t work :O I think you can install curl manually but I’m not sure if the current command line will work. I’ll also check if I can package curl with the new revision but I had issues with that

[Jate]

Yes, I use windows 7.
I don't know how Curl works, so I'll update arcadeflow manually.

Well this is the last resort: you can download curl.exe from here: http://www.mixandmatch.it/AF/tools/curl.exe and place it in your Arcadeflow folder. This should work with the layout command line, hopefully.

This is the expected behavior, you need to define some "static" artwork for the other games, either you add static snaps to your "snaps" category, or "titles" artwork or "flyer" artwork. The theme will use snaps by default, but you can set in the options to use titles artwork. Or you can se the "boxart mode" in the options to use flyers and box art instead of game snapshots.

Arcadeflow 8.8 is out!

Hope you like it, it's faster, more stable, with better LCD effects and some new options. Also, CURL.EXE is included in the archive to allow windows users to enjoy automatic updates without issues (hopefully!).
Since I completely rewrite the sorting routines and list management routines, fixing issues with favourites etc, please tell me if something is not working as expected!

Oh, one last thing (LOL): you can now hide games that you don't want to see in your list!

Always amazing work. I'll try the new version as soon as the error on website disappears when trying to download v.8.8.

  My bad, I put the archive in the wrong folder... should be ok now

[Enkak]

Download working good now.

Hi Paolo,
sorry for not answering earlier.

It doesn't work with the curl.exe file in Arcadeflow:



but I have done it manually from the command line and it works fine:



The problem must be running the command with curl.exe.

The problem must be running the command with curl.exe.

I see, sadly I can't do tests on Windows 7, I only have Win 10 on my PCs... I think the issue now is the path: in Win 10 if curl.exe is in the Arcadeflow directory it gets launched even if I don't explicitly put the whole path. In Win 7 probably it needs the whole path in the command line I tried in the past but that gave me issues with some characters in the path. BTW I'll see what can be done.
Other than that, did you manage to install 8.8? Any issue with that?
