HyperSearch

[FrankyRizzo]

The biggest feature that I have been looking for is the ability to have an alternate path for wheel art.  Right now it defaults to the system wheelart folders.  However on my layout I use boxart as wheelart. Box arts don't look right in hypersearch because of the dimensions.  If it was possible to change the path or make it look for a folder other than wheelart it would be a huge help for me.

Sounds to me pietie adds an alternate path to wheel art and a hotkey to go back a screen we have a perfect app again. This simply is the best news today!

Man that's sick! I love what you made here and would love to add it to my set up! Don't forget to upload it to the download page! (Tapatalk signature)

im not sure how u have all of your buttons mapped... But for me Escape goes back a screen. 

[ninja2bceen]

Esc is one of my major shut downs in systems for hyperlaunch. It would be complete to allow for custom back button

Thanks for fixing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This was the whole reason I never updated HS or RL.  Now I am all up to date.  You rock!  Thanks Petie!

That changes the system image path for the system name icons. Not for the wheelart.

[FrankyRizzo]

pressing ctrl + enter is the same as using the mouse to click the enter button on the virtual keyboard if that is what u mean.

[paulmichel21]

You mean this option in the config??

<!--AlternativeSystemWheelImagePath: If not specified, uses \Hyperspin\Media\Main Menu\Images\Wheel by default -->

<!--<add key="AlternativeSystemWheelImagePath" value="C:\SystemWheelImages"/>-->

Can you explain me please how to use this function? I canot understand what do you mean wheel by default... i confused

[FrankyRizzo]

just remove the <!-- from the beginning and end and put your path in.

 

This will allow u to use custom system images instead of using your default ones.....  What I am talking about is right now hypersearch can display game names in text... or the logos from your wheelart folder.

 

I would love to get a custom path for wheelart... because i use boxart instead of logos.,

Can you explain to me how that works in HyperSpin? Basically I would like to use the HyperSpin config if possible.

 

Is this what those Artwork folders are for? I did some tests on only Artwork3 seems to show up. Are you images stored there or somewhere else completely?

[ninja2bceen]

Sounds like somewhere else completely.... Pietie this is a masterpiece. Only gripe I think is its missing a back button hotkey

Thanks again

Well artwork 1 through 4 and wheel art is all being used for my theme. I was hoping it would be possible to have a folder in each system directory called hypersearch... or wheelart2 that would display the art inages.

[FrankyRizzo]

So for my purpose each system would have artwork 1, 2, 3, 4, wheelart, then wheelart2 or hypersearch.... which is where I would put the hypersearch wheelart. The folder would still be in the same directory.

It's always had that...it uses your HS config, in the order of P1 Exit, P2 Exit and a fallback of BACKSPACE.

 

So what do you use in HS to go "back" ??

[ninja2bceen]

0 but that just types in the letter at the search. I have to frantically press right click or esc for it to go back and double click esc or right click to close it. Minimize hotkey amazingly fixes my issue. I have all my systems including hyperspin on the h,7,9,0 button keys

[pietie]

Hmm...well 0 is part of the onscreen keyboard. Do you use the P2 Back key in HS...otherwise try binding that

Okay..download from here again https://www.dropbox.com/s/23vwnenacrmanpq/HyperSearch.7z?dl=0

 

<add key="AlternativeGameWheelSourceFolder" value="HyperSearch"/>

 

Will use images from C:\Hyperspin\Media\MAME\Images\HyperSearch for example. Is this what you meant?

[ninja2bceen]

It may make more sense for it to be media/hypersearch or does this mean you could have hypersearch folder under the image folder under any system, not just mame?

Player two is set to the standard a,s,w,r. I'd have the same issue

[pietie]

Separate folder for each system

[ninja2bceen]

That's pretty much amazing! So no hope in a back button or hotkey to go back a screen?

This app is so great, it's almost silly I haven't yet tried the new version, but I was thinking about something that would be very useful to me. Would it be possible to make the "back" button work as the "minimize" button if you back all the way out of the app? If anyone would still want it to close when doing that, maby it could be possible to change between the two options in the settings. I have noticed before that sometimes the trigger key does nothing after opening and closing the search window a few times. Maby this would fix that. Thanks.

 

Edit: I just realized that I didn't have the latest version Before this new update, so I'm not sure about the status of the trigger key issue now. I'm gonna test the latest version.

[Dime333]

Double post. 

[ninja2bceen]

In actuality for me there isn't a reason to ever close it, it closes with hyperspin. The use case that I have is if you search for something, then need to research things, I want to got back to the main keyboard page easily. If I give up on a search and don't find anything I just ant to hide it to go back to it later since I load this app up with hyperspin with ghutchs startup script. Even if the minimize hotkey by default moved the app back to the keyboard when you reopen it would be so much smoother. Yes this app is stupid amazing. It really should be baked in hyperspin and is one of the single most reasons I haven't updated to rl. I too havnt tested yet

Apparently there is a new version of startup script and hyper search that work with RL. Unfortunately Hyperspeech is still broken.
