New Internal MAME UI questions/issues/suggestions.

These are very nice additions IMO. Multi-level filtering through the custom filter is cool so I can get originals + working.
1. Noticed an issue though w/ the old MESS items, it's defaulting to cabinet view for them instead of snapshot view when you launch a new instance and scroll through them.
2. Also might it be desirable to re-use the parent icon if the clone icon is not present.. same thing for not working, perhaps allow a 'nonworking.ico' if present in the \icons path to be used.
3. How is the unavailable filter being handled? Is there an audit of some sort happening? The entries I see in here aren't reflective of my collection.
Good work -

I thought an unavailable folder was not allowed. It was removed form MAMEUI at MAME Dev request a LONG time ago.

Then let's add the UNAVAILABLE folder back in MAMEUI.

I always found it a bit silly that it was removed myself.
It wasn't telling you to download the games, simply that MAME could emulate those things if you had them.
Since we dropped the legal disclaimer screen anyway (due to vastly increased number of legal uses) I don't really see the point in continuing to hide the unavailable folder for the same reasons.

Well, the website hasn't been changed yet.

I had a patch to define it at the top of the file. I didn't realize you changed this. I ended up with it defined twice. Thanks for pointing it out.
BTW, is the new (internal) UI going to build OK with the MAMEUI source?

Would request a 'favorites' importer, a lot of times a favorite.ini is implemented w/ one set per line:
dkong
pacman
frogger
etc.
Would be nice to be able to just drop that in to the new \ui\favorites.ini and have it parse it and manipulate it for its use. Would save some time from manually adding hundreds of favorites.

Summary: Software list filter not retained upon leaving game.
1. Launch mame.exe
2. Go to Atari 2600 and enter.
3. See softlist.
4. Filter by originals.
5. Launch 'Combat' / Exit
6. Upon exit to software list, filter is not retained, now showing all items.

For favorites, if the file is in the ini folder, it displays through the Category filter.
Regarding the filter that is not preserved, I will commit the fix as soon as possible. Thanks.

Got it, now I see how it's working. Uses our old Mame32 style favorites [block] conventions so you can have subsections in the file.
Congrats again on the UI, the more I use it the more I like it.

Is there a way to get the favorites section to sort alphabetically? It appears to be listing based on the order you add the games to the favorites.
