hi,
Jaylinx brought this to my attention. If you have a sub-folder named snap inside the snap folder, MAME UI will load images. Using MAME v0.176.
snap\snap\88games.png
snap\88games.png (shouldn't this be the only valid path ?)
note that you only have snap defined in snapshot_directory entry (mame.ini).
Is this an intended behavior or it's a bug ?
On a side note, if you rename that sub-folder to anything else it doesn't work:
snap\snapieshotty\88games.png (MAME UI can't find the image)
I tested with other image categories and they don't do this. All these images do not load
cabinets\cabinets\88games.png
flyers\flyers\88games.png
title\title\88games.png
but they load fine if you use:
cabinets\88games.png
flyers\88games.png
title\88games.png
I hope this is a bug because having a snap sub-folder inside the snap folder to place your image files is kinda counter-productive and confusing... since MAME doesn't do recursive folder scanning.
Thanks for listening.
