sgt puzzles appear both individually and as a folder
« on: May 30, 2024, 03:21:12 PM »
Not sure if this is intentional, but in the latest dev version if I look at the plugins/games I see all the sgt- titles listed in the top-level list, but also the sgt-puzzles folder, with the same plug-ins listed inside it.  Not really a problem, but is this a concequence of this patch

https://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/c/rockbox/+/5683

and if so, is this intended behaviour?

This feels like some of them could be from an earlier version?

Yeah, quite possibly.  Not sure how it works when you upgrade RB versions - just overwrote the original .rockbox folder with the new one.  Now I think about it, I guess that means it keeps files that aren't present at all in the later version, which presumably is what happened here?

That's what I'm thinking, yes. You could check file modification timestamps to make sure

I'm certain that's what you are seeing there, depending on what version you had previously they probably won't run

I thought about making a one time run plugin to update folders and such  but haven't gotten around to it yet

Yeah, I'm sure that's the issue.  I just realised why I don't delete the .rockbox folder and then replace it - it's to avoid deleting all the added themes, fonts, and conflig files and such, when updating RB.

If I want to remove the spurious plug-in list entries (without breaking anything), what files do I have to manually delete?

I'd just wipe out the rocks directory although there could be game save data in there too so just delete the sgt_ files in the root of rocks/games
