Update

I have changed the menu bar around a bit.
Took out the pulldown box and added each emulator to the menu.
I think I like the look better.
Here is a screenshot:
















The box in the lower right corner displays information when the test button is pressed.
I added that to help me in troubleshooting. Havent decided yet whether or not to leave it.

New screenshot, progress update

I have done some work on the "test with different emulator" function. Here is a screenshot:













I have also been working on the "add a new rom" function. (Screen shot later).
I also added the ability to use the rom's extension or not when testing a rom.

Rom's extension is derived by GLManager from the glaunch emulator config file.
I will probably have to ask user input if the rom extension is not listed in the config file.
Here is the line in the config file that identifies the rom's extension:
rom_extension =
If this line in the config file is set to "yes", such as this:
use_rom_file = yes
Then the rom_extension = line can be left blank.
So if it is blank, the user will have to input the extension manually.
The extension will be needed later to move or copy roms between emulators. So this information is necessary for GLManager.
I am thinking of storing this info in the emulator config file itself, so user will only have to input the info once per emulator.

Progress update

I have been doing a lot of work on the GLaunch Manager project.
It gets tricky when building a utility program to be used with GLaunch.
GLaunch is very picky.
