Visual Pinball Enabled=False

You don't need files. You cannot disable a system. It only disables the other databases for the system.

If the system is Visual Pinball (or any other) and you have 5 databases, including one named Visual Pinball.xml, it only disables the 4 other xmls, but leaves Visual Pinball.xml and still shows up.

I personally don't run those systems, but Tom will probably like to see your log.txt files and more supporting info. Otherwise it sounds more like a feature request to imporve on a limitation rather than a bug.

If I am following you correctly (which I may not), you are loading multiple database xmls through one integrated option (Pinball FX2 or Visual Pinball) but looking for a way to disable them from loading when the specific system is disabled.

If that is correct, PinballX is looking at the name of the .xml that matches the system name and is properly disabling that file from being scanned but continues to read those databases where the name does not match. Is that about right?

I see what you are saying. If you don't mind my asking as I am still fairly new to running PinballX, are the other per system databases to allow for specific groupings of tables? Say, for the sake of example, one wanting to load separate list of the Pinball FX2 tables by Marvel, Starwars, and Zen tables?

I appreciate the explanation. I hope to eventually expand beyond Pinball FX2, however, my setup will only ever be desktop for the foreseeable future as I am also running GameEx in more or less an HTPC setting.

Playing desktop & cabinet myself on same machine for table creation. You have only one system you that you wouldn't ever need to disable, fair enough.

Ended up writing a script to read my own settings and move the systems xmls before launching into seperate folder and back out again before it can parse it.

Cheers

Yes I noticed this same issue with Pinball FX I have it disabled but still shows up and even thou I have it disabled in the setup wizard it is being displayed but after looking at the pinballx config file the Enabled=False was missing once I added that line manually to the Pinball FX section then they no longer appear however if I run the setup wizard then it reverts back again.
