ok guys and gal. here's v5.0.1 - i want you to try it and let me know if there's any problem before i commit it and release it.

wfl - https://www.mediafire.com/file/9um3e7hhv24wkfv/wflv5.0.1_boot.dol/file

wfl as wiiflow - https://www.mediafire.com/file/bq5dho2u92832ab/wfl_as_wfv5.0.1_boot.dol/file

@Tetsuo Shima does it work with dosbox?
@Hakaisha try your small_covers theme subfolders again please.

this version includes the nov 16th and 19th commits that fix a lot of issues pointed out to me plus the following
- sourceflow small_covers can now go in a subfolder with the same name as the theme. which makes them change when the theme is changed.
- added notification messages when you delete a cover or banner on manage cover banner menu. translators will need to translate them and the download cover menu text changes.
- download cover menu changes: title is now 'Downloads'. removed 'missing' button and changed 'all' to 'download' because there was no difference between all and missing. it always downloads missing covers. in the future i plan to add custom banners download which will download all missing custom GC banners.

It works perfectly. Thanks!! :grog:

I changed themes back and forth several times, and it always rebuilt the sourceflow cache correctly depending on the theme chosen.

I notice also that for 5.0 and 5.0.1 wfl (not wfl as wf) my multiple plugins (all with multiple custom magic numbers) for nin 64 all joined via one button (#3) on source menu (set to appear on starting wiiflow) always generates the "loading bar" immediately listed "100% Done" every time it is clicked. Then short interval after appearing - covers display correctly. Does not appear when I click any other source menu buttons. My dosbox button also has multiple magic numbers but no issue with 100% load bar.

Pre 5.0 and 5.0.1 did not appear. Generated correctly.

EDIT I recall some time ago that a default orientation for viewing nin 64 cover as sideways was baked in via the default magic number. I made new magic numbers for all so that they would display vertically but dunno if this has anything to do with my observation.

my logical guess is that one of those magic #s isn't needed or used.
can you post the magic #s for that button?
and look in dev:/wiiflow/cache/lists folder to find the.db file that matches them?

Well by jove you fixed my problem (yet again)!

I had set up one of the magic #'s which was going unused. That "unused" magic number was being "routed" to an empty folder. I migrated the contents of that empty folder to other folders with different magic numbers long ago. I simply deleted the unused magic number from source_menu.ini and clicking my source menu button boots right up clean as a whistle.

Thanks a million!
