Quote from: darkshoxx on June 29, 2026, 09:28:35 AMI have tested this with a folder that has 3 replay files, 2 for the same level. If I choose Playback Order by Replay, the levels are started, I see a purple "R" but no skills are selected, all the lemmings die  :(
Instead if I choose "By Level", everything works just fine.

I can't reproduce this. Please could you send over the replays that you used to test?

Options (F3 from main menu) > Configure Hotkeys > (Choose a key to edit) > Choose 'Stop Playback Mode' from the dropdown list*

Are you carrying over your hotkeys from NL? If so, a key won't have been configured for cancelling playback, hence the blank space. I should do something about this; we can set a default so that some key is shown here, and the user can be prompted to set their own the usual way (i.e. via Configure Hotkeys).

*Side note - admittedly, choosing key-first-then-action is a less unintuitive way to set hotkeys than choosing action-first-then-key, particularly if a user isn't aware of what actions are available. It may be a good idea to rethink the hotkey config UI at some point. I like Simon's hotkey UI in Lix, and - to a lesser extent - the super simple UI I created for RetroLemmini.

Yes, this is a problem. We should have a directory picker here.

Quote from: darkshoxx on June 29, 2026, 09:28:35 AMWould you like me to raise a github issue?

I was going to say 'no need' originally, but ... actually, this might be a good idea. Just make one for the folder issue for now, and please PM me your test replays.

Thanks for reporting.

Here's the playbacks I used. Maybe it's because two are for the same level?
Anyway, thanks for Simon for the idea to demonstrate it on stream.
Can you post a link to the github, then I can raise it as an issue there.
