Copying everything from one SD card to another seems to break favorites
- If you select @favorites from the Cores list, all favorites are shown in the list, however if you launch one of the favorites you are kicked back to the cores menu.
- If you run the favorites script shows no favorites are there, which conflicts with the fact that @favorites shows the favorites list
- If you go ahead and add favorites using the favorites script, they appear as duplicates alongside the original favorites. If you attempt to launch any of the newly added favorites you are kicked back to the proceeding menu.
My guess is some symbolic link thing is not working, but it's odd that even adding new favorites they are un-launchable. I migrated by copying everything from my prior mister SD card to a new larger card after first using Mister Fusion on the new SD card. It would be awesome to state where the favorites data is stored on the mister SD card in the readme.
I think I may have figured out the issue. I looked in the @favorites folder which was very helpful in figuring out what was going on. It seems on a Mac the underlying files are copied in @favorites rather than actual symbolic links. I think "cp -a" may be the solution. I will close this shortly once I confirm solution.
