1.78 - "video_shader" option not working anymore?

[PixelGordo]

I discovered that with the last update the video_shader option stopped working. I tried creating setting the option in the GUI and saving it but it doesn’t appear at all. My guess is that the information is just stored in the retroarch.glslp file Am I right?

EDIT TO ADD FURTHER DETAILS

In the past I had a config file that I appended with the --appendconfig option with this content.

auto_shaders_enable = "true"
video_shader_dir = "~/.config/retroarch/shaders"
video_shader = "~/.config/retroarch/shaders/shaders_glsl/crt/crt-geom.glslp"        
video_shader_enable = "true"

That was enough to apply the shader. So, if I completely removed retroarch.cfg and I launched it (like it was the first time using it) appending my config above, everything was correct. Now, the same process gives me no shader at all.

CFG file parameter video_shader = not working

video_shader was part of why shaders would sometimes be applied to cores that weren’t supposed to have them, among other strange and unpredictable behaviors. You can usually get a similar functionality by using the new --set-shader command line switch.

Thanks, hunterk, using the command line option and working with no problems.
