Hi Roman,

Thank you for sharing your updates.  I'm loving the new UI.  It's so clear and pleasing to the eyes.  Forgive me for bringing this up again, but I notice a box for filters, will that mean I would still be able to filter MAME sets by driver status in a future release?

Time will tell. Tosec? Well, as long as they follow the xml layout of MAME I don't see a problem. I haven't thought about any 1G1R mode yet though. For now, a clean, small core is all I'm interested in.....

You definitely make good design choices and will be looking forward to how this software flourishes.  BTW, does it have a new name or should we keep calling it "Rebuilder" for the time being?

Thanks again Roman!

That sounds wrong (if I fully understand it), you're saying that the scanner adds files to unselected sets? How? By fix-missing? If a set is disabled it should not even complain about missing files nor should a fix-missing operation work on it. In full merged sets you may run into weird effects if you e.g. enabled a clone but got the parent disabled, then of course the "parent" set exists but only with the clone files....Disabling sets is a bad idea anyhow ;-)

The way you described it, now I'm able to articulate the issue better.  If I only want sets that are not preliminary, I run into issues where the parent is disabled and the clone is enabled.  My work around is to enable "parents, clones, devices, bios" which works great and is my way of dealing with MAME's ever growing list of sets stuck in the forever preliminary phase.  Also, I only use split sets.  Again, I'm perfectly fine with this solution and if this can be carried over to the new software, it would be great.  Also, would No-Intro dats be impacted in the future?

Actually that idea came up right now while writing this post...and I definetly put it on my list. One thing is questionable though: Such a selector would only pick machines on their own. There is no "also include parent / clone / bios / devices"....but hey...I need something to do for the future....

I'm assuming you already know this, but the reason I need to include "parent / clone / bios /device" when I use "Logical Not" %D=preliminary is because the Scanner attempts to add files to the sets that are disabled resulting in never getting a completely finished scan.  Not sure if I explained it correctly

Hi Roman,

Thank you so much for the update.  Hope you are well.  I am a long time lurker, but was compelled to make an account to ask about the new software.  The reason I've been using your software for many years is because i use a certain filter for MAME and wanted to know if someday this may be implemented.  Basically the DriverStatus flag, as MAME keeps growing, I've come to the realization that most of the sets will forever stay in the preliminary phase.  I basically scan sets that are not preliminary, but include all the parents, clones, drivers, bios.  Would love to hear your thoughts on this, but I understand if this is something that won't carry over.

Thank you,
Nullz
