Hi

I am scanning mame roms (0.0145) with clrmamepro (v4.04) using the fix options enabled (ie. ticked).

I get the following message on about two dozen roms:

"
Set:   Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (World 930201)
Name:   dino
File:   G:\EMULATOR_ROMS\Mame_ArcadeRoms_145\dino.zip

Do you want to rename the following wrong named ROMs?

cd_q.rom -> cd_q.5k
cd_q1.rom -> cd-q1.1k
cd_q2.rom -> cd-q2.2k
cd_q3.rom -> cd-q3.3k
cd_q4.rom -> cd-q4.4k
cde_21a.rom -> cde_21a.6f
"
When I select 'Yes'  or 'Yes to All', the renaming does not occur. (ie. the next time I scan, the same question occurs).

I cannot figure out why the renaming is not working.

I am running Windows 7, and I run Clrmamepro in 'Run as Administrator'.

I look forward to anyones help.

renaming can fail if

a) the zipfile got bad structures...so it might decompress fine but some zip specific structures are bad and renaming fails
b) rename a file to a new name which already exists in the archive and no circular rename takes place. In this case you need to do it manually (or simply rebuild the set)

I can look at it if you send me the archive in question.

I have same issue upgrading a MAME romset from 0.145u3 to 0.145u4

Right now the only solution is to manually move the zips which generate a prompt to some temp directory and use the rebuilder which rebuilds them back in correctly.

I think the issue is sometimes a file with same CRC32 has different names in the same zip.

I hoping these zips can help this progress Roman

I will look at the files. However keep in mind that some rene failures are a wanted behaviour.
For example: imagine a zip with file A and B in it.
And a rename of A -> B without a rename of B to something. Then rename fails.

As mentioned before, please check if this is not intended....
zipfile contains A and B; rename A -> B where B is not renamed either...then you will get this...

This will currently show a not-fixed message simply because you'd otherwise either create double zip entries (B and B) or would overwrite a valid file.
I may think of a move to backup maybe.....

[max-holz]

I solved moving these sets in the backup folder and doing a rebuilding. I don't how it's possible but it works!
I have tested Willow and clones and all are working fine.

[Roman]

Well of course rebuilding "works" and solves this, since you don't do renames The rebuilder just adds/replaces files. In case of a replace, the replaced one gets moved to backup.

Again, a rename checks if the new_name exists, then the rename operation won't be done (unless the existing new_name gets renamed by itself).

Guess I should apply the 'move to backup if rename fails' logic to roms (for sets it's already in)...
