Hi Roman.
what font are you using with CMP windows ?
Someone is saying
win7 x64 , regional settings : Eastern Europe
they are not seeing the U in
Auf der Überholspur

yeah yeah...first of all...I'm on holiday, no cmpro work till end of month...
secondly...I currently have this discussion with Oddie about *that* example...
Cmpro doesn't set any font, so it uses the standard system font for the controls / dialog fields / text outputs. Seems to be a font related thing on their systems....however the created files should be fine...just a display issue based on missing characters in their font...
I may look at this end of september ...sounds like I need to allow font selection or something...no idea...
-
I can repeat the effect when I switch to Bulgarian ... seems like the used windows font doesn't have üöä characters available then....Sounds a bit like cmpro has to support font selection sometime in the future....
-
Well as we both know it reads and writes the characters just fine,
just a Screen Display thing..
Enjoy your break.

Hi Roman, looks like I stumbled upon a small glitch.
As usual, after compiling a fresh MAME built I load it up in clrmame and scanner->setinformation->export a datfile for it in the OLD FORMAT.
Then I load the resulting datfile in "listtools.exe" (an old datfile manager) and do all of my datfile updates.
Now with MAME 0.143u5 and clrmame v4.0a the exported datfile in old format has something wrong in it, and it is no more accepted by listtools.
I know that I should discard the old datfile completely and move on to xml, but I still edit all my datfiles with notepad, and the xml format is a pain in the derier to read; the old format in this case is much more easy and straightforward.
Would it be possible for you to have a look at it?
Thanks in advance for your effort.

Found other bug , in Scanner when click "Statistics" button, statistics window is empty.

then you might miss the stats.ini file, haven't scanned yet or something else happened what I will check when I'm back from holiday.

@f205v
A quick search only shows 1 result in a message board for Listtool v2.8..
If you want some-one to help. upload it somewhere.
Like http://www.megaupload.com (http://www.megaupload.com)
xml is easy to read in Notepad++ you can change colours, fonts, sizes etc etc..
making it real easy to look over..
Is probably a simple thing like opening the output file from CMP
and saving in a different encoding.
@Roman
A holiday is not bothering to read message boards till you return
::)

here upload List tool 3.4
http://www.multiupload.com/0AWG6T5EZH (http://www.multiupload.com/0AWG6T5EZH)
btw - problem with statistics window is fixed, i dont know how recovery :)
test with new mame dat 0.143u5.

List tool 3.4 it seems,
Can not load any kind of xml file.
Even ones I had made in 2008..
It does load depreciated dats...
From "scanner->setinformation->export a datfile for it in the OLD FORMAT."
There is no option..
So, what you want Roman to do is add the option to export in depreciated format
as an option here.
Is ListTool still developed ?
Couldn't they just add the support to import xml dats ?
-
there is a "hidden" option in the cmpro ini file to produce a non-xml format...
...I will test it later tonight (am home from holiday #1, but will leave for holiday #2 soon). The only changes are that it is saved as utf8 (with BOM) and devices are included....so one of these things seem to break that tool.
-
by the way, I found the reason for the empty/incomplete stats window....
...and the reason for listtool issue is the utf8 BOM....maybe I don't write it in a future version for old style dats
