Title: Feature req. (or there a tool out there already?)
Post by: i_robot73 on 04 July 2019, 21:43

Is is possible to get an export 'super-fix-dat' option on the folders?  IE:  combine all the fix-dats under the selected folder in CMPro into one.

I use multiple machines @ the house and searching per-DAT through all the d/l'd material is time consuming (and wouldn't require (de)selecting which folders to (not) scan for each...just 'run it all through').

Have enjoyed the app for many years.

No, there is such option. Just merging them can run into problems since different profiles may share the same setname and a C64 pacman is not an Atari2600 pacman is not an Arcade pacman....
So the resulting sets may be a bit mixed up.

I understand if I meant 'across the whole', but I don't see any such concern were it 'all-REDUMP' or 'all-NO-INTRO', as I (try) to keep things separated.

I'll try to find/noodle a solution.  Apprec. the time & consideration as always!

on the other hand, if I remember correctly, cmpro will change double set names when importing the datfile...so if you got pacman and pacman (from 2 different profiles), it will rename the second (to pacman_2 or something).
But...for generating fix datfiles, cmpro needs to scan the profile. So either way, a (batch) scan needs to be done....
I will think about it....however I nearly have no time for cmpro these months.....
