clrmame Discussion / 4.048d deleting backups

« on: 29 July 2024, 01:56 »

So, before I describe the problem, I'm fully aware that it's something I shouldn't do, and I had never done it before.

I had a batch running of new Redump DATs, and when it got to the Xbox DAT I realized it was unwantedly (but correctly) backing up all the magazines from my NAS to my local slow backup disc. I was in the backup folder at the time, when instead of correctly canceling the run I instead deleted the remaining files from the ROM directory directly. I expected an error, which I got. However, it then deleted all the files in the backup directory as I watched. Like I hinted, it's an unwanted consequence of a stupid maneuver, but I thought worth reporting because of the data loss.

Thanks!

clrmame Discussion / 7zip rn option

« on: 27 October 2022, 23:23 »

So, I have a bunch of archives with the roms in subfolders within the 7zip. I enabled the rename function under the compressor settings, but it still seems to be rebuilding the entire archive. I believe the problem is related to the fact that unless you specify the FULL path within the archive to the file you wish to rename, it will fail as file not found. It also does not accept wildcards. It does, however, allow for a "move" operation to be done with the rename.

Bottom line what I'm asking, is there any way to have clrmame essentially make up the functionality lost in the 7zip implementation by having clrmame pass the full path to the %2 parameter of the rn? It would tremendously speed up processing of 7zip files that require only a name change.

Thanks!

clrmame Discussion / Question on filtering sets

« on: 21 July 2022, 04:20 »

My question, and hopefully it's not something painfully apparent that I've overlooked, is is there a way to select "All Available Sets" from the set information window, and then subsequently apply a filter that would add to the list. I understand the answer is probably "no" based on the complexity of combining multiple runs of filters, but maybe a "%" variable that would allow one to check the available status from within the filter search window?
