clrmame Discussion / Re: Help with Scan: titles/flyers!!

That makes perfectly sense now. I will have a look for a newer front-end (can you suggest one that works similar to mameui? IV/Play maybe?), although using mameui for years this will be quite a change .
As for the speed issue: Thanks for working on that, too. Years ago I would have never thought that this project will take up so much space on my hard-disk. With all these artwork-files (not talking about chd!!) it´s more and more like a museum with a lot of fond memories .

Thanks for your help, Roman!

Thank you very much for your fast reply, Roman !
I understood your explanation regarding the speed-issue and I will try to work with the settings as you suggested.
By the way I´m using MameUI64 and it worked well for me. As I mentioned cmpro and mameui64 had no problems with the sets and dats (progetto-snaps) of cp, pcb, marquees, cabinets etc. only with flyers and titles - altough they are containing are a lot of files/large ones (uncompressed because of hi-res-flyers)!
I´m still not sure how get cmpro/dat and mame to recognize the sets in the same folder as mameui64 doesn´t look for .png´s in, let´s say, mameui64\flyer\flyer\005.png but only in mameui64\flyer\005.png.

Sure the solution will be simple but right now it´s interesting to figure it out...

clrmame Discussion / Help with Scan: titles/flyers!!

Hi!
I´m not new to mame and cmpro but I´ve encountered some strange problems recently:
I´ve updated my flyers and titles files with the help of progetto-snaps to version 0.146.
I´m also using the 0.146 datfiles but first cmpro creates a folder within the folder titles and whenever I try to do a scan (only using the options name, unneeded and missing) it scans for hours withou a result and whenever I try to stop the process the whole program chrashes  .
Also mame only displays the titles if NOT placed in titles/titles but only in the folder \titles.
Same happens if I try to zip the files - strange.
With the flyer-files (unzipped, because it´s about 4-5 gb!) it worked but cmpro also creates a folder named flyers and mame doesn´t display the pictures. So I copied the files into \flyers alone - and mame has no propblem at all. But if I want to do a scan again, cmpro tells me, that there is no correct set in \flyers (ROM-path in settings is set to \mamui64\flyers\)
Can you give me some directions in what to do? All my other updates are working properly (artwork, pcb, control p., etc.) using the 0.146 dat-files.
By the way - thanks for your tool, Roman, mame would be impossible to handle with all the files without cmpro64!

Thank you very much and I hope it doesn´t sound too confusing!
