clrmame Discussion / Batch Mode - Datfile Folder duplicate subdirectory
« on: 31 December 2016, 18:10 »
I don't know if I have something configured incorrectly or if this is a bug...
First, I load new dat files in batch mode with no rompaths set. I set the rompath naming option to be "Datfile folder". Then when I run the scan, the last rompath subdirectory is duplicated in the path.
For example:
Dat file: /datfiles/Console/NES/datfilename.dat
Rom path set: /Console/NES/NES
Any idea if there is an easy fix to this issue?
Update: After tinkering with a few other options, it looks like this may be working as intended according to the description... but I cannot think of a scenario where this is useful. I think its much more useful to just mirror the datfile directory structure instead of tacking on an extra subdirectory.
Unless there is a setting I am overlooking, the only other option looks like renaming all of my datfiles to the appropriate subdirectory name and using the "Datfile file" option instead.
