Still busy with real life...so again, something in between:

3.130a

rename wizard:
  - improved fuzzy name compare
  - don't allow identical new names, the one with the best method wins

misc: don't replace illegal chars in description tags until you use it for writing
misc: reapplying setinformation options "incl.clones/parents" on profile load, this
      can be useful if you limit sets with "available sets" (and the parent/clone options)
      to auto-enable some renamed sets on dat update. However you still should recheck
      the limit sets after an update since limiting sets is not robust against massive renames.
misc: improved chd decompress and check hash routines slighly

fixed: checkbox init of scanner->Hash&CHD->CHD MD5/SHA1 is not always correct
fixed: header support getRealSize was still broken

it would be nice if the renameset would also keep track of ADDED games, now removed are treated as "unmatched"
setname -> ?
it would also be nice to have a

? -> setname
for games in the new dat not matched in the old one....

Anyway it is already working GREAT for now. Some more features might be:
general purpose features:
- rearrange output by matching method (will ease the check)
- save output as txt (easyer check, find/replace possibility etc)
- save output as ren.bat (useful for image collection maintainance/update, BEFORE generating thr cmpro dats with dir2dat)

personal wishlist.....

- save output in mamediff.out format
- commandline support....


But no hurry, you I'm well aware of your present situation, and that spare time in this case is a luxury!

Well the current list with the renames (which you can copy/paste btw...) is just for testing the detection
I'm still tweaking the tests a bit....still not happy with some renames (132->133 viper is annoying since the sets mainly have a chd and that changed....)

But I keep your remarks of course.....

I am actually working with the output produced at present, copy/pasted on a txt and tweaked to fit my scripts (and inverting the dats, new vs old, I can also filter out added games
Also pretty easy to setup a small chunk of code to rearrange the output, to be integrated with MY scpripts, the ones I use to update progettoemma.net (php scirpts CLI driven, that's why I would like CLI support for this functiopn... )
It already beats mamediff 10:0, thanks for your job up to now!
