Feature Request
« on: 06 April 2009, 03:29 »


I hope other people will find this idea of great use, I sure do!

I tend to not run clrmame over an updated dat alot of times, so I am sure that I have alot of unneeded files possibly floating around. I would like to be able to take a torrent file and use it as a dat file. Scanning the folder where the files were located would be short and fast to show unneeded items.

Is this silly? I know I could get an updated dat and scan it, just thought this might be a shortcut.

Actually I don't understand your request. Sounds like you're only rebuilding new files from "update packs" to your collection without doing a single scan on it????
I don't see a problem removing unneeded files with the scanner.

Just a lazy way to check the folder for not needed files, already have the torrent, why go get the dat. :)

Told you it was silly.

That could be an idea for DatWorkshop.

There we have a tool on it called "Wish List File Finder". Its can be used to copy, move and scan a directory using a Dat, a INI File or a txt file as source. It would be possible to add .torrent as source.

Note: this way you can manage only Sets , their content (roms) would not be considered.
