After renaming an XML dat profile via right-click -> "Rename Profile" in the Profiler window, the XML dat becomes corrupted and the profile will no longer load properly. This image shows the original dat on the left, and the same dat after being renamed on the right. The problem is the duplicated tags and extra </header> tag after the first </header> tag. Manually removing these repairs the dat. Non-XML dats are not affected. I am using clrmamepro 4.08b x64 on Windows 7 x64.

If I could throw in a somewhat related feature request: it would be nice if upon updating a previously renamed profile with a new dat version, the custom profile name was carried over after the update. Currently the profile name is overridden by the new dat, and any custom name must be re-entered.

Thanks!

You got it! That build does not cause the corruption. Thanks for the quick fix.

I saw the Topic Title and knew of this 'bug'...

The List of Profiles, does not show the Unicode Dat names,
I went to rename one once to it's correct name and learnt of it..

Downloading it now to see if this is the same..

Still the same, a DAT with a Unicode description doesn't display the correct name.

Test Dat


The description is 哈哈哈
But shows as 'see pic'

Enough said,

Thanks.
Hope Mrs & Baby are doing well !

oxyandy, so what are you reporting? A display issue for utf8 dat descriptions in the profiler? ...and a request to make the compressor settings wider?

[oxyandy]

Hi Roman,
Yes both,
1. Please slightly widen the Compressor settings dialogue.
2. Please see what you can do about making UTF-8 descriptions show in profiler..

Thanks

[Roman]

ok...can't promise to show something today...more likely next week.....

[oxyandy]

Ah.. such minor things...
Just tack them onto the end of your 'to do list'
 
and thanks..

Your dat does not have an utf8-bom....
(use e.g. notepad++ to save it as utf8 (with bom) and it shows up fine in the profiler)

It's an old style dat (not xml), so it needs a bom....only XML files are taken as utf8 by default...

[oxyandy]

Ah ok, yes that works !
thanks for the work around,
sorry I had not tried with BOM before..

Bye
