Hi Roman,
I've some issues with samples with 271 and clrmame 0.07/0.14:
It keeps to delete these samples sets:
005.7z
bowl3d.7z
gridlee.7z
journey.7z
kst25.7z
ktmnt2.7z
ktopgun2.7z
mmagic.7z
ptrmj.7z
pulsar.7z
ripcord.7z
robotbwl.7z
sharkatt.7z
subroc3d.7z
tattack.7z
thief.7z
triplhnt.7z
twotiger.7z

Also, I don't know how can I manage MM1_keyboard and floppy samples, both uncompressed, inclued in MAME original archive. I was able to skip check for floppy folder samples but if I try to do the same with MM1_keyboard scanner keeps to backup it as unneded.

Other samples sets are untouched by the scanner.
Surely I'm doing something wrong.

[Roman]

Hmm...I will look at the MM1_keyboard one since that should actually produce no problem.
"floppy" is a known problem, since MAME's -listxml output does not reference the files at all, so they become "unneeded". I will think about how this can be resolved.
Regarding your list, can you send me one of your 7z files which get deleted?

Thank you

[Roman]

ah...ok....this happens in "full" mode....since e.g. 005 refers to itself as being the sampleparent...will fix it...thanks for reporting

[GDT]

Thank you for your work.

[Roman]

fixed for next release (or nightly build...) (at least the 005 etc problems and the MM1 one) but the floppy one ...as mentioned...I have to think about it

[Roman]

Well, regarding the floppy samples you can of course have a work around: Have 2 sample paths (one holding floppy, and the other one holding all the other sample sets) in MAME for playing and for clrmame auditing you only use 1 (the one without floppy).
Or you use a standalone samples datfile which may contain the floppy ones.

I've pointed out the problem that "floppy" isn't listed or referenced at all in -listxml in MAME's developer discord channel....will see if this is changed sometime, but I wouldn't count on ;-)

But thanks again for reporting the problems....while looking at the code I found some more sample related issues which now get fixed.....

[GDT]

For the moment I addes an unneeded mask with regex for skipping the floppy samples and this method worked for me.

I'll try with the fixed version as soon as you release it.

Thank you.
