Hi. Is possible create a rebuild creating the files in separated folders and in alphabetical order?. Example:

Folders Files

A A fantastic adventure.bin, A Bug Life.bin
B Batman.bin, Bart in trouble.bin
C Cat Dude.bin, Championship Soccer.bin
...

My other cuestion is if possible introduce the files uncompressed in a single folder, others times i tested the uncompressed rebuild in clrmame and it makes the files into folders with the same name of the files(example: puyo puyo\puyo puyo.bin), no is posible skip this method and introduce all the files in any folder?

Thanks.

1) an alphabetical order is only possible if you modify the underlying datfile. You can use 'rebuildto' flags in there or split up the datfile in single letter (not really worth it)

2) The subfolder is used because that's the offical way to store roms unzipped. it's rompath\setname\rom1 ... rom n or rompath\setname.zip. No way around it. The only possible way is to modify the datfile again. Instead of keeping single sets, you can put them all into one big one.

The second question is eno very important for me, i make it simple rebuilding uncompressed and later compressing all without folders(example WinRAR include this option), and later decompressing without folders(no remmber the exact steps...).

The option for alphabetical order in subfolders is my request, in theory it increase the speed in dats with much more archives(5000 of goodgen for example) and is more easy to localize exact set in others programs in my opinion... is my request.

As I said....you have to modify the used datfile in both cases.

The option for include alphabetical order in various folders in a single datfile is much more hardest and long time making it what if your include that option in Clrmame not?. Ok no problem if you decide no include it, is your program, for me this option and include files uncompressed in a single folder are plenty of useful.

With a macroprogrammable texteditor it shouldn't be too hard to write a macro which takes the first letter of the setname and adds a "rebuildto" entry for it.

hmm...on the other side I can add a variable for rebuilder's advanced "Dest.Presting" option. Something like %a (for 1st letter of setname or something).....
Guess that will be in the next version.

Sounds good, more good if is possible make all letters in a single rebuild :-).

????
with "%a\" you will rebuild to subfolders named after the 1st character of the setname...not just "a" ;)
