When I run the rebuilder to scan for one file in my rom collection, it scans all sets. I would prefer that it would stop scanning upon finding the one file.

How about a change to the rebuilder so that it stops scanning upon finding all the missing roms.

This would allow the rebuilder to finish scanning, when all the missing roms are found.

This could be added by using a "Fast Rebuild" button.

if fast_rebuild && dat->scanned ; then
missing = dat->missing_roms
else
missing = dat->total_roms

:
while (rebuilding) ; do

:
/* If we are not removing rebuilt files
* check if we found all of the missing files
*/
if (fast_rebuild && !Remove_rebuilt_files ) ; then
if (created == missing) ; then
rebuilding = false;
done

Hmmmmm....maybe ;) I add it to my list. The problem is that it's a bit difficult to say "all files rebuilt from the dat" if you rebuild in several steps. Like 10 of 20 files were rebuilt in the first run...then you found the rest some day and run the rebuilder again....

There could be a flag and warning for "Fast Rebuild" that requires a rescan of the roms before it will perform a "Fast Rebuild" again.

well....scanner and rebuilder are 2 totally different modules...it's not that easy to combine both....anyway....your request is on my todo list....but don't expect anything anytime soon. Real life is still taking most of my time.

Take your time, I'm in no hurry. ;-)

Thanks for the great tool.
