Heya Roman,

Just a small one : seems that the Check Name checkbox isn't being saved when going out & back into the Scanner window.

Is this intentional?

SK.

The checkboxes are saved correctly. What you see is intentional. Name check gets enabled together with 'missing' to prevent users from removing wrong named files. You can disable it in the scanner though but as soon as you enable unneeded or missing, it'll be turned back on. Same if you leave the scanner and return. clrmamepro detects that either unneeded or missing is enabled and enables name check as well.

Ah, OK. I knew about Unneeded, but not Missing. Does that mean that if I untick Unneeded and Name, have Missing ticked, then do a scan.....it's then ignoring the fact that Name is unticked? Just asking cause it doesn't seem to care that you have that combination ticked, until you close / reopen the Scanner Window...hmmm...think it ticks it if you click Fastscan too (which makes sense, going off what you have said)...

SK.

If you untick unneeded and name and keep missing enabled, you will do a normal missing scan. But files which got a wrong name will marked as missing. That's not really a problem since you can't enable unneeded now. As soon as you enable unneeded, the name check is reenabled as well.

The fact that name is re-enabled on entering the scanner is based on the 2nd usage of the check options after a scan.
They can be used to hide/show scanresults by toggling the belonging check buttons. For example your scan got a lot of wrong named files listed, you can simply disable 'name' and they will be hidden from the tree.
