just checked the source, yes width/height is remembered but position is always 'center'. Guess that can be changed for the next version

Works fine here. Maybe the 7z is not 'standard'. Probably it lists an error (if there would be an error window). No calculation is done. If an archive is read, it only lists the TOC (table of contents) in that window.

No.


> Really, haven't you heard about the GoodMerge program?

Heard yes but never seen it or used it. The scanning procedure is already well defined, so you have to change the datfile to match your needs. When I did Good* datfiles in the past I always put out 2 dats per version. One set separated and one with all roms in one set.


> LOL, didn't know that it's already done :)

Well...I'm currently not satisfied either that the progress window doesn't show the tooltip, too. I added the code but it simply doesn't work for that window...currently I don't know why.

Not that I know of...have to check the SDK again....but as I said: 7z sucks ;)

Was it rebuilt when it was removed from the source? If not, that smells like an issue. Have to check that.

Bug. I will fix this.

ok..I will check...I've downloaded the file. Thanks.


*edit* some 7z codes I've found:

#define SZ_OK (0)
#define SZE_DATA_ERROR (1)
#define SZE_OUTOFMEMORY (2)
#define SZE_CRC_ERROR (3)

#define SZE_NOTIMPL (4)
#define SZE_FAIL (5)

#define SZE_ARCHIVE_ERROR (6)
