Roman,

Is there currently an option to rename an exe-based datfile? I like to have the version number in the title of the datfile and, at the moment, when a new version of Mame is released, I do 1 of the following :

- Delete the existing datfile and recreate a new one with the new exe.
- Rename all of the files in the datfiles, fastscans, logs, scans & settings directories (and edit the file in the datfiles dir to reflect the new description). Then, load the datfile, get the message that the exe has changed, and let CMPro get the new information.

The 2nd one *almost* works, but the files saved in the logs & fastscans directories use the old file name. (ahh...I've just found where it's getting these filenames... Scanner_FastScan & Scanner_LogFile settings in the settings file)

So, is it possible to include a Rename function for exe-based datfiles, or should I just stick with my 1st option (delete then re-create)?
