Hmm, maybe I don't understand your question. But let me say this...
I don't mind opening databases one by one, i actually think that makes sense, it makes even more sense to have individual databases, as is the current convention. So i'm not asking for any changes there.
I really do like romcenter and think it's the best rom manager out there. I'm just asking if it's possible to add such a feature where one could click a browse button select a folder of dat files and have romcenter take each dat file in the chosen folder and batch process them..Again I'm not asking for romcenter to build one massive database. Each dat file should create it's own romcenter database, this I agree with.
Let's say a folder has 100 dat files. I go to romcenter File -> New, Then instead of just "Load games list from a datfile" you could add another selection that says: "Load multiple datafile(s)". The latter option would allow one to select a folder (full of dat files) and import all files in that folder to their individual romcenter database files. Or maybe allow the user to select multiple dat files for the batch. I don't know what would be the best way of doing this exactly. But, does this make sense?
But to answer your question as I understand it, I would say No, I would not need a batch repair process. Because i'm only analyzing one database file at any one time. I just want a quicker way of importing dat files, that's all. To import dat files one by one is really time consuming when looking at importing up too 750 of them on each tosec dat file release... Sorry I can be long winded at times...
