Deleted files/roms etc, where do they go?

[klepp0906]

Ugh, so i just had a buncha stuff sorted into folders (unlicensed/prototypes etc) that I couldnt find a means to omit from parsing with a 1g1r dat. I figured that was making the best of the situation.

I re ran romcenter and clicked fix without thinking. Ended up deleting all of the folders and the roms within.

I hoped romcenter moved them to the recyling bin, or some folder within its directory.

Seems no bueno on either.

Might i request an option in the future to choose between eradicating deleted stuff, or deleting it to the recyling bin instead?

Hi there and welcome.

Such an option already exists. You will find it at menu File / Options, under section "Backup". You should find your deleted files in the folder mentioned there.

ah, thats what i get for not being thorough. my apologies and thank you for the heads up. Romcenter is aiding in securing my sanity - and im just getting started

No problem. Have fun with it and remember, it's always good practice to have a backup of your roms somewhere. It's still not an official release, although as Eric (the developer) said, the final RC4 version should be out soon.

yea, i do keep a backup JIC. ive learned the hard way too many times. With larger sets (when i get into the disc based stuff) thats gonna be more problematic so ill likely test small batches.

More on topic though - I just ran a dat against a 32x set, and configured it to only keep USA and World. As expected it cleared out about half of em. I checked the recycling bin, and theres nothing there. Evidently the setting isnt working or i'm misunderstanding it?

Hi

Did you select to send removed items in the recycle bin ?
If no, they are moved to the default archives folder.

I just checked and you're right. It seems there is a problem with moving to recycle. I will fix that of course.

Fyi, final release should be ready very soon. There will be a windows installer version and a portable (same as beta versions).

[klepp0906]

great! thank you for checking (and for your work. you programmers never cease to amaze!).

also thank you for providing a portable version <3 I run anything i can portable and in the emulation realm, not being portable = likely not being used by me.

Fortunately that seems to be run up against exceedingly rarely nowadays.

I'm getting off topic though

It's still not an official release.
