Hi everyone,

A new version of ARRM is available:

ARRM 2.0.2.4 (01 october 2024)

Changelog:

Fixed: The 'Move Roms to folders (Genre / Publisher)' module did not process any Roms if the XML file was not filled in.
Modification: 'Screenscraper Request per day' and 'Screenscraper Ko Request per day' information is now visible on the database tab even when the database is not 'Undock'
Fixed: In some cases, the creation of the gamelist.xml / gamelist_arrm.xml was executed twice.
Added: In the 'Gamelist' tab, checked text tags will be present in the gamelist.xml file (gamelist_arrm.xml keeps all tags)
Modification: 'Copy / Move Roms to folder' button: it is now also possible to copy the selected roms and their associated media to another system folder without deleting them from the initial folder. The gamelist will be created or completed in the destination folder. Be careful to read the wiki for the specifics of copying / moving: https://shorturl.at/VhOhF
Correction: When launching ARRM 2.0.2.3 on a computer that never had ARRM, the application closed after the splashscreen
Correction: When applying a filter a crash could occur when using the 'show hide' button.
Correction: fixed a bug which sometimes prevented the creation of thumbnails / marquees according to the values which had been chosen.
Correction: Various bugs
Modification: Use of Net Framework 4.8
Fixed: App stopping after splashscreen
Fixed: Sometimes ARRM key could jump (for donor users) in ARRM 2.0.2.3 before 29 august 2024
Fixed: Following a change at my web host, registered ARRM users were no longer recognized and some files were not accessible. (You may need to re-enter your ARRM key into the registry)
Added: It is now possible to scrape Bezels on HFSDB
Modification: The 'Delete METADATA' button offers a checklist of the METADATA you want to clear (request from PixelWizard) view wiki : https://shorturl.at/tnoDW
Addition: 'Compression Image / Video' button in the 'Selected Systems' tab allows you to compress all images and videos of the systems concerned (request from Delirious)
Added: 'Get systems media' button in the 'Systems Selected' tab, allows you to retrieve all media from checked systems respecting country priority. Voir Wiki : https://shorturl.at/CzScL
Fixed: 'Rate me' button caused app crash
Added : 'ARRM Folders Exclusion' textbox : When saving the gamelist.xml, the ARRM Folders checkbox will not apply to the indicated systems (separated by a comma). This allows, by ignoring custom folders, to speed up the creation of the gamelist on systems containing many subfolders, such as Windows, PS3, Teknoparrot etc…
Added: It is possible to move Roms into subfolders based on Genre or Publisher (request by Bob_Morane). See wiki: https://shorturl.at/Yg3tr
Modification: 'Game Name' is no longer taken into account by the 'Missing Text Only' checkbox. The Game Name is never empty (because it takes the name of the Rom file when empty), if 'Missing Text' was checked the game name was not updated following a scrape
