Oh, and when RCB extracts a game from .7z or .zip, where does it put it? Does it delete it immediately after it's done? I'd rather it leave it there until I say delete it since I'm going to be playing it several times and would rather not have it constantly extracting and writing to my drive.
Put this in a text file with a batch extension
Code:@echo off
for %%f in ("C:\test2\*.jpg","C:\test2\*.png") do (
if NOT exist "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.zip" (if NOT exist "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.rar" (
del "%%~ff"
)
)
)
Change path accordingly
If you need to see the files that are being deleted for any reason use this one instead
Code:@echo off
for %%f in ("C:\test2\*.jpg","C:\test2\*.png") do (
if NOT exist "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.zip" (if NOT exist "%%~df%%~pf%%~nf.rar" (
del "%%~ff" in echo "%%~ff"
)
)
)
I like this. I'd be very interested in knowing what other batch tricks you have.
The only other one I have is for getting rid of foreign games. Some people like to keep whole collections but personally I don't need anything that isn't USA... So I use this to solve that
Code:
for /f "eol=: delims=" %%F in ('dir /b /a-d * ^| find /v /i "USA"') do del "%%F"
It simply removes any file without USA in the name...but you could change USA if you wanted to use it for other parameters..

All I get is box front and back on initial scrape. I then have to either go game by game or do delete games only from remove collection. After that, I import the games with interactive and disable all trackers but thegamedb and it gets the rest of the artwork.
It's quicker than going to the site and searching game by game, but does anyone know why it doesn't just pick them up on its own?
You're welcome and I think using favorites is the solution to your other question..this is something I was going to look into but hadn't yet because I only had one collection done..but yeah it is a pain to have to go into filter and change..rather just go directly into that collection...favorite should work I think.
Edit: So I looked and the favorites here are not XBMC favorites..it only adds games to favorites inside RCB which if you select favorites in the filters will show only those..so that won't work...so unless there is a command line that you can run RCB with ..there may not be a way to do this (without using Advanced launcher instead of RCB)
So Question to anyone or RCB Devs/mods:
Is there a way to run RCB with set filters? Command line in Advanced Launcher for instance that might start with SNES filter ? I looked through all the docs and did not see a way to do this..but surely it's possible?
