@jimyx: Thanks a lot for the fixes. I will check them in detail and add it to the trunk. I am on a trip for some days now and don't know about my time and connectivity, so it may happen that it will last some days to get them in.
I also have to test all this stuff because I had a lot of trouble with different encoding scenarios: filenames, dirnames, local desc files, online desc files, database, ... Just to make sure that your fixes don't mess up one of the other scenarios.
But you seem to dig deep into the code. Any interest in joining the "team"?
@Tomkun: First you must update to 0.7.7 if you haven't done already (I added extra sequel handling code in this release). Second you have to make sure that the game name that you search for ends with the sequel number. So if your rom name is "Alien Breed I (US)", you have to remove the " (US)" (note the empty space at the beginning). If you don't want to rename the rom, you can use the replace function in the config.xml. Or you wait for 0.7.8, I hope to add an option to replace all (*) and [*] stuff automatically before searching.
