Multi-Disc Entry Parsing - Search pattern enhancement

[Pacman56]

Yesterday I tested the “Import > ROM Files” with the latest beta (7.0-beta-8) now that the multi-disk support has been implemented. Unfortunately, errors appear when attempting to import my Apple II software list roms.

Some old computers like the Apple II had single sided floppy drives where you sometimes has to flip over the floppy disk over to read the other side (side B). Consequently, the software dumps were named to reflect the floppy disk side such as: “Disk 1 Side A”, “Disk 1 Side B”, etc. If you look at the highlighted text on my screenshots below, you’ll notice that the Disc column is not always filled-in which I believe causes the errors and as a result, a number of roms won’t get imported.

Note: The file names I’m using are from the official HS xml. I’ve also looked at the naming convention used by TOSEC and they are also using “Side A”, “Side B” in their file names.

Hi Pacman, we're currently parsing disc numbers by searching for "(Disc(k) #)", which explains why ""Disc(k) # Side XYZ)" isn't being caught. Thanks for the catch! We always need more info to upgrade our search patterns :).
