Space Mode: Exporting same plan repeatedly alternates between adding and deleting files

[matijaerceg]

I have a test plan that just has all the street fighter games in a subfolder called Fighters. If I export this plan repeatedly without making any changes, every second time I run it, it deletes all the cores/roms/mras, and every other time it adds them back.

Just ran it for the 4th time:

and here's my _Arcade contents now (empty):

Just triple-confirming. Ran it for a 5th time (no changes to plan):

and the files are there now:

Running a 6th time: they're gone again

By the way, this is all on Space mode (edited title to reflect this)

Additional info: when I edit games between exports, it seems to add newly added ones, but delete the ones that were added the previous time.

Can you go to Catalog > Open Folder. Then go up one folder and there should be files named "export-log--exportToMister...". Can you zip them all up and attach them here?

[matijaerceg]

The only files in the entire AppData > Roaming folder I see that contain the word log in filename are:

I clearly need to test on Windows more :)

I know what this is. This is due to Jotego dropping the dates from his core names. That broke AMMister and my fix was not good enough. Let me think a bit.

haha yeah, gonna be lots of us windows dummies using this I bet

Do you mostly use linux for daily use / testing?

[city41]

Yeah I use Linux. Thankfully OS specific issues are usually rare. Although that one you found where you can't edit the directory name, that seems like a bug in Windows itself. Not sure yet what I'll do about that one.

[matijaerceg]

That one seems pretty edge case, wouldn't worry about it too much

The fix for this will be in 0.25.3 once it shows up. I also added an integration test to help ensure this doesn't happen again.
