Bugs in 2.71 Blanks spaces in folder names = zip problems

Post by Bug_Checker_ »

Here is what I believe is a reproducible error in romcenter 2.71 ( it may have existed in other versions but I've only revisted romcenter with this latest version).

Zip files will not be checked and an unknown rom error will be shown if 1 or more of the folders in a directory have spaces in them.

for example let's say you have a folder called "nds" (rompath set to nds)
and in it you have :
"0251-0300"
"Progetto Nintendo DS roms - pack 001"
this will cause the unknown rom error
even directories with no spaces with not work if 1 directory has spaces.

renaming the folder "Progetto Nintendo DS roms - pack 001" to
"Progetto_Nintendo_DS_roms_-_pack_001" will solve this problem with a refresh

also making rom path go deeper seems to work i.e.
"Progetto Nintendo DS roms - pack 001\0001"

until this is fixed just delete all spaces from FOLDER names and you won't have to manually unzip all your compressed zip files
