You rock!

is there way to export visible game list to text file in QMC2? i can't find the option.

There's a "ROM Status Export" feature which effectively exports the machine list. There's also the machine list database since several versions which you can use to easily extract/export whatever you want (see here).

thanks for the info, but ROM Status Export saves the complete list, which is unneeded.

i was talking about exporting visible game list, e.g. Favorites.

Well, as one never knows what might be interesting for whoever, I've only implemented what's important for me . So the answer is no, but all the information that you'd need for it is available in files produced by QMC2 (besides the machine list database, there's also a favorites list and the ROM status cache - both text files).

On the other hand, the ROM status export feature already supports most of what you want, it just doesn't honor "favorites" yet. So if you create a feature request for adding it to this feature I might consider it.

thanks for the info, qmc2.

nah, it's not important, so let it be like it is now.

I've just added this to SVN r7756:

• new: added two new options to the ROM status exporter which allow for exporting only favorites or tagged sets

It was the easiest way to do it and something I could do in time before "real life syndrome" hits me again .

thanks a lot!!

i'll be able to check this functionality, when 0.68 is released.

thanks to oddi for current SVN build, i was able to test Favorites export feature.

it works brilliantly, i could effectively export my Favorites to text file. then i used Far editor for vertical select and delete, then trimming script for removing line end spaces. so i got needed output:

thanks once again, Rene!

two small bugs:

1. cosmetic bug - HTML file should be probably renamed to just File, because when i select ASCII output format, it saves just plain text file.
2. i used c:\1.txt as path in HTML file field. it saved Favorites to 1.txt fine. then i changed it to c:\2.txt, and QMC2 is still writing to 1.txt instead of 2.txt.

one more question:

is it possible to set alternative title format for machine descriptions, where The is moved to the end? like this:

NewZealand Story (Japan, new version) (newer PCB), The

so it will be sorted by real first letter, and not T in the machine list.
