List of Feature Requests for RomVault
Larger Features
- Set headered sets to only fix with headered files.
- Zip files scanned as files, so that DATs stored as file with zip files in the DAT will scan and fix correctly.
- Support Date/Times, this means:
- Replacement to trrntzip that stores dates. (RVZip)
- Unordered List ItemNew Dat Format to store dates. (RVDats)
- RVDat extensions to DAT format to support date/time and describe the file compression type in the DAT, also file order from the DAT and zip file comments stored in the DAT.
- RVDat extension and Date/Time support should enable EXO and T.D.C. to be supported by RomVault.
- Parallel File Scanning.
- Improved file reporting, such as HTML report.
Smaller Features
- Don't use 7z cache if we are only pulling one file out of a 7z.
- See if we can just rename a ZIP file.
- Keyboard only usage of RomVault.
- Emulation launching support.
- Handle locked and un-accessible files (due to security) better.
Other Ideas from RomVault Users
- Improve the usability for color blind users, for example hover-over info for the status icons
- Ability to pivot the directory tree by level for an alternate view of your collection (Ex. “Type > System > Group” piviot to “Type > Group > System”)
- Ability to have ignored directories within the DatRoot
- Safely support ToSort folders that exist somewhere within the RomRoot
- Ability to control the file ignore rules in the directory settings and support wildcards (Ex. allowing all .sbi files)
- Allow the user to force cancel scanning or fixing and cleanup the cache up to the last fully processed file. Today the only option is a hard forced shutdown which leads to the cache becoming out of sync compared to what was scanned.
- Show the file that is currently being processed in the scanning/fixing status window
- If a file cannot be scanned for any reason (Ex. permissions issues) then log the error in the status window. The blue “unscanned” status should be repurposed for this.
