Errors when importing rom files

[Pacman56]

This morning I tested the “Import > ROM Files” with the latest beta (7.0-beta-8) to see if I should re-import my roms now that the multi-disk support has been implemented for a while. Unfortunately, errors appear when attempting to import my Apple II rom set.

I believe this is due to the fact that old computers like the Apple has single sided floppy drives where you sometimes has to flip the floppy disk over to read the other side (side B). Consequently, the roms are named based on the following convention: “Disk 1 Side A”, “Disk 1 Side B”, etc. If you look at the highlighted sections of the screenshots below, you’ll notice that the Disc column is not always filled-in which I think 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.

Any thoughts?

I do believe that error to be related to games that LaunchBox can't parse and combine, and Jason is aware of it as well, and needs to add in the rest of the combination rules and or look more closely at that bug.
