Launchbox not responding before MAME import

[Gosunkugi]

I didn't encounter this issue until 13.8. Launchbox now hangs indefinitely when trying to parse before importing a full set of MAME ROMS.

I'm trying to update the ROMS to 0.260, no clones, all other boxes unticked, importing to default 'Arcade' platform. It'll bring up the "this will only take a few moments" parsing window, then after around a minute CPU processes will slow and I'll get "not responding". Obviously the job can take a bit despite the message, but I've left it for hours with no result. It never reaches the actual import stage, forcing me to end the process in task manager.

My MAME exe is in the same place as before, as are my ROMS, and I've gone through this process multiple times with no issues, but now I'm stuck.

I am encountering the same issue.

I managed to get around this by changing the name of the default platform I am importing the ROMS to something else, going through the whole thing but stopping before pressing the button to start the actual parsing process, then going back and changing the platform to 'Arcade', this completes the scan parsing and I can successfully import my games.
