RomSieve v1.2.1 is released. A cross-platform ROM organizer for Linux and Windows. RomSieve audits a collection against its DAT, keeps one release per game (1G1R) and rebuilds a clean folder tree, with a full preview before anything is written.

RomSieve Changelog: RomSieve 1.2.1 fixes the multi-disc sets of Redump: a set whose discs carry their own label stays whole, a disc
dumped in several pressings completes its set, and Complete sets only now sees a disc that lacks tracks. Your
settings, profiles and journals stay as they are, and a sort made with an earlier version can still be undone.
Fixes
Discs with their own label
One set, not several. A Redump disc often carries its own label after its number:
Command & Conquer (USA) (Disc 1) (GDI Disc) and (Disc 2) (NOD Disc), (Disc 1) (Allies) and
(Disc 2) (Soviet). The label split the set into games of one disc each: disc 1 was kept alone and disc 2 excluded
as an incomplete set (1/2). These discs now form a single set, and its playlist is named without the label of the
first disc (Command & Conquer (USA).m3u).
An edition stays apart: a tag that every disc carries ((Disc 1) (Premium Box) and (Disc 2) (Premium Box)), or one
that tells a disc from another dump of the same disc ((Disc 1) (EDC) next to (Disc 1)), still makes a release of
its own. RomSieve compares the discs of the DAT, when there is one, so the result does not depend on the discs the
source holds.
Complete sets only
A disc that lacks tracks is excluded. The option only counted the discs of a set. A game now has to hold every
file the DAT lists for each of its discs (the tracks, the .cue), whether it has one disc or several: a Redump
archive that only holds (Track 8).bin is no longer kept, as that disc would not boot. The option also applies to
TOSEC games of a single disk.
Clearer reasons. The exclusion tells what is missing: "Incomplete multi-disk set (1/2 disks found)" for an absent
disc, "Incomplete disc: 1/9 files of the DAT found" for a disc that lacks files, "Incomplete game" for a game without
a descriptor. A game reported as "1/9 disks" was in fact one disc that lacked eight files.
Fairer counting. The number of discs of a set comes from the DAT, so a set that lacks its last disc is seen as
incomplete. A file only completes the disc whose name it bears, even when an identical track is on another disc. The
ROMs the DAT says were never dumped (nodump) no longer count as missing, and a CHD linked to its game by Identify
CHDs by their name stands for its whole disc.
Choosing a winner by hand in the table now counts the tracks of a descriptor too.
Run a simulation before sorting again into a destination filled by 1.2.0: games kept then may now be excluded as
incomplete. Uncheck Complete sets only to keep partial discs.
Changes
Complete a set with the disks of another dump (formerly Tolerate minor disk tag differences
(trainers/fixes)) now also applies to No-Intro and Redump. A disc dumped in several pressings, told apart by their
mastering codes (Phantasm (Japan) (Disc 6) (4M) and (Disc 6) (5M)), completes the set whose other discs have none.
Only the set with the most discs borrows, always the same dump, and never a disc of another edition
((Premium Box)). The option keeps its setting, checked by default, so a Redump set that was incomplete may now be
kept. It is greyed out for MAME sets and software lists, where it has no effect. For TOSEC, nothing changes: the
clean data disks still complete a set whose disk 1 carries a trainer [t] or a fix [f].
