Re: progetto-SNAPS 0.164 Update! Part 2 of 2 (White)

Sorry for the confusion. I think I have it worked out now. This one left me with a headache... ;p

pS_Full_Snap_20150818_(cm).dat has the following header:
{header}
{name}progetto-SNAPS - FullSnap{/name}
{description}pS FULL Snap 20150818{/description}
{category}MAME Arts{/category}
{version}0.164{/version}
{date}18/08/2015{/date}

{/header}

MAME-Full_progetto-SNAPS.xml has the following entry:
{datfile}
{name}progetto-SNAPS - Full Snap{/name}
{description}pS FULL Snap 20150818{/description}
{version}0.164{/version}
{author}AntoPISA{/author}

{file}pS_Full_Snap_20150818_(cm).dat{/file}
{/datfile}

The missing space in the "{name}" field for the DAT header (is "progetto-SNAPS - FullSnap", should be "progetto-SNAPS - Full Snap") causes two issues:
* ClearMAME Pro sees this as a new DAT, since the name does not match, and always reports the status as "new" even if the latest version has been downloaded.
* ClearMAME Pro has the ability to create directories based off of DAT names. When I deleted all of my profiles, it no longer looked at my older directory "progetto-SNAPS - Full Snap", and instead created a new directory ""progetto-SNAPS - FullSnap"" and complained that it was empty. This was not very important, but it was noticeable.

Ugh, that one was hard to track down...
