How about an option for a movies directory, so listgen can no not to add existing movies to the batchfile?

I would rather modify the makemovies.bat file:
if not exist foo.avi batch.bat foo 320x240, etc.

or I could modify batch.bat

if exist %1.avi exit (or whatever batch files do)

I'll make the change, I'm going to release new code tomorrow to cover the changes we discussed today.

This is a bit of a not-that-important request, but I was wondering if there is any way on controlling a programs focus (at launch) from a Batch file?

i.e Ideally I'd like the batch to launch mame/virtualdub minimised so that I don't have windows popping up in the foreground as I'm working. I'm not sure this is possible from batch, it may require a program (I normally launch stuff minimised from VB)

I had added it to the batch file, just figured at some point it might be better in the program that produced the batch files, where you could just edit one ini file, and also sometime listgen could get a feature that tracks driver changes, so if a drivers status changed from colors pelimanary to working, listgen could add it to the list, otherwise it would leave the existing one.  Would also be nice for new/improved game list  in frontends.

Ok google answered it for me....

in the batch:

start /min /wait mame......
start /min /wait virtualdub.exe ......

seems to work nicely - nothing pops up (unless it errors) so it all happens in the background! If you wish you can set priority of each app too. Start /? for the full info.

NB in Vdub, you may have to open it manualy and de-select "show status window" in the options menu before use. It remembers this setting once set.....
