This change comprises of multiple smaller changes:
- Convert all WriteToDat to WriteToDatFromDict, including MissFile
- Change obsolete Import to use updated ParseDict
- Remove all references to Parse
- Rename all references to "Dict" specific code to shorter names
- Remove more unused methods rendered obsolete by other changes
This change includes a few changes meant to keep the information from each DAT and have it retained in a single object which can then be written out in any format or added to other DATs with very little issue. This new system is much more versitile since all it needs is a way to convert each DAT to XML and then use the built-in output to output from the XML to the target format. This also gives the ability to clean a DAT by "converting" a DAT to the same format, removing any improper tagging or the such.
Basically, if a rom is a duplicate, it can be a duplicate within a system or source or across system or source, and by hash alone or by all data matching. The four combinations make an enum now and the diff function is the only one that uses them right now. If we're in dedup mode, we want to check hashes only in diff. Otherwise, we want to check against ones that match all information. This needs field testing.
This change brings about a few changes:
1) A new LogLevel called "User" that is used for non-verbose, non-error output
2) Only User and Error are output to console now, not all of them
3) All programs have log to file enabled by default and all flags for enabling logging have been removed
4) Some former Verbose statements have been converted over to User because of the shift in usage.
The next step is to include the "source DAT name" in the dupe field instead of just "false". It will still be changed to "true" on merging, however. This will allow for multi-dat AB output since each unique source can have the non-dupe roms outputted. This will require a change in WriteToDat2 as well to enable "AB" mode, or at least a field called source that is default empty. If it's not empty, it tries to write out ONLY things that match that source. Maybe merge it in to the "diff" mechanic. Actually, if it's a flag, it will just output every variant: All in A, All in B, All in both, All not in both. Pretty easy.
This change makes it mostly functional, having a way to both parse and merge in one step and output from the database. The issue is that the output from Parse2 doesn't match Parse OR Parse + Merge. Duplicates don't seem to be added in the first case and there are a differing number of roms in the second.
The new merging process is both parse and merge in one step using an in-memory database. The next steps are to get the data in this database and write it out properly.
Basically, this will output the information that's in each DAT but not in the merged and also the data that's only in every DAT. This needs testing, but it's a good start.
This code can be enabled for local testing by uncommenting and running it in place of the current code. This is the first of few commits with similar theme
