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.
He brought this to my attention because somehow some items are getting compared by CRC only. This is wrong on a lot of levels, but this should be a step in the right direction.
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.
