Add %ROMNAME% to media paths #88

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

When "Use Folder as Gamename" is unchecked...

It is impossible to use ROMs that have characters in their names that cannot be 
used in filenames. A great example is "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", which 
Windows throws a fit about because of the colon.

If:
<rompath>C:\ROMs\LoZ OOT.z64</rompath>
<mediaPath type="boxfront">C:\ROMs\%ROMNAME%.jpg</mediaPath>

Then:
boxfront = C:\ROMs\LoZ OOT.jpg

I don't really understand this issue. "Use folder as Gamename" is just thought 
for systems that have non-specific rom file names (like Xbox with default.xbe 
or dos-box with short named .exe files). In these cases you can use the folder 
name as game name to start a search for the correct game.

When importing images RCB already searches for all variants of the game name if 
you use the %GAME% placeholder. It searches for the rom name, the game name and 
the folder name.

Could you provide a log file when this error occurs? Maybe I just don't 
understand the problem.
