Continue rom scraping from where previously stopped

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is it possible to have an option whereby rom scraping can continue from where 
it left off after being interuppted?  

I have a lot of homebrew roms/non games roms etc. in some folders which the 
scraper wont find & restarting a scrape takes way longer if it has to re-check 
all those again.

Good idea, but not easy to implement. It may take a while until it is done.

Games that are already scraped won't be scraped again. So this issue is already 
solved somehow.

The problem is that if a folder contains several hundreds or thousands ROMs 
(for example, a full SNES Romset), RCB will crash after a while, and the next 
time it won't continue from the point it finished, thus unable to analyse most 
of the games.

Have you disabled "Rescrape already imported games" in Addon Settings?

Usually RCB won't scrape games that are already imported in database when you 
disable this option.

Do you get an error when it crashes after a while? Does not happen to me when I 
do larger imports.

Oh, I didn't know that option... I will try it the next time.

No, it doesn't show any error messages, after a few hours (it takes a while) it 
just goes back to XBMC main menu. I'm not sure if there's a log file that I can 
check or something.
