game renaming fails because game title doesn't differ on the first 16/17 chars

[Ghanro]

Hi, I loaded about 150 games with the program. I checkmarked the Use Database option before loading. There are certain games I would like to rename to how I like. I renamed 4 games just fine, then on the fifth and every game afterwards it will not allow me to rename. For example I'm trying to rename: Ratchet & Clank - Going Commando to Ratchet & Clank 2 - Going Commando. But it doesn't rename and says the following:

HDL.EXE modify hdd2: "Ratchet & Clank - Going Commando" "Ratchet & Clank 2 - Going Commando"
hdd2:: partition with such name already exists: "Ratchet & Clank - Going Commando".

I did find a workaround though. If I rename the game to something completely random like - hgfh. Then rename again to the desired name, it lets me.

FYI: Found out you don't have to rename to something completely random. You can just change the first letter. Then rename to whatever.

Hi.

This is hard to explain....

Your partition name takes a few chars of the game title, around 17

In order for the rename to be valid, you must change one of those chars.

Example:
Kingdom Hearts 2 Final mix

In order to properly rename, one of the characters in bold must change.

I will see if I can propose a fix for this on HdlDump

this will be a hard to fix issue

The problem you're experiencing is a error handling code of the rename function, wich is originally designed to check if a partition with such name already exists, but this check is backfiring cause it 'thinks' that the partition you're about to rename is a different partition

the solution will be tricky

Not that big a deal. Just annoying having to rename twice. But I'll live lol.
