purelogiccode/BatchConvertToCHD release

3.7.1 (2026-09-16)

A .mdf no longer has to sit beside its .mds under the exact same name. The descriptor's data file is now found when it was renamed with a decoration (Game.mds beside Game (USA).mdf — but never when the name continues with a letter or digit, so Game 2 never matches Game), when it sits one folder down (only an unambiguous exact-name match, so a sibling game's image is never picked up), and split .i00 sets are located by base name even when other sets share the folder. File names that differ only in Unicode composition (Cafe\u0301 vs Café) are treated as equal.
Ambiguity is refused, not guessed: with Game (Disc 1).mdf and Game (Disc 2).mdf both beside Game.mds, the disc is skipped with the existing "data file was not found" message instead of converting the wrong disc.

Archive copies retry transient I/O errors before the temp-copy fallback runs: a failed direct extraction (for example an SMB hiccup while streaming from a NAS) is demoted to a debug notice, and the automatic copy that precedes the fallback retries up to four times with increasing delays. Missing-source errors are never retried.
Network-unavailability detection is locale-independent: the Win32 error codes (bad netpath, unexpected network error, netname deleted, …) are now read from the exception's HResult, so non-English Windows builds (e.g. French "Erreur réseau inattendue.") are recognized without relying on localized message text.

A user with desktop composition disabled (registry/DWM tweak or third-party theming tool) got a COMException 0x80263001 from WindowChromeWorker.DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea reported as an unhandled dispatcher exception. It is now suppressed like the other known-benign WPF-internal exceptions: the window simply runs without the glass frame effect.

"The output folder is not writable" (root of C:\, Program Files, a read-only drive) is excluded from automatic reports — the batch-start probe already shows one actionable dialog and nothing was converted.

Release zips are leaner: the library .xml IntelliSense doc files (CCDSharp.xml, CSOSharp.xml, PBPSharp.xml) are no longer included — nothing at runtime uses them.
Library updates: Meziantou.Analyzer 3.0.259, Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk 18.10.1.
Test suite grew to 842 tests (decorated/ambiguous/subdirectory/split/Unicode .mdf lookup, transient network copy retries, SFO size bounds, the new bug-report exclusion).
