can't load catlist in folder view

When I want to change .ini files (catlist or driver.ini) in folder view, it doesn't show any changes.
I use Negatron-0.100.1 with negamame 0.230-1 via external USB3.0 hard drive (10TB, exFAT) , win10 21H1. Thx!

It's weird it should detect that the file has been changed and automatically update the cache.
A quick fix is to delete the following files in the Cache subfolder:
- info.cache
- info.item.index
- info.system.index
- info.version

I found it will crash if I try to use catlist/driver/mess/genre.ini. Other ini files (series/arcade/category/best game.ini)work perfectly. Maybe there are some bug with special symbol such as /\:_ ?

This shouldn't be an issue as Negatron can read any unicode characters without any fuss. You can also force Negatron to interpret characters using other character encoding schemes. Can you send me one of the files that are problematic?
