### Bug fixes
* Directories interpreted as files entries could not be removed from custom collections
* Duplicate ScreenScraper game entries could show up in the interactive scraper if multiple platforms were defined for the system
* ScreenScraper API calls were slightly malformed for systems where multiple platforms were defined
* If multiple games had the same thumbnail in the interactive scraper, then this image would not get downloaded for all entries
* (Windows) If the ROMDirectory setting had a value then all custom collection files contained absolute paths instead of relative paths
* (Windows) Wide string conversions were not done correctly which caused issues when filenames contained 4-byte Unicode characters
* (Windows) Attempting to capitalize multi-byte Unicode strings crashed the application if built using the MSVC compiler

* `metadataElement` - type: BOOLEAN
- By default game metadata and media are faded out during gamelist fast-scrolling and text metadata fields, ratings and badges are hidden when enabling the _Hide metadata fields_ setting for a game entry. Using this property it's possible to explicitly define animation elements that should be treated as if they were game media files. This is for example useful for hiding and fading out animations that are used as indicators for the various metadata types like genre, publisher, players etc.

If only a single gameselector has been defined, this property is ignored. The value of this property must match the `name` attribute value of the gameselector element. This property is only needed for the `system` view.
