Sorry to bring this up here, but how is the Quake 2 n64 to PC thing going?
Was It Really A Problem To Begin With

The map titles in question use
special characters to appear as colored letters and symbols in game which usually conflict with regular OS expressions. I'd argue it's not worth the effort of manually adding all those characters to the tool just because very few maps, this case deathmatch maps exclusively, use a non-standard naming scheme; a wildcard character like "?" seems just fine.

Yeah, except I've already added all those characters to the tool :)

Your version is outdated.
Download the current one.
Oh

I had some version already on my system already installed and after reading about a newer version downloaded one in the original post, which apparently was OLDER. Heh. Now the names look correct :)
Maybe Shambler Can Update The Download Link In The OP

Custom Resolutions?
#59 posted by mgtroyas on 2017/08/31 10:08:11
Awesome tool. I suggest allowing to edit the resolution apart of selecting one of the predefined ones. I need 1680x1050.
@mgtroyas
You can add the custom resolution toward the bottom in the additional command line box. -width 1680 -height 1050
Not A Request
...but more of a question for MaxED. Could you add in a way to edit the command line? There are some command line args that need to come before map. I found that in order to play Ter Shibboleth with SQL I had to select "No Map" then +sv_protocol 999 +map shib1
Or is there some other better solution? I am not thinking about power users here. I recommend SQL in posts all over the place for beginners. I had to some digging to get this mod to work with SQL.

i think my issue with Ter Shibboleth was relevant to what you just mentioned.
it loaded for me ok in sql, but effed up textures etc.
then i put in:
sv_protocol 999
gl_farclip 256000
then map shib1.
then it was fine.
really love sql though.
i like the filters with the quake injector, but the simplicity/user frindliness of sql makes me happy.

+map should probably always be the last thing in the command line, so maybe just hard code it to the end?

Yeah I can't think of a reason to have +map early in the command line.
SQL Presets

While I would never suggest making this great lil' program complicated, have you ever thought about saving more than the last ran options to your .ini file... as saved presets?
A lonnnnnng time ago I made "Modrunner95", hehe! My Win95 version of SQL. It allowed saving to the .ini file different settings/options and seemed a good feature.
As far as UI elements go it would only require the addition of a drop down combo box and a way to get a "name" for the preset from the user. A lil' bit of code to populate the box with multiple .ini file entries ofc.
I agree, this would be pretty damn helpful.
