Hi Chris,
FYI: I was just working with the databases, and found that the current database uploaded as the sample, is named with a txt extension. i.e. spiderhub.txt.

Question, does it have to be a .dat extension?

When installing a database, you are asked for the path. I had to play with this a bit.

I called it from the default folder of where Fatbomb is installed, and the path at this point is just the file name.
