LaunchBox Database Matcher 2 1.0.2

This is incredibly useful for all the homebrew and romhacks I added forever ago that have since been added to the database. Just found a ton of Game Boy stuff that has been unmatched for years at this point.

I just noticed that after running a search for database matches and going through the list to uncheck the ones I don't want, it still seems to assign those after I click Auto-Assign. Currently it says Checked/Ready to Assign 4, I unchecked 2 of them and when I hit Auto-Assign it still says 4 were assigned.

Thanks I'll take a look. Just to confirm, does it show the new title if you go to that particular game right click/edit metadata? If it's unchecked. It shouldn't apply any that aren't checked, even though it shows the new matched title in the plugin. So might be a bug if so.

I am incredibly angry trying to get this even show up. Ill agree im not very informed but I cant for the life of me see anything different. Just the normal audit function. What am i doing wrong?

Assuming your running the latest launchbox version and on windows? As long as you place the plugin folder in the correct folder: launchbox\plugins\LaunchBox.DatabaseMatcher\LaunchBox.DatabaseMatcher.dll it should appear. 
If not you may have got a security warning. If so, right click on the plugin.dll in the folder and choose properties. then check the little "unblock" box. then restart launchbox. check windows defender isn't interfering also.
In launchbox check Tools/Manage/Plugins. See if it appears there and is enabled. It should appear here:

Turns out because of the (OR) condition, if a game's confidence score was above the threshold (e.g. 85%), it evaluated to true. As a result, even if you manually unchecked the box , it ignored the checkbox state and assigned the match anyway. The Checkbox is now the Single Source of Truth and overrides the initial search match. So should be fixed now. let me now.

Great! Ill give it a look after i get the kids to bed tonight. This sort of thing is a must have for anyone who has been curating a collection for years. You are bound to have unmatched stuff lying around you would normally overlook. 

Hello jpcheat.

I have the same issue that hapnlater has. I´ve followed your explanations. I have unblocked the archive and is in the correct folder. but it doesnt show up in tools

I´m running windows 10 with launchbox 13.27

 

Thanks a lot

 

@espidie79 you say you've unblocked the archive? Do you mean you've extracted the zip archive into the correct folder and unblocked the dll in properties? Wondering if it's a windows 10 thing. Will look into it. I'm only running windows 11 so that's the only other thing I can think of as to why it's not showing up for you. Try adding the entire launchbox folder as an exception in windows defender.

Update: the latest beta of Launchbox runs on .net 10, so this plugin is written for Launchbox 13.28 (.net 10.0). Launchbox 13.27 is still running .net 9.0. So I've now built it in .net 9 for compatibility. with the latest stable version. I think that was the issue. Windows 11 installs .net 10 with windows update so guessing that was why it worked on other peoples. So try v1.02 now and see if it now works for you.

Works perfectly now. I was able to uncheck all the ones I didn't want and it didn't assign others.

If I had one more suggestion it would be to allow sorting in the checkbox column. I went through a large platform and wanted to easily see what was checked before I went through with it but clicking that header didn't seem to do anything.
