Hi everyone just wanted to follow up that this entire thing was caused by my download manager pulling the web url directly from archive.org instead of as a package like normal. So this is a non-issue. I did learn about unicode a lil bit tho 🤖

This is also affecting the Image Pack import process, apparently with other characters, too.

Had an issue where every instance of a game using a colon was unable to pull metadata from the Launchbox DB. Diving into it, it looks like the NES2.0 set I downloaded (which I believe came directly from archive.org) uses the unicode U+FE55 "small colon" instead of the more universal unicode U+003A "colon". Manually changing the colon and performing a metadata search inside the Edit dialog seems to be the workaround.

I would absolutely love this feature and I really hope someone is taking note. This is like the fourth or fifth thread on this I've seen here and on reddit.

This is a feature I'd love to see implemented. I'd love to have a playlist nested under a platform, but be able to "hide" the games in that playlist from the normal game list. It's a much cleaner look, I feel. I've been trying to come up with a suitable workaround but haven't been able to come up with anything close to what I'm envisioning.

Let me know if you'd like some help. Been wanting something like this for a while. The lack of consistency across art packs is disappointing. I think striving for accuracy is the most important thing, but that's just me.
