Looks like the update this afternoon (13.8) solved whatever was wrong... Opened it up and updated, then my 2600 platform was missing... re-imported them the same way, and now 410 of them are found!

I've got a similar issue posted here... Can you verify the same or similar behavior if you add the files manually as what I'm experiencing?

Below is the romlist... I understand that content in parenthesis is ignored, but other random characters like ! [ and ~ could cause an issue. But of the list there, only 39 files are found. When I add them via drag and drop 1 at a time, they are also not found.... However if I type in the name, then search, they are found. Obviously I would prefer not to have to handle my entire collection this way... I've also recorded 2 videos showing this at the link below. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1mG3Fvz9XBMY4I0xYPsiF85MeocOvaESE?usp=sharing Thanks for the help! romlist.txt

Ok, a little more information... When I try to add the collection via the Tools/import/rom files, or try to drag and drop any of the missing 2600 rom titles, none of them are found via the database search... However, if I add a new title via right click under the collection, type in the same exact name as the rom name, and search the database.... it's found! What gives? Is this a bug with them not being found via bulk add?

So far the import of my collection has not gone as well as I had hoped... Several platforms are returning minimal hits in the launchbox database. Is there a master list or mame style name for these roms? I have meticulously purged and curated some of these folders, and am getting a minimal number of matches. For instance, my Atari 2600 folder of the ~422 North American titles, has matched 39 games... Just 10%? ? Do i need to go into each collection to add them all 1 by 1?

Hey all, noob here, just took advantage of the black friday deals.... I have a few questions... 1) I understand that some of the roms that are not loading into launch box is a result of the name of said roms, however, is there an option in the import window to show roms that are not found? The window has a blurb of text saying to edit the name, however the interface is empty with 0 roms to import. In the case below I drag n drop the missing rom after the initial import of that folder, and get the empty dialog. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JcKiz8cN8IhCwyzdcU-h8x1ihRIm1FCl/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iGycz4-4UQ8sdVjyiPXLgebBrRbvxZvj/view?usp=sharing So far I have been just adding a game without the link to the file, searching for the game and downloading the metadata, then manually linking the file afterwards under the "Launching" section. 2) Is there a way to simply drag n drop an image to replace the image used for a specific "look" of a title? For instance one of my gameboy titles for QIX was showing an import/japanese box art. I found the image I wanted on google, and figured I could just copy the image and paste it back into the launchbox interface. What it seems I have to do, is save the image to my drive, and then browse and find said file, and then add it to the metadata for the specific rom link. Something more akin to the way mediamonkey works for album images would be far more efficient..
