    It's probably worth noting that the Windows game search is intended to be "any games installed in Windows" whether they are true Windows games or not. I should probably clarify that in the wizard.

    Great, Hippyshake! Thanks for that. I'll look at the results and see what I can fix. My gmail is jasondavidcarr. Per the Edit button, I'll look to see if I can change that, I have an idea. :)

    Alright, I have a new beta out. I've improved the Windows search a bit; it should no longer show duplicates, and favors using links instead of direct EXEs. I still have some more testing to do with GOG games, but hopefully that is working well enough. All my Origin games were found, so that's good. Let me know of any other findings. :)

    Hi DOS, I believe this is just because when the platform is specified on a game, the default emulator for that platform is automatically assigned. You can change it easily enough, though; you're not restricted to only using that emulator. You can change which emulator is the default for which platform on the Emulator Edit screen, in the grid of platforms.

    Hippyshake said Is there no edit button on posts, or am I just missing it? There should be an Edit button in the top right hand corner of the posts, next to Quote and Report. Is it not there for you?

    Okay, thanks Martin. I'll see if there's anything I can do to fix it.

    That's not to say we can't make it smarter though, like checking to see if it's legitimately Steam or not via other measures. So we'll massage it as best we can.

    SentaiBrad said Can we have a list of excluded .exe names and extensions like when we import DOS games? We certainly could, but it would be much less effective in this scenario. For example, there are games called "Steam", so we probably wouldn't want to exclude "Steam". The only reason non-games are showing up is because there are legitimate games with that name.

    Hippyshake, for some reason I just caught the stuff about the different drive; missed it the first time. The search uses your Start menu, so I'm guessing you have a bunch of old, bad links either in your Start menu, or in the Windows Games Explorer. Still, that's a good point, I should check to make sure that the files actually exist.

    Boom, fixed. The fix will be in the next beta. :)

    Good find, scree! I must have introduced that bug when I made the app localizable for 4.7. I'll get it fixed.
  12. Jason Carr
    Hehehehehe, yup...sounds familiar.
  13. Jason Carr
    Hi Hippyshake, unfortunately I think the Windows search will have to just assume that everything it finds is a Windows game. Obviously GOG's collection is split between both. That's a good point about GOG; I'll see if I can address that, thanks.

    Hehehehe, yup...added some fun ranks: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/rankinfo Glad to here things are working for you. :)

    Lols.

    It also doesn't make sense why it would take 3 minutes for you to come here, as the site is loading pages quickly for me. @scree are you seeing slow load times?
  17. Jason Carr
    Odd, I don't understand that. I'm able to download the whole file in 2 seconds flat. What link are you using to download?
  18. Jason Carr
    Great idea Duck, will do. :)
  19. Jason Carr
    Wow, you go way back Hippyshake. Interesting about your collection too. I do somewhat of the same thing, I'll collect something for a few months and then ask myself what I'm doing...and just stop. Lol. Kriven, I actually remember SkiFree for Windows 3.1. It's embarrassing how many hours of my childhood were wasted on that amazingly stupid game. Ha.
  20. Jason Carr
    Hi guys, sorry for the trouble. I did run into issues a day back or so and ended up restarting the server. Do let me know if you see any further issues. :)
  21. Jason Carr
    Good to know, Kriven, thanks. Of course, let us know if it ever happens again. I saw mostly the same thing with somebody else who had no games installed at all; it's pretty strange. What's really odd is that it's only affecting an extremely small number of users, so it's really hard to figure out and get fixed.
  22. Jason Carr
    We could, but you can do that already, really. The status is updated during the import processes, so you can usually either filter on that, or at least sort by the most recently added games. Then of course you can batch edit.
  23. Jason Carr
    Hmm, that's odd that it went away later on. Now I'm really confused... ;) I guess, let us know if you figure anything out or if it happens again.
  24. Jason Carr
    Of course, Hippyshake, no offense taken. I really do appreciate all the feedback. You can rest assured that I won't ever be offended by good feedback. :) That'll be a great help. Take note though that you can just use a separate LaunchBox install, so there's no need to wipe your collection. I'm mostly interested in the games that it doesn't find, but the non-games could certainly prove useful as well. Much appreciated.
  25. Jason Carr
    Thanks, Hippyshake. I organize my collection that way too (Windows, MS-DOS, etc.), so that's one thing I'd like to see too. Unfortunately, though, we're still somewhat limited by TheGamesDB, as they currently only have PC. I'm hoping that this all will be solved eventually with a new metadata/images system.
