K then it must be a bug on the Database end, I'll forward it to Jason.

Moderation reasons are in, I am unsure if deletion reasons are in. That's the rule until we have proper parental controls.

No problem.

Right click LB or the table, go to properties. Go to the comparability tab and check "Run as Admin".

Their transgressions will not stand.

It could potentially be XML corruption but a fresh XML would be needed or you need to remove that game entry from the XML and re-import that game.

Thanks Derek, I am not feeling great today. xD

When you edit a game in LaunchBox there will be a blue link in the top right that has an ID number.

Could be more of the image bug that SNES has been having. Edit one of the games, click the blue database link in the top right. Open the images for the database. What is displayed and what is shown when you click on it changes (the bug), then what gets downloaded is what's really there. I had to go through and delete what looked like double images but when you clicked on it it was completely wrong.

I think it was actually, I just forgot about it. Or Jason added it, but I don't think he did.

It could be possible that some games got lost...? Jason will have to double check and check on the backend.

lordmonkus said Just out of curiosity but is it possible to load an xpadder profile using the "Additional Apps" feature within LB ? Yea should be able to use it. I know some users use additional apps and / or command line to accomplish stuff like that.

There is no real way for you to know, just make sure the packs or the websites you get stuff from is half way decent and if others have had good experiences with them. Your best bet starting off would easily be No Intro packs. I would start there as it will give you A LOT of what you would want starting off.

Merge and Delete will be coming.

Yea it's pretty much a normal PC but you can decide how you want to set it up. I see some users work with a headless server and it ends up working where some people still need a monitor. Servers in your own home is a revelation for computers though. Very handy.

Yes you will have games that don't get metadata because they're not in the Database. If you see games without images then they can likely be it.

Yep, I think it should be called "Browser Based" or "Browser" or what have you. I think if we broke it down farther than that it might be getting to specific? Like Java is already PC, look at Minecraft. We don't say "oh that's Java", we say "oh that's Windows". So Flash and HTML5 I think would be just fine as Browser, but what does everyone else think?

He'll figure it out, he's still only 1 guy. :P

It should just work, but I am not really the one to ask about this. @DOS76 may know specifically why. My guess is it doesn't like specific commands?

I understand, but Front and Back should be split folders. They shouldn't be in the same location. Here is one of my image folders: https://i.imgur.com/2OLgQVt.png If your images are PNG, then yea they wont overwrite the JPG files, so yea that is a concern. I don't think there will really be a good way to handle that other than deleting the images that are duplicates that you don't want.

Nope, LaunchBox deals with jpeg and png files just fine. Shouldn't matter.

To your edit: we also want to implement a function that is similar to scheduling updates or virus scans, but instead updates your metadata from the Database. The only way to get the updated data is to do it how you are doing it now. However, with the cart images, they may still have the numbers if you only download them but it will give you the most up-to-date images.

Métamorphose is kind of complicated too, but it's super powerful. You can search, rename, append, add / remove etc, and it can even search in to sub-folders.

No worries, I just wanted to make sure you saw what I was saying. You are also more understanding than most users too, so don't worry about it. The easiest way I would solve this is to yea, search for the images you want. If in this case they are the images with 1 attached to them, then search them up in the folder and move them. I would personally also use a program called Métamorphose 1 v 1.1.2 (version 2 has a slightly more complicated UI), and use it to take out the "-1" portion's of the file name. You can then move them to the games box art folder or where ever you want. Since they should have the same name as the front box art images now, you can either replace the existing ones so that it is mostly cart images or don't have the cart images overwrite the box art and then you will have it be mostly box art. Either way, the result should be less holes. It's not a nice solution granted, but it is a solution before features like Tiered Images can be implemented. http://file-folder-ren.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=Download Any other file renamer will work, this is just the one I use.

fdsj82juifaa said weltall said No. The names of these images are right, because they are not meant to be front covers. Front cover images do not have numebrs in the end, but Screenshots and others do, because there might be more than just 1 of them, which is why you see 02 and 03. But front cover images have have only one, which is why they do not have a number. This is meant to be normal. OK, gotcha... then I guess I should put in a feature request to be able to change the default image to a different image. Because having to mass rename images isn't exactly user friendly to change the cart image. Re-read my post. I just posted the ticket that will solve this issue with images. The images need to be named based on the game so that LaunchBox can recognize them. The numbers are only there for other media types. If the image you want are all the number 1's, filter the number 1's out with the Windows Search function and put them in the folder. If there is only 1 image to pull from it will only use the 1 image. Also we are user friendly, because this one feature isn't in doesn't make it not user friendly. We are also totally open to changing things as we need to. There is 1 developer who develops LaunchBox and has a family, so these things take time but we still progress at a fast speed compared to the rest of the competition.
