Firefairy Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 I have a few items on my computer that Launchbox incorrectly recognizes as games. Usually, this is it mistaking a non-game for a game that is in the database, like Atom text editor being mistaken for Atom Smashers Online. No big deal, I find and delete the entries, and I can see why it made the mistake. However, there is one item that actually has a DB entry and is definitely not a game; Paint.net, which is a graphics editing program. Is this intentional?

SentaiBrad Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 No, it's not. It probably slipped in to the GamesDB and when we made our copy it must have slipped through. Thank you for letting us know though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefairy Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Okay. If I see any others like that, I will just mark them for deletion as invalid games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hey Brad, can I get a ruling on whether After Dark 3.2 for Windows 3.1 counts as a game? People will probably look at it as just screensavers, but it does have a couple of interactive portions (including a quiz game that would be the predecessor to You Don't Know Jack), and eXo included it in his Win3xO collection, so I'd argue it should be included. Should I bother submitting it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Well I would say no right now, we're gonna probably split the Database up a bit more to add Win 3.x and Win 9.x systems. As far as it being a game? I guess it qualifies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we be able to submit a change of platforms for the Win 3.1 games currently in the database when that rolls out, or will it continue to be manually add/delete as necessary?
