Zaazu Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hey, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but is there an easy way to check for any new media files and have them download without adding my roms again? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hi @Zaazu, indeed. Just reimport your ROM files and any existing games will be ignored and not reimported. We do have a better solution for this coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it would be great if you had an option to check for NEW media for games that have already been added to Launchbox and media was added later after you added the game. I have about a gazillion Steam games that movies and such were added later after I added the game to launchbox. let me tell you it is a major pain in the butt going through well over a thousand games and having to do it all manually.

You have been able to do that for a long long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsiSoldier Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Ok... How? Would be really great if it was an option like. Tools> Search New Media or something simple. But maybe I'm just blind Unless you fixed the Tools>Download Metadata and Media Because last time I used that I ended up with an absolute CRAP TON of duplicate files. It was a nightmare Edit: Looks like you have fixed that. Since I now have the option not to download duplicates. Thank God.

Tools> Search New Media It is, high lite the games in a platform by clicking on one then CTRL A to high lite them all. Then just go to tools/Download Metadata and Media, choose your media and pick the middle option to not overwrite existing media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsiSoldier Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 On the other hand I am also VERY thankful for the feature that has been added to get rid of duplicate files.. That saved my bacon after the previous nightmare and now everything looks a lot better without double or triple screenshots of everything.

PsiSoldier Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 It appears to be working fine now with the Download Metadata and Media But I would still recommend adding an option under tools for Search New Media and Metadata that defaults to not overwriting existing files. It might have been my fault to begin with if that option not to overwrite existing media has been there for a long time. But believe me after that happened I was afraid to touch that one again. On the other hand if that option was NOT there then I'm glad for it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least for the past 3 years I have used the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsiSoldier Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Guess I screwed it up myself then. But on the other hand I was just expecting launchbox wouldn't download duplicates. But the feature to remove duplicate files saved my bacon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
