moppedz Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi, i had to rescrape my database, but ran into the problem that Launchbox seems not to lookup alternate names for my region To give 2 examples (wich are by far not the only ones): German: Frontschweine English: Hogs of War English: Pokemon Blue Edition German: Blaue Edition Is this a bug or a missing feature?

Norfair Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It's a missing feature. I think it's planed to be implemented soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 So far Alt names hasn't made it into the program yet and are only on the DB so it won't scrape them correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moppedz Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thanks guys. So i have to correct them manually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFelten Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I just wanted to report this as an error until I saw this topic. It would be great if the feature would be implemented soon. My games have all German names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Actually that feature was already added in the latest beta versions. To activate beta updates just go to Tools -> General -> Updates and check the proper box for it. Now just restart LaunchBox to get the update. If you have background updates activated you may have to wait a little because the update message only appears when the background download has finished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFelten Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Thanks for the answer. It seems to work in the beta when searching manually for a title. But when importing multiple games to the list only the english names are searched. Also it's not possible to show the alternate names in the game list. I would like to display the German titles and not the English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 As it’s still a beta feature you should post your feedback about that in the 7.11 beta thread. This way you can make sure that Jason, the developer, will see it https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/39133-711-beta-1-released/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
