Games disappearing after image update


FlickWho

Recommended Posts

I know this has been posted in other threads, but those solutions didn't work for me. In my SNES collection, when I update cover art for games that have none (from the right-click -> edit menu), it then erases the game from the library once I click 'ok.' In other threads, it was reassigning the associated platform and the game just moved to 'All,' but my SNES titles aren't there. I think they're somewhere, because when I reimport I have to select 'Force importing of duplicate games,' even though the title isn't in all or showing up in search. And it only happens with SNES, no other collections. 

Any thoughts about how to fix are appreciated.

Games should not disappear if you edit it to download new images or change metadata. This typically happens if someone accidentally or purposefully changes the platform field in the edit screen. When this happens usually the game can be found by changing the view to "All Games" then finding the game and correcting the platform. If it is not showing there check and see if you have any of the "Hide Games" options ticked under the "View" menu in Launchbox.

Hmm, unhiding them does seem to have solved the problem. The thing was, it was hiding them even after they had been assigned images, so when I did that it showed 4 copies of the game I was trying to fix. So it seems to have worked, but I'm still going through the set. Thanks!
