Manuals different game versions

Hello,

I downloaded some manuals for my gameboy games via emumovies sync 2.7. The pdf files are downloaded correctly and named after the rom names. For my pokemon roms, I have different versions (USA, Germany...). When I insert the pdf named "Pokemon - Red Version (USA, Europe)" like one of the roms is named, I cannot open the manual via launchbox. If I name it "Pokemon - Rote Edition (Germany)" like the German rom is named, launchbox can open it without issues.

How can I tell launchbox, that it should open that manual with the name "Pokemon - Red Version (USA, Europe)"? Because all of the manuals are the USA versions, so when I insert all of the manuals, I want launchbox to automatically detect that there is a manual for one of the language-versions of my Pokemon red rom.

The different language versions are all pooled under one entry for pokemon red, so I assume, that launchbox can detect that the manual for the USA version is also suitable for the german version?

Thank you!

first, ensure proper manual assignment, then enable grouped game entries> use alternate file names>go to game entry> open the manuals tab in the edit dialog, add the manual one> recheck metadata and paths
these steps might help u :v

Thank you for your reply. Can you tell me, where I can find these options? I think, I already have grouped game entries enabled, because my Pokemon yellow versions are all under one entry. Where can I find the "use alternate file names"?
