Can't add item already existing LB DB to Launchbox

[Skyroller]

Hi,

I'm trying to add the game "Shantae Advance" to my LB collection. Here it is in the Launchbox database:

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution - LaunchBox Games Database

However whenever I am actually in Launchbox, I can't seem to find this game when I search for metadata and media. I've searched the full title, and even just "Shantae" and can't find it. The database is fully updated on my end. What gives?

Did any of the other platform versions/ports show up with just "Shantae"?

 

I just tried it, and it was found here.  This is what I did:

• Clicked on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance platform
• went to Tools < Import < Manually Add Game... (actually I just pressed Ctrl+N. Same thing).
• typed in "Shantae" (without quotes) and pressed Enter

It didn't work, then I forced Launchbox to update the metadata again and this time it did work (even though LB updated the metadata maybe 5 hours ago). Maybe it was just added? Anyways, issue is resolved, thank you.
