Great utility!

Suggestion:

- Sometimes ARRM will download images that have zero length file sizes from some scraper sites. The zero length images then prevent scrapes from other sites. Consider checking the file size and removing any zero length downloads before adding them to the gamelist.xml file.

- Consider adding a menu option that will look for image files that already exist with the same name as the roms in their own folders, but are not already in gamelist.xml.

Example:

Assume there is a new ROM called

Switch\NewGame.nsp

And files called

Switch\Images\NewGame.png
Switch\Wheel\NewGame.png
Switch\FanArt\NewGame-Image.png
Switch\Boxart\Newgame.png

Set up a button or selection to find these almost identically named files and add them to the corresponding ROM entry in gamelist.xml.

- Consider breaking up all of the main page items into different tab pages, especially the configuration items.
That will allow the tab pages to display larger and will work with different display, resolution and font sizes a bit better.

Thank you!

Hi and thank you for suggestions

Does it occur on a specific Scrape Engine ? (mobygames, launchbox ....)

- Consider adding a menu option that will look for image files that already exist with the same name as the roms in their own folders, but are not already in gamelist.xml.

You can do that : follow this wiki : jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=retrieve_images_en

Re: Zero length

I have noticed the most zero length images coming from Mobigames but I am sure that one of the other scrapers also does the same at times.

Re: Menu

Thank you!

Hi ,
The zero size media file problem is normally fixed. See the 1928 Beta 7 version: jujuvincebros.fr/wiki/arrm/doku.php?id=changelog-en

For the use of tabs, I am considering it, in order to air out the interface a bit, but not immediately.

You can go on the discord, I'm a little more reactive there, and I've created dedicated forums: discord.gg/p7QsBTS

Wow!

THANK YOU!

Thanks for fixing the flashing that occurs when undocked list is shown and modifier keys pressed. This made for epilepsy-inducing refreshes of the screen when attempting to control- or shift-click a selection.

This request is simply for quality of life, what for me and I am unsure who else, would be beneficial. I'd like to choose what database columns are shown. So only relevant columns to me, say just title, language, region, and synopsis might be the only database fields presented in the list views. Changing column order also would be very useful, for example file name and region would be the first 2 columns shown and in that order. Just having the software remember and continue using a resized (widened or narrowed by dragging the divider) width also would be wonderful if this didn't reset every time you performed an operation (like deleting a rom). Also having the software remember the horizontal scroll position after an operation and not reset to leftmost position would eliminate repeated scrolling to resume my database inspection.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestions.
I've kind of abandoned this forum in favor of the ARRM discord ( discord.gg/p7QsBTS )
Could you create a topic on this subject in this room: discord.com/channels/418973513282486273/1019878524418523157

I'm currently working on the free positioning of the columns, and also the possibility of hiding some of them.
I'm waiting for your post on the discord to allow you to follow the progress.
Thank you

I left discord for good. I have no trust in their service security. I've already experienced enough grief from exploits of their service which even 2 factor authentication failed to guard against.

Hi,
For the next beta (2.0.2.7 beta), it will be possible to:

Show or hide database columns
Change column position (by dragging and dropping column headers)
Save / Restore / Reset column positioning
