Please, if you think you found a bug, help me fixing it and provide proper information. It is explained in the
FAQ how to do it. Sorry, but otherwise its just ranting.

The local artwork scraper is designed to update your existing rom collection with new artwork. As it does not add any game information (like title) it will not work when adding new collections. Anyway, all other scrapers (online and offline) will check your artwork folders too, so it is not necessary to use the "local artwork" scraper during an initial import.
Maybe this was not clear, so I updated the
wiki with this information.

There are two options in the context menu: "Add Game to Favorites" and "Add Selection to Favorites". I guess you just picked the wrong one. Both options are working fine for me.
bred_pitt Wrote:Another bug: Try importing a new collection as described before, watch how it fails. Afterwards the game-list is empty. Exit and open RCB again...romlist is back again.
Yes, I noticed this too. Has to be fixed.
bred_pitt Wrote:Also, some games have broken names. There is just garbage between some letters in the title. I need a way to fix them. No chance with sqliteman. It's just too difficult for me to use.
Please give me examples of some games: rom name, broken name in RCB and the scrapers that you used to import the games.
I use sqlitestudio to do manual changes to the db. It works fine and is easy to use. Changing simple properties can be done the excel-way (it is all in the table "Game"). More complex tasks like changing artwork or replace developer/publisher would require some more knowledge about the database structure.

RCB writes a lot of information to the log while doing the import. Without this information I have no chance to see what is going on.
