malte Wrote:New test version available: 0.9.8
List of changes:
General:- Add action 92 (backspace) to close dialogs
Import Games:- bugfix: Developer and Publisher not available in nfo files
- set path to nfo folder
- export nfo files on demand
You can set the path where RCB should export/import nfo files in Addon settings now. Just set the global path, RCB will create sub folders for each Rom Collection.
To export your current game database to nfo files you can use the new context menu option "Export game database (nfo files)". Note: This will not overwrite any existing nfo files. Atm you have to delete your nfo files if you want to create new files (overwrite option will come with the next release).
Note to Aeon MQ3 users: The new context menu option is not yet available in Aeon MQ3. To export your nfo files switch to Confluence skin, export your nfo files and switch back to Aeon MQ3 skin. (I have to inform MarcosQui on these changes but this has to wait until the new RCB release is ready for the repo).
Note to Eden users: In normal release plan this is version 0.9.8. But I had to use a higher version number for RCBs latest version in Eden repo (1.0.0). So if you already have installed RCB via Eden repo XBMC will not update RCB to version 0.9.8. You have to uninstall RCB version 1.0.0 first before you can install 0.9.8 from zip file.
Previous version: 0.9.7
@st graveyard: I hope this answers your question
Fantastic Malte, I will try this asap. Looks like some very very nice new updates.
Malte, I have another suggestion regarding exportation (I am a game info freak you know ;-). You say you will be adding nfo overwrite functions in the future release. But how about this :
Let's say that for a game a good description is available at moby games, but the staff of that game is only available at the gamedb site or something like that. Would it be possible to build in some kind of update function of the nfo files. I mean, instead of overwriting an nfo file, or the actual game info screen in xbmc, the RCB tool checks which fields are still empty for a game, scrapes the new site(s), looks up this info and ADDS it to the nfo file. This way, we could automatically have RCB build the nfo files as complete as possible.
It is just a suggestion Malte, if this is too hard, don't worry. I'm already very very happy with the current things you have made. Just something I was thinking about yesterday.
Cheers,
Maarten
