Quote:Why is it that this app is not updated in the xbmc repo?Good question. Always when I want to submit a pull request there is this one little feature that has to be added first. Right now I am working on full localization of the add-on and when this is done I will add it to the repo for sure. This time it is absolutely necessary because the repo version will not work in Frodo anymore.
Quote:1) A windows manager gui.. one of these might already exists that handles nfo's etc, I just can imagine with a big database of games it would be easier to add within windows and also micro manage.Two users already started to work on this. One of them (fultotop) already had a really good version, I am just waiting for the last bit of code and the permission to "release" it. Unfortunately I did not read any updates for some time.
Quote:2) emulator selection icons on startup.. currently all the games are clumped together in the default view, be quite nice for the first screen to have icons for the emulators you have installed which then show you a view of your games list.Something like this is planned. But I can't promise that it will ever happen.
Quote:3) hide the sorting filter bar along the top... be nice to have the option to disable/hide this bar, or have it be part of the side menu like in most apps, I only import the games I like (rather than have 1000s for the sake of it) so this bar just gets in the way and I often find I press up to be stuck in this menuAt least an update of the behaviour is planned. So that you don't get stuck in the filters anymore.
Quote:4) Extra info... like cheats, trivia etc etc.There are some db updates planned in the future. But it also depends on the info that is available on the scraped sites.
Thanks for all your input! If you want to get an idea of my (daily changing) plans, here is my (untidy and never up to date) roadmap: link
