Hi,
So have had a play around with Playnite this week. Its very nice. Some things which occur to me, or questions below.
- Could we get a direct dump to CSV of the database? Should be relatively straightforward - for each item in database write fields out to text file. Whilst the Html exporter is good and the data can be scraped this way, a plain file would be particularly helpful.
- Grouping. Not sure how it does sorting behind the scenes, but from my side sorting and grouping is a case of if series present then <series>\<name> else <name>. Currently i have been putting this in the sort order field as <series>/<name> however that is a pain as you cant copy/paste from series. Grouping simly shows everything under missing if no group present (which makes sense but doesn't list well).
- On the Download Metadata option (IGDB), could it show platform? Often a game can be on many platforms, one example Addams Family, was on various platforms and finds various results, but until you download the metadta you cant see the platform (the one I looed at had GBA in the description and Master System in the image, and I wanted the Amiga version).
Thanks
