Import covers

Postby jwilson56 » Fri Mar 09, 2018 4:23 pm

It would be great if under the 'Configure Game' option there was a button to import a jpg file and store it away as the cover. This would make cleaning up a collection really easy as well as handling lesser known titles.

In the meantime where is it getting the Atari 8 bit covers as it seems to be missing some basic mainstream games like Anteeater, Archon, Preppie and others? The names are correctly spelled and straight forward. Just curios

It is using my own services for that. I've checked and yes.. I can't believe I don't have Archon there, but really I don't have it (yet)

Ideally it would be nice to have the option to select an image file for the cover and then send that back to your database. This way the database could be expanded by the users. This is how a lot of CD album cover databases work.
