New since last update

Metadata + Curation

• Curation UUIDs (if applicable) are used as the Game UUID when importing.
• Tags are now treated as their own entities complete with:
  • Tag Aliases - Assign multiple names to the same tag, the Primary alias will be shown.
  • Tag Categories - Assign a category to a tag which has its own color. Tags will be grouped by categories whenever shown.
• Entering a tag name will show a list of Tag Suggestions, ordered by how frequently they're used on other Games.
• Curation Format - Tag Categories can be defined as ; seperated lists in the same order as their Tags field. Default category will be used if not present.
• Metadata Edits - The context menu of Games now contains an Export Meta Edit button. This will let you select fields to generate a partial metadata from.
  • Metadata edits are saved in /Data/MetaEdits by default. Current bug means this folder must be created manually first.
  • Metadata edits can be imported from /Data/MetaEdits through the Developer page
