table column for manufacturer/distributor

[MasterTelevision]

I would love it if there was another column for the manufacturer / distributor

@MasterTelevision
Thank you for your patience. If you do not mind, I would like to ask how this gonna be useful for you, by having it in the list? Do you plan to sort by the manufacturer or something?
The next version of iGame will have some similar information displayed in the game/demo properties window. Would that cover your needs?

Hello, I would mainly use it for my demo scene collection to be able to sort by groups. But an overview of which games come from which distributor would also be a nice have.

@MasterTelevision That is a great idea. I would like to have that as well.
But I would like to have some other things done first. You see, adding that information to the list would increase the list size and its loading time. I want to implement a different way of organising the data on disk, which would make things better. But that this remains to be built and see the performance impact.
Nevertheless, I like that for the demos. I am not sure if it would be used in games lists.

I use seperate I game for games and demos.On the demos, I used the genres as the groups name .... works a treat.If I mixed games and demos together, I'd have issues :)Ivan ***@***.*** 1 Nov 2024, at 03:30, George Sokianos ***@***.***> wrote: @MasterTelevision That is a great idea.

Actually, I would like to +1 this, for a rating Percentage \ ratings in my case.......

I did a lot of work taking data from Lemon Amiga and recreated a complete WHDLOAD csv that was more searchable in the title so you had 'T100' for top 100 game, 'W100' for worse 100 game, and then 1G1R, which takes the best version (AGA over ECS\OCS, English) etc, and added the publisher \ developer in. Makes finding games a lot easier by the text string.....title example below.

'Monkey Island 2 - Le Chuck's Revenge (ECS\PAL) (U.S. Gold \ Lucas Arts) - T100 - 1G1R'

So if you type in 'T100 - 1G1R' you get the best 100 games, and only one of each ROM.........here's the example CSV line;

0;"Monkey Island 2 - Le Chuck's Revenge (ECS\PAL) (U.S. Gold \ Lucas Arts) - T100 - 1G1R";"Adventure / Point & Click";"Stuff:MyFiles/WHDload/Games/ECS-OCS/M/MonkeyIsland2/MonkeyIsland2.slave";0;0;0;0;0;"";1992;1;"Games";

I have Lemons rating out of 10, and various magazine ratings as a numeric value, so if had another column, I could sort by that too.
