Wrong DB matches: "Compare names" list when scraping

Issue #1616 new
Dirk Joachim Schreiber created an issue

When scraping metadata and images from the Launchbox Games Database on extensives sets like SNES or PS1 that include European and Japanese games, the DB still assigns erroneous information to games that are not in the DB yet. This could be avoided by implementing a check list that compares "rom name" with "name of game in DB" popping up BEFORE actually downloading metadata and images, where you could uncheck wrong matches.

I understand that a better DB will mean less wrong matches but they will probably not disappear completely. It is rather tedious to go through the whole games list to manually check for wrong matches.

Or maybe add an option "Do not add duplicate if ID already in LB". Thanks!
