Suggestions for Audit feature.

Issue #2335 new
Kevin Connolly (cammelspit) created an issue

I have already been using the Audit feature a lot recently. OFC, since it is new there are some missing features I would like that we all talked about on Wednesday but other than that, it is already very useful. Just being able to sort and exclude games you already know have a video for downloading those is a HUGE benefit. The audit scan takes a lot less time than the time it would take to have the media download wizard scan those hundreds or thousands of games that are already fully populated. SUPER cool.

Suggestions for future Audit functions that would make it ten thousand times better than it already is.

Custom columns or even just a search box so you can type what you want to sort by. Mainly for tags and such that are not already included in the audit feature, specifically useful for more obscure systems with unique tags. Amiga having (AGA) in the filename for example.

Really need to be able to allow or disallow auditing the LB name OR the FileName.

Ability to output an XML or RTF file with the results of the audit. This will keep me from having to rerun the audit multiple times or keep the audit window open while I search for certain missing media or data. I could just open it in notpad++ while browsing and such.

Ability to run the audit while downloading media or metadata would be SUPER useful. This way, I could sort and do those kinds of things as it downloads media and such int he background.

Need to be able to tell it not to close the audit window on edit unless the download process is actually started. I had a case where I can accidentally closed the media wizard and had to run the entire audit again rather than just restarting the wizard.

Again, this feature is totally badass and super useful but those are the things I would like to see so we can greatly increase it's usefulness even more and improve workflow. I am loving it so far in any event. Thanks Jason for all your hard work!

    Actually, Jason showed that you can just copy and paste the whole list right into excel or open office calc and it will automatically populate the spreadsheet perfectly. I tried it with calc and it worked fine. If that makes it more likely to get some of the others then I am ok with the copy paste method. :D
