Adding Multiple Developers/Publishers to their list creates merged entries

Issue #3141 new

Launchbox 7.10 Windows 10 x64 Creators Update How often? : Always

Currently, there is no way to add a Publisher or Developer other than adding a semicolon (;) and following it with the name of the company.

Sadly there is no way around this.

Steps to produce:

Let's say you have developer X and Y, which we'll call Nintendo and CyberConnect2 for this example.

Nintendo already exists in the list of developers in Launchbox, but CyberConnect2 does not.

  1. Open an edit window on a game.
  2. Nintendo is already checked off, but I want to add CyberConnect2.
  3. The only way to do this is to type a semicolon manually (;) then a space, then CyberConnect2.

Expected result: It should leave Nintendo checked off, and create a CyberConnect2 entry. What actually happens: It unchecks Nintendo, and creates a new listing "Nintendo; CyberConnect2" as one entry.

This also happens with publishers.

Edit: As a second case to this issue I just found out:

If you check off two publishers that already exist and save the changes, it creates a single merged entry also, it just doesn't use it and instead uses the separate entries.
