Games missing after import

Issue #4370 new
Alex Lazin created an issue

Launchbox Version 8.3 Windows 10 Pro 1803

With multiple platforms when importing I've had an issue where games will disappear after closing and re-opening.

Sometimes it appears as if once I click on the game for details the game will disappear after next launch.

I've had this issue with Daphne and FM Towns Marty so far.

I was able to fix some things with Daphne using import including duplicates and it appeared that mistagging using the launchbox database may have had something to do with it.

When I tried import including duplicates with FM towns it just keeps removing games for some reason.

Even when I re-scan the folder it just doesn't detect the missing titles.

I've also had other platforms like SNES in which the file counts don't match the imported games and I haven't deleted anything manually and there are no additional non-rom files.

Also titles will disappear entirely from the Audit between closing and re-opening.

Just ran a test there was supposed to be 432 games. Closed and opened and it was showing 424 games. Ran an audit, once I closed the audit without making changes it said there was only 14 games.

I also checked the XML and the games are listed they just don't re-import it just says "no new games found"

TLDR: Games are disappearing after import, closing and relaunching

    Just to update it appears to be system wide for me and only affects either systems that were re-imported or it may be only systems re-imported after April as that's when I first noticed it.

    The other strange things is I can search for titles that are missing under the platform subsection in search and they show up in search with all their info under that system.

    Here is also a weird screenshot of what is going on. I just tried to add more game & watch games, they are visible in audit but not in Launchbox. missing media.PNG
