[Feature Request] Upload new Games to GameDB from within Launchbox

[Daniel Geweke]

Hi there, I would like to submit new games for the gamedb directly from launchbox. It would be a lot easier just to create the submission in launchbox and press a submit / upload button then to fill out the form on the website every time.

There is a plugin that does now but unfortunately it causes a lot of head aches for those who moderate the database because a lot of incorrect data gets submitted.

The Plugin doesnt upload imagaes f.e. should I write a request for a real upload here or shall I write a image uploadrequest at the forum?

My personal opinion here but I don't think this should be a feature, the ability to have anyone upload anything from their personal setup would only cause more headaches than it is worth. The plugin caused a lot of hassle for the database moderators having to sift through bad data.

Definitely would be nice to have an integrated solution for sure. Might also be useful to have the ability to compare changes between the database and local data so users know what data already exists in the database, what's being updated, and how it's updating it. Additionally, they can decide if some data should be excluded from submission if desired or re-sync with the database if their local data is out of date.

From what I've seen of the plugin, it mostly automates it without giving the user a chance to see what's actually happening with the data.
