Request for "Show Games" and request for choice of names by "Default" or by "Region" when importing games or downloading and replacing metadata.

Issue #5786 resolved
Hernán Lobo created an issue

Hello, very good day. First of all, I am using a translator, so I hope I can make myself understood.
I would like to request, if possible, that two types of functionality be added to the LaunchBox.

[SOLVED]1)_ The first is very simple. It is to show only imported games that "do not" have a front box, or videos, or banners, or logos, or media related to the database. Currently there is a function that is Hide, I ask that it also be shown. I think that would make it easier to find beta games with different names that are not in the LaunchBox database, in addition to being able to mass edit those games more easily, without having to move through so much collection, looking one by one.[SOLVED]

2)_ The second request is related to the existing names in the database. Previously, only game default names were downloaded, now they are downloaded based on region preference. I would like to request, if possible, to be able to choose whether to download only the default name, or in another instance, download the names according to your preferred region. This would make it easier (I think) to import some names, because some games have regionalized second alternate names, such as beta names or with kanji characters. What's up with that? It happens that being regionalized in the database, these names are downloaded and not the default name because it does not have a region. If not, one ends up having several games with kanji characters or with beta names as main ones in the library (unless that is preferred of course), so I think that I can choose whether to download only default names as they were before or names according to the region, as it is now, would be helpful for particular cases of games.

For no other reason, I hope I have made myself understood and that the request is within the possible since it is only a matter of taste and order.
A coordinated greeting and thanks for this magnificent program.

    Hello Hernan, Number 1 in your request is already doable inside of LaunchBox. In the filter on the left instead of the default “Platform” select “Games Missing Media” and then pick the image type that you are looking into.
