"Update games media only if updated in the DB" function

[elhora]

Hello the team :)

I’m often moderate many media in the Game Database, and i often see higher media quality replacement (cleat logo, bg, etc…) or title/description changes.

The thing is that when i want to update my DB for getting those modifications, i have no other choice than doing a full complete DB download for a platform, as LB cannot know that this clear logo or this super cool fanart in the DB is newer than the one that is already on my local drive that i downloaded 3 months ago. And as i have about 50 platforms and 50.000 games, it’s almost a neverending process….

So i was thinking if it’s possible to add a function that flag when the game has been last updated on the local drive, and compare it when it’s been modified in the Game Database, so the “update” process would only download the media of games that have been modified. The downloading time would be shorter for sure, and i guess the server bandwith would be less occupied.

Really hoping this gets implemented. I feel like it’s easy for the end user to miss a lot of great updates/corrections to the DB as time goes on, and this seems like great alternative as opposed to doing a complete overwrite.
