Overhaul the functionality of multiple versions

Issue #6827 new
Elvis Martini created an issue

When importing games, there is an option to merge games with multiple versions. This results in a tricky situation:

  • Games with multiple discs are also classified as having multiple versions, resulting in badge redundancy
  • Games with revisions have the original selected by default
  • Merged games cannot have their primary version redesignated without deleting and re-importing as separate files then manually merging

What I propose:

  • Differentiate between multiple versions and multiple discs, but include both in the “play” submenu
  • Provide an option to default to the most recent version while still prioritizing region while keeping the primary disc as the first
  • Provide a way to redesignate which version should be used as the default for games post-merge

    Any app can made the primary version by editing the game, going to the additional apps page, selecting the app you want to designate and clicking the “Make Default” button

    Thanks, that does help. I’d overlooked that tab because of the word “apps”. Consider that one stricken from the list!
