5 years ago yea that looks like a neat feature for sure. Would make RA more current/user friendly for sure. More attractive to a TON of people as well.
that being said - a few things after a brief read through. A) it looks like its only scooping up title screens, hopefully it would be configurable just like the current to use box art instead if so desired. B) the fact it wouldnt work for history would potentially be a deal breaker - for me at least but technological limitations are technological limitations.
Finally - since you did link my request to it, understand my request isnt solely about "un" linking lables from the artwork.
I'd like to remove those tags from labels regardless. Id imagine a toggle for that would be pretty easily put in relative to that monster feature you are working on above ^ Pure assumption ofc. I dont know my head from my ass when it comes from that sort of thing :) Not to mention that feature was being worked on irrespective of my request long before i made this post.
The parser I use to add shortcuts to steam I use this glob - ${/(\s?(.?)){1,3}/|${title}|} to purge everything but the title and everything is nice, clean, and uniform. The alternative of course would be renaming every single rom but lots of them are archived and ugh, much easier to change the label of course.
You guys continue to impress regardless. The more i learn about RA through use and reading here.. mind blown.

5 years ago It was basically a "related", that's all. It snags whatever you have set as default.

5 years ago sanitize names is what this is called evidently. (looking at some other frontends and scrapers) in RA's case it would be "sanitize labels" i presume.
perhaps with sub options to omit just the region code, the language codes, or the miscellaneous stuff like (disc x)
in my case id omit the region and language stuff and leave the disc stuff most likely. Depending on core and whether i neeed to use m3u or other factors.
either way, would go a long way to a a cleaner more streamlined appearance imo.
thanks for taking the time to look at my annoying, never ending requests. I just tell myself im trying to help improve the software :) lol
This probably isnt possible, but if there were a way to untie the label name from the thumbnail name it would be amazing.
Im trying to remove tags like (Rev 1) or (En,Us,Jpn,Sp,Es) etc. The problem is, if i use the playlist file and a text editor to do a chunk in bulk, I lose the thumbnails or have to do the thumbnails as well.
normally that might be a price worth paying, so to speak. The problem then becomes when updating the thumbnails via a pull from you guys - I end up with twice as many files in the thumbnail folder and RA is already eating up ~25gb of space or so and im just getting rolling ;P
Probably no easy convenient solution for this - but if anyone knew it would be you guys.
Is everybody just dealing with the Unsightly tags on their roms?
Perhaps an option in retroarch to globally disable anything within Parenthesis - THAT would work in the overwhelming majority of cases. Gonna update that as my feature request - as i imagine it would be easier to implement and put into practice than the aforementioned. A toggle in User Interface and/or Playlists - yep that would do it :)
