pull Info from IFDB #170

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Some of my Infocom games are not recognized and thus have empty icons and info 
pages. After I enter the TUID on the title page I would like Frotz to pull the 
missing info and cover from IFDB. Alternatively, it could just recognize the 
games itself ;-)

Frotz recognizes Infocom games by the filename of the game file.  All non-V6 
games are supported, and to the best of my knowledge, all filenames as shipped 
on any platform are recognized.  

You have probably manually renamed the files, possibly so they would have more 
readable names, and this is why Frotz doesn't recognize them.    Just rename 
them back, and Frotz will automatically display their full titles, artwork, 
etc. 

If you feel the names should be recognized as you have them, you will have to 
provide a list of the Infocom games/filenames.   (Frankly, I'm not sure how you 
could have expected anything to be done with this bug report  without having 
provided this info.)

Closing since the reporter never responded to request for more info.
