GameBase suggestions

Sat Jan 16, 2010 9:14 pm

This is going to be great, thanks for the latest update.

Just a couple of requests, maybe for V1.4 now I guess.:-

* Customise the number of screenshots per row.
- Some games have several screenshots, particularly multiple event games. Given, that monitors ave larger resolutions, it might be good to see all the screenshots instead of scrolling.

* Suppress the bottom tab section.
- Now that the datanbase allows multiple columns, the tabbed section is somewhat redundant. If possible, could the database hide it, the enable more space to list the games.

* Screen Layout Manager
- With the above mentioned changes, can we save the layout (eg: Column Names, Number of Screenshots per row, Suppression to Tab section) as different platforms may have different setups, and different views allow the user to save/change their layouts easily without manually changing the settings.
- When a change is made, GameBase should automatically restartinstead of asking the user to close and reopen GameBase.

Thanks as always for all your hard work! :D

With the increase of resolution, more screenshots fit on the screen without scrolling.
If you place more than one screenshot in a row, you loose space for multiple columns.
However, it could be a nice feature to have the option to display the screenshots from left to right in the bottom part of the screen.

Ctrl+D :D

Screen layouts are saved already for every database. Gamebase remembers the last view settings when reopening the database.
Settings are stored in the Windows Registry.

When does Gamebase ask for a restart?
