Include Ability to Filter Games Not Connected to the LaunchBox Games Database

📋 Summary

Add a filter in LaunchBox for Android that allows users to easily identify games that were not matched to the LaunchBox Games Database during import.


🎯 Feature Overview

  • Provide a toggle or filter option such as “Unmatched Games” in the game list.

  • Highlight or group any titles that:

    • Did not automatically match to a LaunchBox Games Database entry.

    • Require manual assignment.

  • Helps users quickly correct mismatches or missing metadata.


🛠 Use Case

A user imports a folder of ROMs. Some titles do not match the database due to naming differences or strict matching rules.

Instead of manually scanning the entire library, the user enables Unmatched Games, instantly seeing which games need attention.


📦 Benefits

  • Much faster cleanup after imports.

  • Prevents games from remaining permanently unmatched without the user realizing.

  • Improves metadata accuracy across Android collections.
