Overview

Currently, syncing your LaunchBox library with your LaunchBox Games Database account only performs a one-way sync:

• ✅ Adds all games from your local library to your online collection

• ❌ Does not remove games from your collection if they’re deleted locally

This results in your online collection becoming outdated, especially if you regularly clean up or reorganize your library.

Request

Implement an option for two-way sync, where deletions (or removals) from the local LaunchBox library are also reflected in the user’s Games Database collection.

Proposed Functionality

• Add a “Keep collection in sync” toggle in the sync settings

• When enabled, any games removed from the LaunchBox library would be:

• Automatically removed from the online collection

• Or flagged for removal during the next sync

• Include an optional confirmation prompt for deletions to prevent accidental loss

Current Workaround

• Users must manually remove individual games from their Games Database collection

• Or delete the entire collection and re-sync from scratch—neither of which is ideal

Benefits

✅ Ensures your online collection accurately reflects your current library

✅ Saves time and effort managing two separate lists

✅ Useful for collectors, curators, and anyone using their Games Database collection as a reference or public showcase

✅ Aligns with modern expectations for cloud-sync behavior
