Option to display loose item in collection?
« on: December 19, 2019, 11:32:37 am »
Hi VGCollect team, congrats and thanks for this great database!

Question: If an item is loose, could it display the Cart/Disk/Item thumbnail instead of the Case/Box? I mainly collect loose, and this option would reflect my collection more accurately.

(edit) Since a lot of games don't have a thumbnail for the loose item, maybe it could just be an option?

Currently, item in collection does not use the checkbox to determine which item is shown. If added, it would need to be a user option.

We can count this as a feature request.  :)

The way the site is set up, the 'front view' photo is simply the default for what shows in collections. Right now there's no means to change that (hence it being a feature request).

Since you're finding many of your items don't have the loose item photo available, perhaps you could start updating the listings? We'd get a more complete database, and if the feature to change your collection's display photo every changes, you'll know the pictures are already there.
