Batch Delete in Game Manager?


bobbydigital793

Recommended Posts

Is there anyway in game Manager to delete entries more than one at a time?  The program ended up importing a ton of duplicates and I want to check them all and delete at once vs removing one at a time. Is that possible?

My other question is about windows start up. I have it enabled but it doesn't start pinball x upon boot up.  What else should I check?

 

Thanks

Easiest (or at least fastest) way to delete multiple entries is to directly edit the appropriate xml file in Pinball X > Databases > "System Name".

Right-click the file and choose Edit in Notepad (or a similar utility, such as Notepad++).

Highlight the table you want to remove and press the Delete key.

As an example (highlight everything from <game name="xxxx"> to </game>):

<game name="2001 (Gottlieb 1971)">
        <description>2001 (Gottlieb 1971)</description>
        <rom></rom>
        <manufacturer>Gottlieb</manufacturer>
        <year>1971</year>
        <type>EM</type>
        <hidedmd>True</hidedmd>
        <hidetopper>False</hidetopper>
        <hidebackglass>True</hidebackglass>
        <enabled>True</enabled>
        <rating>4</rating>
    </game>

Do this for all tables you want to remove and then save the file.
