      Hey Guys,

      I was getting frustrated creating gamelist by hand. And scraping is great .. but doesn't work for everything. So ... I decided to code my own gamelist XML editor today. Take a look ... let me know what you think. Give me some ideas for improvements.

      video demo (click the video and then select HD - you can pop the video to full screen to see better)

        @dunnieboy cleaned up a few bugs with formatting ... nearly complete.

          @dunnieboy Just as a question, why not contributing to one of the existing windows based editors instead of writing a completly new one?

              @Dukafleed .... sure thing ... if you can give me specifics that would be great. Right now if there is any missing data you can always add it ... or are you thinking about additional data?

                @daeks ... really the best answer is because i like to make my own interfaces that are simple and do what i need them to do ... i used to be a software design engineer in my past life ... so this is kinda a fun hobby for me. Also ... i dont know what is currently available. :-D

                  This. This is why we have like a bazillion metadata editors ;) hopefully your tool consolidation post will help with that @daeks
