What's new in Game Collector for Windows?
Big changes today! The Add Games Automatically screen has been completely re-designed, to make it both easier-to-use and easier-on-the-eye (and it’s now called “Add Games from CLZ Core”):
- A simple two-panel design: Search Results on the left, Preview on the right.
- The Search Results now show cover images for every game.
- Automatic Preview of selected result (no more double clicking).
See it in action:
Here’s the full list of improvements:
Add by Title improvements
- Automatic Preview of selected result (no more double clicking).
- Can’t find your game? Choose “Add this game anyway” at the bottom.
Add by Barcode improvements
- Barcode Queue and Search Results are now integrated into one list.
- Scan or type a barcode and press “Search CLZ Core” to add it to your queue and instantly search it.
- Barcodes added to the queue instantly show title, platform, barcode and a cover image.
- Use “Add [x] games” on the bottom left to add all games.
- Use “Add [game title]” on the bottom right to add the selected game only.
- To remove a barcode from the queue either
- Right click the queue to delete selected entries.
- Hover your mouse over the cover image and click the small “remove” icon.
- Press “delete” on your keyboard.
Other changes
- Add button now pops up a small “Add to Collection” vs “Add to Wish List” menu.
TIP: you can disable this using the “Adding to Collection/Wish List” option in “Tools > Options > Add/Update Games from CLZ Core”. - Keyboard shortcuts:
- ALT+A to add current selected result
- ALT+C to add checked results (only in “by Barcode” tab)
- Use the “hamburger menu” top right to:
- Connect to CLZ Barry
- Open the Webcam scanner
- Find OPN-2001 or Flic scanner
- Configure CLZ Core settings
