Hi Max,

the only reason that kept me from using "Mass Add" was the fact that, when i
wanted to add two new games and having already 20 installed, i'll end up with a
list of 42 games, 20 of them duplicated.

If we could find a way in either asking the user with a dialog if he/she still
wants to add a second incarnation of an already installed game or not silently
skipping the already installed ones  (not that good of a ide methinks) i could
change my mind in the usability of this particular feature.

*IF* we choose to check for already installed games for reference, i think we
should use the short form i.e. "monkey" instead of "The Secret of Monkey Island"
(because it normally don't change that often) and not the description name
because i for one love to change the description to fit my personal (not yet
rearrangable ;-)) game list.

just mho

Ciao

Hubert
