Describe the bug
The width setting of the grid is not adopted.

To Reproduce

1. I start the PinCab.Configurator.exe
2. I start the Databasebrowser
3. I maximize the Databasebrowserwindow (3840x2160)
4. I change the width of the grid for DatabaseGridColumnWidths and RelatedGridColumnWidths to
   "DatabaseGridColumnWidths": [
   539,
   770,
   402,
   74,
   100,
   126,
   140,
   331
   ],
   "RelatedGridColumnWidths": [
   539,
   770,
   402,
   74,
   100,
   126,
   140,
   331
   ]
5. I close the Databasebrowser and the Pincab.Configurator.
6. The databasebrowserprefs.json were correctly written.
7. I begin again with step 1, the grid was reset and the new settings were not applied. As I exit the program the settings are back to
   "DatabaseGridColumnWidths": [
   194,
   57,
   338,
   53,
   67,
   92,
   56,
   59
   ],
   "RelatedGridColumnWidths": [
   52,
   37,
   45,
   53,
   67,
   73,
   56,
   47
   ]

It's the same, when I start the program as admin.
I use Windows 10 Pro 20H2 with all actual updates (Build: 19042.746).

Normally I have set my monitor to 150% scaling (Work-PC). But I tested it also with 100% setting. The same issue happened.

Stumbled upon this app, which seems useful, but can't start it.

The database manager has some useful information such as Author and sometimes better table descriptions and data we could put into the comments field.

Implement the auto fill feature similar to the Ipdb Fill Function in the Add/Edit Game screen.

Perhaps hinge on the source url to be filled in to get the data as that could be the key to lookup the table information. For instance if a table came from vpinball.com and the vpinball.com/downloads/... was filled in, we could look it up in the database from that url key to fill in missing fields.

Provide a popup window to select which field data to keep, and to save those preferences.

All game adds/edits to the pinup database in the game manager.

Implement the record an individual table

• Turn off exclusive full screen for the user automatically
• Run FFMPEG commands automatically for the defined screen layouts
• Option to run the front end's capture mechanism (if a command line switch is available for the front end) instead of ffmpeg
• Move the resulting files automatically to the appropriate front end media folder with the table name as the file name

Implement the Launch Game feature

• Option dialog to go into the F6 Camera/Light/Orientation edit mode right away that lets you change the screen orientation
• Option to go into launch table mode (F5)
• Option to launch using the front end if it supports it (for instance pinball X supports commandline switch driven launching)

It's annoying to have to operate your pincab on the side (landscape). It would be nice if the program switched to portrait mode when the application is launched, and reverts back to landscape mode after the program is closed (or if a recording / launch table action is performed).

Auto populate the Pinball FX3 lists

For all media that is found for a game, preview it within embedded web browser

Notify user if the game database was edited outside of the program.

Only valid for PinballX / PinballY

Perhaps a better choice is to add all extra metadata to external .json files instead of piggybacking on the database.xml files in PinballX/PinballY

1. Hook into GameEx FTP if the user is a member (must have GamEx subscription)
2. Hook into user defined list of mega links
3. Option to right click a missing media cell and it will automatically popup a browser to search for that media in google or the database manager

Add function to rename a table, and have it rename all corresponding files (All media, Backglass directB2s file) so that when you name your tables with the version # of the table all the media comes along with it.

Scenario:

1. You have version 1.1 of a table. Example "Tales of the Crypt (Data East) 1993 v1.1.vpx"
2. Game manager notices newer version is available (1.2 for instance).
3. We want to rename Tales of the Crypt (Data East) 1993 v1.1 to Tales of the Crypt (Data East) 1993 v1.2 and have all media and backglass rename with that change.
4. Then we would download the new version and overwrite the V1.1 version with the V1.2.vpx file.

There may be a better workflow for updating tables, but this is the initial workflow I was planning on.

Feature should popup a window asking you to checkmark (or check all is the default) of all the media, b2s that it found that it will rename to make it more flexible.

At the moment only mediafiles from vpforums are insert in the database.
It would be nice, if other ressources would be added like Popper-mediadatabase or MEGA-accounts from different users.
I upload my mediafiles (at the moment nearly 9.000 files) to MEGA and Popper.
So if it is possible, ask David Paiva (nailbuster) to import links from Popper. And I can give you the links to my MEGA-account.

Detect games that have not been added by detecting the type of system you are adding a game from (Future Pinball, Virtual Pinball) so that you don't have to browse the entire folder list when adding new games

Add a clone game entry option to the game manager that does the following:

1. Creates a new entry into the game database
2. Copies the B2S if there is one (VP only)
3. Copys any media attached to the game

Idea is if you want to keep multiple similar variants of a game on the system (same wheel image, etc) that it allows for easy setup of the clone. For instance you maybe want to keep two different versions of the same table (1.1 and 1.2 versions for instance).

Add a notification to the end user that an update is available from Github.

The database manager searching is a bit slow. See if it can be optimized.

Table Audit Feature:

1. Show games with updates
2. Show .vpt / .fpt / .vpx files in the folders but not present in the selected database selection (games not yet added to the database)

On very large 4k screens the font is small, make all windows dynamically size

Add interactions with VPDB.io database to database manager

When deleting a game, we ask to cleanup the b2s and table file if you want to. But should also include the table media.

Right now you have to audit the media items afterwards to find out the media items are "stranded" and not used anymore.

Implement the outdated table notifications based off of tracked download Url compared to the database's create date timestamp marker

Maintain an install time of the table in a local database (extra fields in PinballY/PinballX XML, and already a field in PinUpPoppers Games table), so you can compare the last updated date/time stamp in the pinball game database to see if updates to a table are available.
