Frontend agnostic. Merger - merge downloaded updated content into your collection. Apply criteria to automatically ignore certain files - e.g. older files, too small, adult content, etc. Applies fuzzy logic algorithms to match the file names to the entries in your collection - e.g. author, version, acronyms, incorrect manufacturer/year, etc. Use 'trainer wheels' mode that allows you to review the changes that would be made before any changes are actually made. Automatically backup your files before making any changes. Cleaner - clean the existing content in your collection (e.g. after merge).

View and edit all table information stored in your database. Open the content to see how it looks/sounds/etc - e.g. open images, play videos, listen to table audio, etc. Supported Applications Visual Pinball X (open source) engine - Tables, Backglasses, and POV. PinballY (open source) and PinballX frontends - Videos, Audio, Wheels, Instructions, Flyers, etc. Notes By design, it will update your collection's files and database(s). All changes are backed up before any changes are made, but if in doubt please make your own additional backup too. Also, it can be run in 'trainer wheels' mode which describes what would be made without actually making any changes. Once installed, there is an automatic update option to ensure it keeps in sync with the latest version. A lot more information (with detailed instructions) is available on the github wiki. I hope you find it useful as I do.. enjoy 😀
