Scanning individual game doesn't add it to playlist, but instead begins playing the game

First and foremost consider this:

• Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
• This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

Under "Import Content", pressing "Scan File" that has the description of "scans a compatible file and adds it to the collection"

Expected behavior

For it to scan a game into the collection

Instead the game is initialized and not added to the collection

Bump? Can i do such things here? I dont want to create an another post and this seems like to have slipped through.

Have you tested the latest nightly? If that still doesn't work, can you bisect it to find the offending commit that broke it?

[Anime37]

Ok, I'll try
Update 1: The latest nightly version still has the problem. I'll try bisecting now.
Update 2: You mean it was working before? Because it seems that it has NEVER been functional since its first appearance, which, if i'm not mistaken, was on a version 1.4.0.
I dont have any access to the versions that are between 1.3.6 and 1.4.0, so thats the best guess i can make.

@Elmazz37 Is this still an issue?

[Anime37]

I dunno, I switched to Launchbox for the front-end.

Feel free to post an issue over at libretro-database if it persists. It will only add scanned files to a playlist if the file matches the CRC in the database.

If the content doesn't match in the DB, you can create a playlist manually through the Qt interface. There's also been some discussion around having an Alternative Scanning Method.
