I ran into an odd issue when updating a new item from a data
source. It seems to affect:<br>
<br>
1. any game entered with just a title<br>
2. multiple possible matches in the data source<br>
3. running an update against mobygames<br>
<br>
As an example, I created a new entry names Zool 2, a Jaguar game
(among other platforms). When I update the entry against mobygames,
it takes about 30 seconds to return a list of matching games. When
updating a list of new games, that adds up to an awful lot of time
spent waiting on search results.<br>
<br>
Couple additional notes:<br>
<br>
1. This is MUCH slower than searching for a game using the Internet
Search feature. Not sure why the search behavior from the update
process would be so much slower.<br>
<br>
2. Once the matching game/platform are selected, it completes the
update quickly, so this only seems to affect searching, not pulling
data for a particular game.<br>
<br>
Any ideas what might be causing this?<br>

try.<br>

<div> is there a way to batch add items in tellico? Eg.,
I already have a list of, let's say, 100 games that I
want to add. Currently, I'm searching, selecting, then
adding them one at a time. Instead of that, is there
some way to just feed it a list of titles and let it do
the searching and adding automatically?</div>

<div>Books can do that with adding multiple ISBNs at a time,
for certain data source. But that's about the extent of
batch addition.</div>

<div> or perhaps feed it a list of titles that it just
adds with no additional data, then use update sources on
all of them?<br>

<div>Sure, just import a text file, single title per line,
as a CSV. Then select multiple items and update from data
source.</div>
