Suggestion for conversion list

I must admit that like a certain infamous user who has disrespected people's work by dismissing certain type of conversions, I too look for specific conversion types.

And I believe that many people do seek out conversions according to a particular key and here's what I think are the most important of all the details left out of the index.

- *CI* - designating a conversion as custom installer rather than a modification of the original disc's install files. Given how downright beautiful and awesome these CIs became, people may shy away from the original-media-modified type.

- *Author nickname* - as certain authors usually keep a similar style to their work regardless of game - layout, font choices and so on, when backing up multiple games, especially a series/franchise, I suppose we'd rather utilize conversions by a specific artist.

- *ALL* - only for conversions using Inno/UltraArc or having other clear-cut methods of snatching an entire game directory regardless of content. I know for a fact that these will be more popular than conversions using fixed file lists as you don't have to go through the trouble of figuring out where to add what to make sure your latest patch/DLC released post-conversion or a custom mod for that matter is supported.

As noted by Grumpy's post in the Dreamfall: The Longest Journey 6CD-1DVD5 conversion topic, including all the details like compression algorithms, custom source/program author(s) and other details might make the index simply too clogged and tough to navigate. However, these three specific tags indicate general qualities of conversions that determine their usefulness or lack thereof for the majority of users.

Thank you very much for considering my proposal.

P.S. I may help in checking the conversion list to detemine which fit those three tags and which do not. It's not like I'm asking for you to do something yourselves without being ready to man up and participate in the effort.
