Personalized Report

[BlackShad79]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

The report it generates is extremely comprehensive, but when you have a large collection, the amount of data is overwhelming, requiring the use of external applications to filter and extract the necessary information.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think it would be very interesting to be able to customize the report data a bit, especially regarding the ROM status (which I believe is the most important part). For example, I might only want it to report missing ROMs, or all the ROMs I have.
I understand that part of the information is already in the fixdat, but ultimately it only serves the same application, since it’s not directly readable for the user.

Additional context

I haven’t tried it, but now that I think about it, just in case it helps someone, I suppose that by using the report command with the fixdats, the report with the missing ROMs would come out.

I think it could make sense to offer a --report-statuses <status,status,status> option.

In the meantime, I'd recommend using grep or a similar tool to filter your report files.

Yes, I’ve found a way to do that easily and without any problems, so it’s up to you. Thanks for the work.
