LB shouldn't actually crash, but Windows will probably tell you the app has stopped responding. Doing an auto-pop with no filters takes that window FOREVER to grab all the games (which it does on the main thread) and so Windows see's it as locked up and offers to close the app for you. If you let it go though it will eventually come back with that tab full of every game in your library. Is something we should probably make work a bit better, but certainly isn't new to this version.

If you're on 11.8 you should be good to just grab the latest installer and run it over your current install. You won't lose any data during the upgrade installation.

This happens when you're operating system is telling us it's not installed and so seems like you have a disconnect somewhere on your machine. First step would be to open command prompt as administrator and type the command "sfc /scannow" (without quotes) and let that run then restart your computer. If that doesn't do it you could grab the runtime installer directly from M$ here. If that STILL doesn't work go to Add/Remove programs and remove any .NET Core runtimes you see in the list and then run the installer again.

Open Big Box. Hit escape (enters you into the System Menu). Then go to Options. On that page there is a section called Image Cache. Go there and it's the first option
-
Typically you see this if the application path is pointing to the same file, or is missing in the additional app you are trying to expand into it's own game entry.
-
In Options there is an image cache section. You just need to "Refresh Platform Wheel Images" and then it should appear
-
That behavior you're seeing is almost certainly deferred scrolling happening. Are you running a theme? Another thing you could try is to uncheck "Dynamic Box Sizing" in options and see if that helps you.

Right click the game you want to add and then go to Edit > Add to Playlist > Street Fighter To put the game in the platform list simply right click that playlist and hit Edit to enter the Edit Window. On the bottom of the first tab is a check box that will place the playlist in the platform list. Check that and press OK
-
Ah. You have deferred scrolling on. What that means is that nothing will load in until you let go of the scroll bar. You can turn that off by going to Tools > Options. Navigate to Visuals > Main Window Theme > Features. Make sure the top box is CHECKED. This will update the grid immediately when scrolling and stop it from doing that.
-
Yeah, you just toss them all in a playlist and then you can either use Playlist view to see only playlists, add the playlist to your Platforms view, or add the playlist to Platform Category view and access it from there
-
Awesome, thanks for the update.
-
Typically the cache job starts when you press a side bar filter option and load the grid. You'll see a real small progress bar toward the top of the UI (in Default) that is the cache build progress. It also gets cleared/rebuilt for ALL items anytime you change the image group or box size. If possible could you take a small vid of what you're experiencing and maybe I can see exactly what you are and let you know if that's "normal" or not.

I don't use LedBlinky so I want to make sure I'm understanding your report. When starting Big Box LedBlinky isn't being told the front end was started? Not sure what you mean by "front end controls"
-
What you may be experiencing is your image cache building. LaunchBox will take your displayed media and create a smaller version that is quicker to load the next time. If the cache hasn't been built yet though this process CAN add delay in loading items. Once the cache has been built this should speed up since we just read the smaller file from that point on. Swapping side bar values and reloading the grid can take a second and will cause that fade out/in though you are referring to.

Can you post a screenshot of the games "Additional Apps" section in the Edit Game window?

Full size images can be used in the UI, they just aren't in the wheel because the load times become problematic at times (especially for older machines). Also if the source is higher quality the scaled image produced is also higher quality because it has more accurate data to use in the scaling process. If you wanted to you can change the normal image folders for a platform via the Edit Platform window and then store the non-cached image one a different drive than the cache is stored if you're running into HDD size issues. I will say however this needs to be done manually per folder, per platform so can be pretty time consuming and tedious to do.
-
In the future if you need to change theme outside of the app because of a corruption like that you can alter the BigBoxSettings.xml file located in \\LaunchBox\Data\. Change the value in the <Theme> brackets to Default and then start Big Box back up.
-
Could you two be a bit more specific what you mean by sorting them with a custom filter? Do you mean by a custom field like Rlad is talking about, or something else? How are you setting this custom filter?
-
Auto-Populate Playlists can be built based on support level. You select Controller Support as the Field and then in the comparison column (middle) you can pick the support level you want there, then in the third column the name of the controller (or controller group) you wish to check that support level of.
-
LaunchBox completes closes without an error window? If so could you go to Event Viewer and look in the Application error logs. There should be a record in there as to what is causing it. I would also run the installer again over your current setup. This DOES NOT override your data and is safe to do. This would potentially fix any issue with a dependency getting corrupted or incorrectly quarantined by some over zealous AV app.

Top Left menu just keeps closing (Odin 1.0.2.68)
C-Beats replied to Recyclebinhero's topic in Android
I have an Odin Pro and saw this issue after the latest OTA firmware update. All you need to do is push the button that is ghosting once and it should stop. I've never had it happen AFTER doing that. I've also seen this behavior both in LaunchBox and in games I've been playing so it definitely isn't just a LB issue on my device.
