Ah gotcha, what are hoping to see logged into that page that you don't now?

Also worth noting that some browsers do allow you to drag/drop from them, and when doing so they create temp files. We've seen in the past though that those files are then deleted before the user presses OK to save, and it makes the save fail so the picture looks like it isn't importing (because it isn't). Could you make sure that isn't the cause?

If you mean inside of Big Box then go to Options Views and disable "Show Favorited Games First"

It isn't exactly what you are hoping to do (which as @Retro808 stated, isn't currently possible) but you could potentially put another playlist at the same level of the translations and hacks that is all the games NOT in those playlists.

Emulator information is stored in Emulators.xml in the \\LaunchBox\Data\ folder. You will need to confirm in your copy that it got moved. Also if you have backups enabled you can go to your \\LaunchBox\Backups folder and open the most recent from in there and restore the files in that 7z archive to the \\LaunchBox\Data\ folder.

Can you take a screenshot of the window you are having issues with?

Thanks for that, I had my suspicions but was looking to confirm.

Not a problem you're not the first person I've seen with that issue. Do you know off hand how those files got in there? I'd be curious if we can find a common cause that we could potentially see about fixing or improving.

Hey @Johnny T could you take a look in your \\LaunchBox\Data\ folder and tell me if you have any sort of backup files in there? We typically get these type of reports when users have extra data files in that folder that don't really belong there. If you're not sure feel free to PM me a screenshot.

Are you importing files or third party games (Steam, GOG, etc)? If file based, it would probably be faster for you to just manually add a game than use the import wizard. Then you avoid all popups as well.

Those struggling because of this issue can use the following work around: Set sidebar filter to "Platform Category" Right click a platform Select Add > Playlist Should be able to create a playlist that way. Make sure you set the parent correctly after doing it though as this will default it to the platform you right clicked on.

I can't seem to replicate. Are you able to consistently reproduce this? If so, could you explain in more detail HOW you are getting this to happen so I can hopefully track down a cause? Thanks.

Disregard, I was able to get it to replicate and have tracked down the source @SqHd. Thanks for the report!

I cannot reproduce this. Can you tell me the exact steps you are taking when you get this error message?

You can delete the BigBoxSettings file in \\LaunchBox\Data\ to reset everything to default

Not sure it's possible with the Windows Store version. Last I knew you have to have a cabinet code from Zen Studios to launch directly into a table, and they only give out codes for the Steam version (or at least according to their website).

You don't have to do it every time. Should be a one and done. You do need to do it anytime you use the Theme downloader though since it puts them in the root Themes folder and not the Core themes folder though. The reason it was implemented the way it was is because it works fine for the vast majority of users, and without the implement we would have had broken installs on literally everyone's install. exFAT isn't heavily used anymore, NTFS is the de facto format at this point and so we put in a solution for those users, and tried to find the simplest work around for those on exFAT who aren't willing to reformat to the standard format.

The code expects the themes to be in the original location though. The paths inside of the theme's XAML is what required that Core folder redirect thing so Cut process won't work unfortunately.

Yeah, we could look into something like that. The initial idea is that some Themes have a LOT of theme dependent art (like the original BannerBox theme) and copying that folder increases your hard drive footprint where symlinks do not.

There is not currently a way to do that. We do have a BitBucket ticket requesting exactly that. You can vote for it here

Works for me, thanks.

Yeah. I thought that may be the case. The issue is because the drive is formatted exFAT and not NTFS. To get themes to work properly you will need to copy the Themes folder from \\Launchbox\ to \\LaunchBox\Core and then update that folder whenever you install a new theme. It isn't the best work around but exFAT doesn't allow us to build the symlinks LaunchBox uses and so is the best we have come up with thus far.

@Amiiben18 Could you provide the following details: LaunchBox version, OS version, what format type is the drive LaunchBox is sitting on (ExFat or NTFS)

Could you post details of what you are trying to download when you see this issue into the beta forum? Also would be helpful to understand what version you are on, and what version you started the queue in. If possible attach a debug log of when this is occurring as well.
