Thanks, that not only fixed the problem, but improved startup/shutdown times at least 5x. I'm still having persistent problems with - favorites don't show up until I go into another category and come back - media can take > 1 min to show up when I select a game - the hard drive with the files on it becomes almost completely unresponsive while LB is running (presumably because LB is reading/writing continuously). When I force quit LB the file system is responsive again. What causes this? (eg in file system scrolling through a folder literally comes to a stop). This is on a monster overpowered machine with top of the line current gen components for absolutely everything. Should not be this slow. What else should I be looking at to get this to realtime performance again? Things look great but my raspberry pi is faster 😉

Launchbox 12.10 When making any changes (eg favoriting a game), and then quiting Launchbox, the XML file is not updating with the new metadata eg favorite 3 games in Sega Naomi. Don't see them appear at top under favorites. Select a different platform and come back to Naomi, and I can see the new favorites at top Then exit Launchbox and note the time. I can see the time stamp for the file "..LaunchBox/Data/Platforms/Sega%20Naomi.xml" is updated. But searching through the xml for <Favorite>true</Favorite> shows that the xml file has in fact NOT been updated. Getting same failure to save xml data when I add a new platform etc. Looking at the log file the only unusual entries look like this FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: R:\LaunchBox\pack:\application:,,,\WpfResources\Background.png at System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(String filename, Boolean useEmbeddedColorManagement) 2022-05-16 08:14:51 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: A task was canceled. at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) 2022-05-16 08:14:51 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: The operation has timed out. at System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.InvokeImpl(DispatcherOperation operation, CancellationToken cancellationToken, TimeSpan timeout) 2022-05-16 08:14:51 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: A task was canceled. at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task task) 2022-05-16 08:14:51 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: A task was canceled. at System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherOperation.Wait(TimeSpan timeout) at System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.InvokeImpl(DispatcherOperation operation, CancellationToken cancellationToken, TimeSpan timeout) I've tried reinstalling, no change.
