[Favourites]

How do I turn off whatever makes any game that I mark as a favourite go to the front of the playlist? It really messes with my alphabetical order and makes it impossible for me to use the feature.

The only extra pop-up is the media download confirmation done at the end. This is now due to the fact LB imports a game and downloads the media separately so the extra confirmation screen was added. There is no way to turn that on or off. If you desire that option please use the "Request a Feature" link located at the top of the forum under "Help & Support". 

 

That "only" extra pop-up, gets really tedious when you see it 30 times in a row due to importing 30 games one by one.
I don't need to see it 30 times as I am fully aware of what will happen the first time, I know why it is there, but usually this is the sort of thing you have a tickbox for with "never show this again".

Sadly this involves going to some bitbucket thingy which requires me to either have yet another login and password tied to my email, or yet another thingy tied to my google account.

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.

I'm using import/rom.
Using just the "add" thingy takes waaaay longer when you have multiple versions of a game and often misses out on media when no-intro names games the wrong way and launchbox can't find it.

[Annoying "infobox" after update]

Hello, I just updated to the new version of launchbox and I was hoping there was one "feature"/"annoyance" I could turn off.

I import all my games 1 at a time, up until now it's been fine and I have 2216 games in my collection. There have been no issues with downloading media/metadata, and when something was lacking I have added what was missing on my own.

But after the update I have the following problem:

Before it used to do this:

Imports the game and downloads a decent amount of media,
then makes a sound one time and displays a textbox with "x games imported all done".

Now however it does the following:

Imports the game,
then makes a sound and pops up a textbox telling me that "1 games" was imported, and that I can now turn of launchbox/keep it on and it will download/resume bla bla.
Downloads a f*ckton of media resulting in doubles and sometimes triples of various images such as boxart/screenshots/etc.
then makes another sound and display the textbox with "x games imported all done"

So on importing 15 games one by one, I have now heard twice as many sounds, and seen twice as many textboxes.
How do I disable this? I want it back to how it was.

A "never show this again" "tickbox" would be nice.

["Platform" Category nesting and "random videos" + theme question]

Hello there!

I Generally only use the "platform view" (not the "platform categories" view), for two reasons:

1. All the platforms are neatly listed in a row and when I select a platform I get the view that I want. (I haven't figured out how to apply this to playlists and such, so I have to use the platform view anyways).
2. I don't want platform theme videos, I want it to show a random gameplay video each time I "scroll by/stop at a category).

I want to have "sub categories" within those platform categories, while keeping it the way it is (for instance if I select "Super Nintendo" I want to be able to choose between released games and rom hacks). 

The problem is (as far as I have figured out):

1. There is no way to nest platforms, only "platform categories". And when you nest platform categories it does not play a random game video from games within that category, you have to have a "platform category theme video" which I do not want.
2. You can use "playlists", but the playlist view does not show random videos only theme videos again.
Also I'm unsure if I can have playlists within playlists?

Am I missing something/just being stupid?

Also bonus questions:

My theme looks like the picture I've included, however I don't like the "series" view. And would like to have the same look on all categories/playlists/etc. Is this possible?
I've attached a picture for reference.


 

[M.U.G.E.N What is it and how do I play it.]

My problem with M.U.G.E.N. is that it is hardly ever remotely "balanced". Sure It would be hard to have something 100% balanced when everyone can make characters, but It's not fun to have characters that just inta win with one hit/are invulnerable, or just plain don't work :P.

Could I have a link as well? You seem to be great at curating in general :p.
