FKeys: Custom Field Hotkeys View File I found it annoying that there were no hotkeys for doing things like flagging games as favorite or broken and also that there are limited badge attributes available even in if hotkeys were available. Using the mouse or the edit metadata function when parsing through large collections for pruning is tedious, so I wrote this plugin to allow for breezier flagging while using the keyboard for navigation. This adds three custom badges (F1, F2, F3) created using "Custom Badges" by jayjay. Enable them under View > Badges > Plugin Badges. When a game is selected in the UI, pressing F1, F2, or F3 will assign the custom field and badge. Pressing it again will set the same field to false. To remove the field, use CTRL+F1/F2/F3. Badge icons won't always show up immediately. The hotkeys can be used on multiple games at once.

why latest versions completely screwed up my naming convention for special playlists like !Temp and !Hidden and !Broken by placing every single auto-generated list above them with _Nintendo All Games

https://feedback.launchbox.gg/p/search-needs-improvements Searching for “Alien: Resurrection” returns “Alien: Ressurection”. Searching for “Alien Resurrection” does not return “Alien: Resurrection”. Searching for “D” returns every single game that has the letter D in it. There is no way to search for a game named “D”. And many more.

seven years later and this isn't a thing, complete nonsense and of course if it finally becomes a thing in another seven years, it will be a version of BigBox that runs like ass on my tablet why do we pay for this

how Edit: I was able to do this by running a script to mass edit playlist.xml files to include <Sort>ReleaseDate</Sort>

I'm returning to the default theme on a tablet for performance reasons and I'm noticing that screenshots don't show up... anywhere. I've even tried deleting the settings xml files... and... nothing? Edit: I forgot to re-enable gameplay screenshots in the priorities list after doing some media updates, so that fixed it. Edit 2: No, it didn't. It only got them to appear in LaunchBox and not in BigBox. I've tested with 12.9 and 12.16 and neither the Default or the Old Default themes will show screenshots and it also appears that some other elements might be affected, because in the Old Default theme they appear as single pixels of different colors. I don't know if it would make any difference, but I downloaded the media using 13.26 - but BigBox is too slow using that version. The screenshots work just fine in the custom theme I built using the CTC years ago. Edit3: I was finally able to restore BigBox in 12.x versions to functionality through a series of fresh installs and selective copying of data files from my 13.26 install: Platforms/ Playlists/ Emulators.xml Parents.xml Platforms.xml Settings.xml

I would have thought that perhaps "none" or "exists" would have served this purpose but I don't understand the function of either.

I realize now that for some reason the vast majority it's "detecting" as missing come from the Arcade platform, presumably because I'm using a merged ROMset - so if there's no option to prevent that platform from being scanned or some way to actually audit what gets detected as missing, that forces me to have to re-scan every single other console platform one by one.

Right now in 12.9 I can scan for missing ROMs in a given platform or in all platforms and either way, the result is astoundingly insufficient to deal with the multiple issues that could be causing games to have missing files. All I see is a huge number (over two thousand right now) and a list of the first twenty, and then an option to either delete them all or not delete them all. Is there no way to mark them as missing instead? No "missing ROM" filter?

The RefreshData method words for game badges, but it steals focus away from the game list. I'm guessing there's no proper way to use the API to return focus to it?

Looks like we were able to make it happen, I got F1-F3 marking things as completed, favorited, and a third thing that I'm suddenly forgetting. Unfortunately, no feedback. The only way to see it marked is to select a different game and then come back. Any ideas on that?

Yeah, I mean, some people like to program, and some people just want to play video games. As a former Skyrim modder, I've spent way too much time doing the first one and not enough of the second.
