  1. QuickFieldToggle v1.0.0 View File Hey everyone πŸ‘‹ I built a plugin to solve a problem that's been driving me crazy, and I'm hoping it helps some of you too. The Problem I have 31,000 games in LaunchBox across 70+ platforms. I use custom fields heavilyβ€”tracking what I'm playing, managing a backlog, tagging award winners, marking first-party releases, organizing by era. It's a metadata system that works really well for discovery and organization. Except for one thing: actually maintaining it is miserable. You know the drill: Right-click β†’ Edit β†’ Custom Fields tab β†’ scroll β†’ find field β†’ change value β†’ OK That's 6+ clicks per field. Per game. If you're tagging a batch of games, it takes even more steps. When managing a play queue across thousands of titles, the friction compounds fast. I'd put off updating my metadata because it just wasn't worth the hassle. The Solution: QuickFieldToggle QuickFieldToggle puts your custom field actions directly in the right-click context menu. One click. Done. What It Does βœ… Single-click toggling β€” Toggle any custom field on/off instantly βœ… Create fields on-the-fly β€” No pre-setup needed, just define them in your config βœ… Multi-field actions β€” "Move to Now Playing" sets one field AND clears others βœ… Multi-value picker β€” For semicolon-separated fields, check/uncheck values from a submenu βœ… Conditional menus β€” Show "Nintendo Tools" only for Nintendo games βœ… Visual indicators β€” Checkmarks show current state βœ… Custom icons β€” Use platform icons or your own βœ… Hot reload β€” Edit config without restarting LaunchBox βœ… 100% JSON config β€” No coding required Example Use Case β€’ Play Queue β€” "Move to Now Playing" / "Move to Backlog" / "On Deck" with mutual exclusivity β€’ Award Tracking β€” Quick-add awards from your existing values, auto-set "Any Award Won" flag β€’ Platform-Specific Tools β€” "First Party" toggle that only shows for Nintendo games β€’ Era Management β€” Set console generation, platform era, lifecycle phase β€’ Discovery Tags β€” "The Best" and "Discovery Bin" for standout titles Download Right here on the Launchbox Forums, or on GitHub: https://github.com/brandontravis/launchbox-quick-field-toggle The download includes two sample configs: β€’ sample-simple.json β€” Basic play queue to get started β€’ sample-complex.json β€” My actual working config for 31k games Installation 1. Download the latest release 2. Copy the QuickFieldToggle folder to your Plugins directory 3. Rename quickfieldtoggle.sample-simple.json to quickfieldtoggle.json 4. Restart LaunchBox 5. Right-click any game Documentation The GitHub repo has full documentation: β€’ Configuration Reference β€” All options, operators, and settings β€’ My Library Walkthrough β€” How I use QFT with 31k games, including my metadata philosophy and real examples What's Next? I'd love to hear your feedback. What custom field workflows would you like to automate? Any features you'd like to see? If you try it out, let me know how it works for you. And if you run into issues, open a GitHub issue or reply here. Enjoy! Submitter idealbrandon Submitted 01/13/2026 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins

  3. Hey all, so I recently reset my laptop and I'm trying to get LaunchBox / BigBox working again and running into issues. Just some quick setup details: - LaunchBox Premium. - Windows 11. Everything up-to-date. - Regular DualSense controller. Not Edge. Last thing, I am using DualSenseX. So the issue I am having is that when I am wired, everything works fine. I can control LaunchBox / BigBox, RetroArch, Steam, Yuzu, etc. No issues. This is with DualSenseX set to no controller emulation. Basically plug-and-play without having to think about it. When I switch to wireless, my controls stop working in LaunchBox and at least Retroarch. Both LB and Retroarch see the controller just fine (LB sees it as a DualSense Wireless Controller and Retroarch says "DualSense configured in port 1") but no buttons work. Steam and standalone emulators seem to work fine as best I can tell. In DualSenseX, changing my controller emulation to Xbox 360, things work fine. The only difference is Retroarch now says "Xbox 360 Controller Configured in Port 1." and "DualSense Controller Configured in Port 2". Emulating a DualShock 4 controller also works without issue. Prior to resetting my laptop, things worked fine without having to do controller emulation. Any ideas? I am losing my mind on this one.
