Thanks all, putting these in a beta now. :) Plan to put out the official release tomorrow.

Hi @safeagain, believe it or not, I believe we are missing every single one of those things. They are important though for sure. I don't think they've ever been requested though, believe it or not. Would you be willing to use the Feature Request link in the header to add tickets for those? Thanks and welcome to the forums! :)

Hi @fromlostdays, LaunchBox and Big Box will randomly pick all types of images if there are multiples. However, due to caching, some of them might not update as often as they should. But it's worth a shot; let us know how it goes. :)

Yeah, we should probably wait on deleting duplicate games with different names until after we add the "alternate titles" functionality to the database. Eventually we'll add that option and you'll be able to search on any of the alternate titles (and map a specific title to a specific region).

Thank you @80sarcadeboy. It depends on the platform; unfortunately for some platforms, like MS-DOS especially, there really was no standard physical box size. Old-school PC games come in many different types of boxes and sizes.

Hi @kmccb23, you can also do this for your entire collection, but it will take a while. Just use Ctrl+A to select all games when All is selected in the sidebar.

New beta is out guys, but all that changed is the translations for this beta. Spent the day working on two new tutorial videos for tweaking custom themes with a visual editor. Check them out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYBvzuvtZ3k

New beta is out guys with the updated translations. :)

Hi @Opaklopper, I just realized we never translated all the various welcome text to German, so it's currently all still in English. Here are the pieces that we need to translate if you want to jump on it before 6.7; otherwise we can just leave them in English for now. Thank you once again. :) Welcome to LaunchBox RELEASEVERSION!

Thanks @Zombeaver. Fixing it should be pretty easy but by request I'll need to add an option to allow for either situation going forward, so that's what will be tricky. I might tackle this tomorrow in the live development stream. @donarumo, that sounds like an issue with the VLC video playback engine. I didn't know that was still happening though, so thanks. I'll see if I can fix it tomorrow. Do try switching to Windows Media Player though to see if it's fixed for you, per @Rincewind. :)

Thank you all! Getting these in a beta as we speak.

Great to see so many great, on-the-nose answers here guys. Just wanted to chime in and say that I really appreciate everything you guys are all contributing to these forums. :)

I too am interested in this...but I haven't found anything myself yet for it. :)

Hi @slashguns04, I am working on a tutorial video today for editing the themes with Visual Studio. I'll put the animated gifs in there as well. :)

Thanks for the heads-up @master333, but yes, any changes made to the file will disable the license. To clarify a few things, we do not talk to a server in regards to the license (there is no DRM). The license file has a bunch of encrypted stuff in it that has to match up to the clear-text details, which is how the protection mechanism works. :)

Hehehehe. Just fixed that for you GammingOldGuy. :P

Hi @bookw, we do need a way to reverse the sort order in general, so I think that would be the best solution there. I'm not following your second paragraph; sorry for that. Can you re-phrase it for me?

Very cool Mute! :)

Great to hear, thanks @VACRMH. :)

Ugh, will review. Sorry guys. Good news is I have all the data so it's almost never a problem where you would have to re-do anything. I'll let you know. It may be a few days though.

Hi @kanonopc, that issue is usually cause by LaunchBox or Big Box running in the background as you're trying update. Try rebooting or killing LaunchBox and/or Big Box with Task Manager. @Jazzphone, unfortunately I haven't gotten to that yet. I just moved it up on my list though; but yeah, it probably won't make it in before 6.7.

Hi @GamingOldGuy, where are you seeing that greyed out Delete button? The web sync stuff is indeed still relatively alpha. What we have there should work well enough but I don't think there's a reset option currently.

Sounds like I've got a glitch to work on there with the resolutions. Thanks guys. :)

Generally the easiest way to figure out no images right now is to sort/arrange by the LaunchBox Games Database ID. It's not perfect but generally will find the games without images. This is a pain point right now though that I plan to address soon. :)
