Killer. Maybe in 5 years LaunchBox will be able to stream all your games. ;)

Ha, neat. :)

Eek, you're right; looks like there's a glitch there in populating the folder the first time. Thanks for point that out! :)

Hi @alobar, so weird. Can you email me your LaunchBox.xml file? Email it to jasondavidcarr at gmail dot com.

Interesting @orac31. I wonder why the folder wasn't automatically populated...did you erase it by chance?

That's strange. Can you screenshot me what the settings pages look like? Are you able to focus on the settings at all? I don't think any of us have run into that before.

Not a bad idea, @bookw. Side bar customization options are definitely in order. I can probably add an option for that when I tackle those customization options.

Hi @scree, yeah; I've noticed this recently too. Apparently the rotate transitions for some reason don't work well with the text. I'll work on getting this fixed.

Thank you @alobar...good idea. I'll add this to my list.

Hehehehe. Okay, @garbanzo, added it to my list.

No worries. :)

Thanks @bookw. You're right, can't hurt to get more details on things. All noted. :)

Another new beta is out with some more transitions and transition options (sliding horizontally and vertically). Game details, platform details, and platform game boxes now slide by default. This beta also has an updated setup; let me know if anyone has issues with it. The installer now checks for the .NET framework 4.5 and will download and install it if necessary. Also, Big Box (and actually LaunchBox too for a while now) require DirectX, so the installer will install any necessary missing DirectX libraries as well. However, DirectX is only installed on initial install, not on upgrades (due to the system admin requirements for the DirectX installer).

Thanks guys, just put out a series of betas while fixing a bunch of bugs. @CliveBarker, hopefully I've fixed those bugs you just reported; let me know if not. @scree, I've fixed the issue with saving the sound settings as well. The sound stuttering should be pretty rare, but it's driving me nuts as well. I've already put a ton of time into fixing it, but haven't gotten anywhere. I'll have to keep researching that one.

Hehehehe. @Klamp and @Wattoo, we'll need to coordinate updates on the French translation so that we're not all updating the files at the same time. I'll hold off on fixing anything until I hear back from you guys. @Klamp, if you want, you can download the latest French translation files here to fix things: http://api.launchbox-app.com/DownloadLanguage.ashx?l=fr-FR Just let us know if you're working on it so we can hold off while you do.

Hi @LJKO, you can customize the sorting by using the "Sort Title" field on games. It might take some tinkering, but you should be able to get the games to sort how you want.

Hi @Angelwork, I just re-sent your license file. @ferroman, thanks for the purchase. I just re-sent your license both with the automated system and my personal email; hopefully you receive it. Let me know.

Either way works. If you can just send me a list of issues I can get them fixed. :)

So sorry @Wattoo. We've been communicating via email so I got confused. I meant to refer to you instead...whoops. Yes, I used your translation. I've only received yours.

Will do, Clive. Pretty much everything in Big Box is in the Strings file. Thanks. :)

Hi @linrom, welcome. You're correct; LaunchBox currently doesn't support that situation well. I have a fix for that on my list. :)

All, just one more heads-up. Before the 5.0 release there will be a few small release notes that will need translated. If we can't get them in, it's not a huge deal, but hopefully we can. I keep putting off the 5.0 release, but I expect that it should be out in a couple weeks.

@Klamp, can you translate these for the setup? WelcomeLabel1=Welcome to the [name] Portable Setup Wizard WelcomeLabel2=This wizard will install [name/ver] on your computer.%n%nPlease note that LaunchBox is a portable application; the installer will not touch any files outside of the destination folder.%n%nStart menu icons will be created if not deselected in the wizard. ClickNext=Please click Next to continue, or Cancel to exit the wizard. ExitSetupMessage=The setup process has not completed; LaunchBox has not been installed.%n%nYou may run the setup again at another time to complete the installation. Do you wish to exit the setup? LicenseLabel=Please read the following license agreement. LicenseLabel3=You must accept the terms of this agreement before continuing with the installation. SelectDirLabel3=Please do not install LaunchBox into your Program Files folder; it will not function properly. SelectDirBrowseLabel=%nLaunchBox is a portable application and must be installed to a location with full write permissions for your user account.%n%nIf you use Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive, we would suggest installing LaunchBox there.%n%nOtherwise, your user folder (default) or your Documents folder are good options.%n Website=%1 Website Forums=%1 Forums Wiki=%1 Wiki CreateDesktopIcon=Create &desktop icons Ignore what's to the left of the = sign; that's just the ID of the string. Thank you!

Hey guys, I just put out a new beta with the updated Spanish translation (thanks to @CliveBarker) and the new French translation (thanks to @Klamp). @Klamp, we'll need to review all of the forms to check for overlapping elements, etc. Give it a review if you can and I can fix whatever needs fixed. :) @PattersonCZ, I just created a new set of translation files for Czech: http://api.launchbox-app.com/DownloadLanguage.ashx?l=cs-CZ Thanks much and I'll look forward to adding the Czech translation. The instructions for everything are at the beginning of this thread. :)

Also, just put out another new beta with the updated Spanish translation and the new French translation.
