Thank you Nathan! That is really great to hear.

No worries @PattersonCZ! I'll look forward to it, but no huge rush. We'll get it in when it's done. :)

Awesome. Yeah, the options screens could use a bit of work to make them prettier/more usable, but that hasn't been the focus.

Hi Martin, I've seen that too with previous releases. Not sure if there's much I can do about it; it's a Windows thing, and it seems random. I think it only happens if focus is changed to a different window during Big Box startup.

New beta is out with translation fixes, DPI fixes, and the last transition before 5.0, I promise. The games list now transitions nicely into the game details.

Thank you @CliveBarker; I have the setup and the translations updated. A new beta will be out shortly. Per the screenshots, I'm having trouble figuring out what is overlapping. Can you explain? Good point on the Options title; that is indeed a picture...didn't think about that. I'll see if I can make that picture localizable and have separate images. :)

Awesome. Pretty sure we're finally stable and actually ready for release. Woot woot. :)

Cool; I'm not a regular on IRC but the more discussion, the better. :)

That would be awesome Xeon3D. I assume the proper language specifier for that would be pt-PT for Portuguese - Portugal? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/Ee825488(v=CS.20).aspx I can get you the files once we make sure that that's correct. :)

Okay; no worries. Thanks for the update. We can put 5.1 out soon after with the updated translation; we'll probably run into a bug or two anyways.

Ah, good to know. That's quite interesting. Kind of a major flaw with WPF, I guess. There's actually not much I can do about it...I blame Microsoft. :P

No worries @Wattoo, when do you get back? Think you can get them in before Thursday?

@Wattoo, just went through all the screens for the French translation and fixed the visual issues. It's looking pretty good; a new beta is out. :) I did notice that the AddEditPlatformForm still needs translated, and there's probably some new entries in the Strings file that need translated as well, since this was added after your translation. Thanks! :)

No problem Martin, great to hear. :) Just put out another new beta with an important fix for a rare but dreadful startup freeze bug with LaunchBox itself. The setup translations and Brazilian Portuguese translation for LaunchBox is updated as well.

Hi @LJKO, nested filters in the sidebar like that have been requested before, so they are on my list. And I always appreciate pictures because they help to get the point across much faster and easier. :)

Thanks @jadamshapiro, welcome. :) Are the back covers upside down because they're upside down in the original image, because of the spread? If you open up a back cover outside of LaunchBox, is it upside down? I know @Maddoc1007 (Martin) uses Irfanview to do batch image updates, pretty sure it could batch rotate the images for you. Hopefully he can chime in and help you out. :)

Welcome @CrystalForce. That's something I haven't done before. Anyone? @SentaiBrad?

Ah, okay. That's starting to make more sense. Have you customized Windows 7 with a custom theme perhaps?

Thank you @dirtybeagles, welcome! :) Things should certainly not take that long for a collection of 1,000 games. My collection is around that size and favoriting games takes about half a second. What are your system specs? What version of Windows are you running? Have you tried the latest beta? Per favoriting multiple items at once, you can select all the ones to favorite, right click and then Edit them. Then select Favorite from the list in the wizard and you can favorite them all at once.

Thank you @Wattoo and @AFaustini! :) I have the setup updated with both of your translations. I have LaunchBox updated with @AFaustini's updated translation as well; just put out a new beta. @Wattoo, I'm going to go through the French screens this weekend to fix all of the overlapping issues, links, etc. If you guys get a chance, if you can run through the setup program and review all of the language, that'd be great. Let me know if something isn't correct. Thanks again!

Hi @Orbi, welcome. I do actually already have both of those items on my to-do list as customizable options. I'll see if I can bump them up a bit on the list. :)

Also @Wattoo, if you can, these lines from the setup still need translated as well: WelcomeLabel1=Welcome to the [name] Portable Setup Wizard 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 Thanks!

@CliveBarker @cyanjiang @AFaustini @Wattoo Thanks for bearing with me this week guys. I'm planning to launch 5.0 a week from today, and we need to catch up on some setup translations, and we'll need to translate the release notes as well, if possible. @AFaustini, after this beta I'm putting out tonight, there should be no more language changes before 5.0 (at least I'm gonna do my best to make it that way), so now is the time to add the new stuff. @cyanjiang @CliveBarker @Wattoo There have been some minor language additions to LaunchBox since your latest translations. I believe the only additions were to the Strings.resx file, however, so that should hopefully make it easier to catch up, if you can, before the 5.0 release. If not, those features will just show in English until we can get the translation into the next release. Thanks again guys. :)

@CliveBarker @cyanjiang @AFaustini @Wattoo Can you guys translate the following text for the setup? Ignore what's to the left of the = sign. InstallingDirectX=Installing/updating Microsoft DirectX... english.depdownload_msg=The following applications are required before setup can continue:%n%n%1%nDownload and install now? english.depdownload_memo_title=Download dependencies english.depinstall_memo_title=Install dependencies english.depinstall_title=Installing dependencies english.depinstall_description=Please wait while Setup installs dependencies on your computer. english.depinstall_status=Installing %1... english.depinstall_missing=%1 must be installed before setup can continue. Please install %1 and run Setup again. english.depinstall_error=An error occured while installing the dependencies. Please restart the computer and run the setup again or install the following dependencies manually:%n

If everything else is working properly (I assume it is), then no, it doesn't really make sense for any of that to cause that particular problem. Can you try disabling both the mouse and game controller? You can do that by opening up LaunchBox.xml in Notepad and looking for the following lines: <EnableGamepad>false</EnableGamepad> <EnableMouse>false</EnableMouse> There are two EnableGamepad lines. For now, set them both to false, and make sure EnableMouse is false as well. See if that helps; you should be able to use the Enter key to change values in the options. If that doesn't help, try enabling the mouse to see if that works. By chance, is your keyboard configured for a different language than English?
