10,000. ;)

Hi advocate, welcome to the forums. Thanks for all the input. Per the secondary application, this already exists. Look under "Additional Applications". I wasn't aware that the hover details were glitchy, but I see that now; thanks for that, I'll get it fixed soon. Per the rest, all are good ideas. I'll add them to my list. Thanks again. :)

No, not at all. Was mostly wanting to make sure that nothing broke. The results percentages are definitely good to know, but not something that I can really resolve soon, as too much of it relies on the external providers.

Better keep posting and acquire those bits, Stimpy! ;)

Yeah, it sounds different, which is why I want to try it. I don't think I've ever really played anything like that before.

Wow, ha, glad it seems to be resolved. I have no idea what would have fixed it, but hey, if it works, it works. ;)

You're very welcome, Maddoc. Great to hear. The other items are on my list, but unfortunately won't make it into the next version.

Sure, sounds like I need to make the sizing more flexible. Gonna have to put that off for a future version, though, unfortunately.

Good points, scree. Added to my list. Per the input modes, I'd suggest using the custom fields for that just because it's a bit more specialized than most people would probably want. That said, the game details customizations make sense, added to my list. :)

Awesome. Yeah, the searches/missing metadata are our biggest issue here, but I'm hoping that will be solved when we finally get to build the new metadata system. Sounds like we're ready for a release. :)

Not a bad idea, Kriven, but of course this stuff is a long ways off. Still, tabs do make sense for when we get to a true multi-media approach.

Hi Kriven, I've had good luck using Xpadder. I haven't tried JoyToKey but I'll add an item to my list to check it out and see what the issues might be. Per the game details popup, I'll see if I can add some premium options there. The banners do look great, and that has been requested many times before. I'll try and move that further up on the list. When I get there, I'll look to you for some graphics. :) Thanks!

Thanks finagle! Definitely looks great. :)

Wow, interesting. Sounds quite unique. It comes out on Steam for me tomorrow, looks like...I don't even see a price yet.

Yup, in the premium version you can customize the "aspect ratio." An aspect ratio of 1.45 seems to work pretty well; you can specify it in Options under Spacing.

Hippyshake said @CliveBarker: That's [expletive deleted] pretty. Indeed it is. Beautiful.

Ha, neat. Yeah, that group has done some really cool stuff. They were the pioneers of all of it too, I think.

You know what, though, you should follow this thread: https://www.launchbox-app.com/forum/features/launchbox-beta-testing That's probably the closest thing we have to a changelog for the betas. I did just put out a new beta with that prefer Steam banners premium option. :)

Nope, not really. It would just take too much time to document all of that, unfortunately. So the changelog is only for things that make it in the final release, and only things that are different than the previous official release.

The real question is...were you ever?

Thanks guys. I think I have the artifacts on closing issue fixed. I just hide the window before I start shutting everything down, so it appears to just magically close right away. ;) The slowness issue was extreme. I actually played with it via screen sharing and it was absurdly slow, and *everything* was slow, from opening up the menu to adding a game, everything. And this was with 0 games, on a fast machine, so there was obviously something wrong. But I couldn't identify what it was. But we're talking like 5 seconds to do the most minuscule operations. The double keypress issue supposedly only happens when LaunchBox is running. So yeah...that makes zero sense. Thanks again...should have a new beta out in a short while. This one should be feature complete for the release. I added a premium option to prefer Steam banners for box art, and allow downloading Steam banners from Add/Edit.

Nice. Screw the layout...it's fine. WE NEED CONTENT. :P Just kidding. If my Dad saw that I'd be in trouble.

The other puzzling things to me right now, are these: - I've had a couple users complain about LaunchBox being really slow. It seems to be extremely rare, and apparently only affects certain systems. I'm guessing that the systems have something wrong with them, but it makes LaunchBox impossible to use and I have no idea what is causing it. - Somebody is reporting another odd situation: when LaunchBox is open, keys are pressed twice for every key press on his keyboard. Wut wut? I haven't figured that one out yet. - Apparently in Windows 7 with Aero LaunchBox looks really ugly when closing with the latest versions. I haven't taken the time to install Windows 7 on a physical machine, so I haven't troubleshooted this yet. - Finally, apparently when you have your Start bar docked on the left on a multi-monitor setup, LaunchBox maximizes improperly (doesn't fill the screen right). So those are the things that are currently on my WTF list. Anything anybody can figure out with any of those would be tremendously helpful as well. :) No pressure, John. ;)

Sure, one thing that I feel like needs more testing is the Download Images and Metadata Wizard. I just fixed a bunch of bugs that I didn't know were there, so I'm hoping I caught them all. That would be a huge help if you wanna tackle it. Just do everything you can to break it. :)

I've trained them to respond for me. ;)
