I'll try to keep this really brief, custom fields currently don't support having multiple values in them, and it simply should and needs to. Lacking the ability, custom fields are nearly completely useless. After searching on the forums to see if I was doing it wrong, I found someone say a really round about way to deal with multiple values in custom fields by simply repeating the same field and manually entering in each value. Not only is this an incredibly clunky and time consuming alternative, but it has one major flaw with it that I don't see how it was ignored. I hope we'll see custom fields get fixed, because as it stands currently they're not really usable if you need to enter multiple values in a field.

Hey, I recently picked up LaunchBox since I've long wanted a nice Front End for my collection, and enjoyed it so far and picked up the Premium version (On a different email account.) However, there are a few features I'd like to request. The biggest and most important one is better support for multiple versions of games. http://s18.postimg.org/ussu1u94p/SNES_Roms.png As you can see, there are multiple versions of a Game like Donkey Kong Country 2. I and I'm sure other avid retro gamers with roms have these, and they include multiple languages, older and newer versions, fan translations and romhacks, and more. Now, in current launchbox, if I were to add the whole folder, each one of these would be treated like a different game, and I'd get multiple duplicates appear in the menu. http://s21.postimg.org/pb6r81y9j/SNES_Roms_2.png The current solution to this is adding one version of the game initially, and later adding multiple versions via "additional applications". However, this process can only be done one at a time. Just this one game alone took several minutes to add each version, and I also have to add the original one for it to appear on the menu. There just has to be a better way to handle this. I'd like to be able to associate multiple ROMs with a single game and label them accordingly. I'd also like if I could change the default one, or set it so before the game launches it asks me which version I want to launch. Another feature I'd like to see along with this is better support for multiple regions. I play a lot of Japanese games, and would love if there was a way to label games by their region (Japan, US, and European). I'd like to label games with what language they support, as well as multiple release dates (JP Release, US Release), multiple titles for different regions, multiple publishers for regions, multiple boxart, just better support for games with multiple region releases in general. And finally, two minor things: Currently in the Details panel, Developer and Publisher are on the same line, I'd like if you could set them to appear on separate lines. Also, the name appearing on a licensed copy in the top has to go. It looks off, and if I want to send screenshots to online friends or just post it in general of my Launchbox, I have to take the time to edit out my name, and I don't think I'd ever want to record footage of me using Launchbox when my real name is there for everyone to see. I understand that it's a small little copy protection thing, but can't it just appear in a small menu under settings saying the name of who it's licensed too? The way it currently is deters me from wanting to do things I wouldn't think twice about doing with other programs. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this and looking forward to 5.0!
