Thank you for the reply, I actually figured it out by (continuing) to read forum posts. I did try to look up in the forums but didn't find a solution right away. anyway, I got it to work. Thanks again.

Hello, I have set up a "platform category" for playlists, and within it, a playlist for series which is listed on the sidebar. Under the series playlist I wanted to set custom icons for each series. I have put a picture in the \LaunchBox\Images\Platform Icons\Playlists folder (among other locations to test) and named it the exact same as the playlist name, and I have had a premium license for several years. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you! Edit: Also tried \LaunchBox\Images\Platform Categories. No luck.

I know this is an old post, but it is my post and I thought I would add to it instead of creating a new one. I was wondering if it would be possible to have this option NOT selected by default. I just opened up Launchbox to import 1 console and set some settings for it and play around with it and before I knew it, it had "imported" every system I had a game folder for, even though most of them didn't have games in them yet. It basically just imported BIOS files that I had in them. I wanted to work on getting the games into the folders before importing them. I understand that some people would like this feature, and I may at some point too, but to have it enabled by default is not good in some situations. I had to go through and manually delete all the systems I wasn't ready for yet.

Thank you for clarifying.

I am wondering why when I started to import roms and I cancelled the import, it still imported the games automatically but with no input from me. This means I didnt get a chance to select an emulator, among other things. Is this intended? I dont understand how this could work. Does this require setting up platforms and emulators before the import? But that doesnt make sense either because it tries to import new games automatically right away before theres a chance to set things up. Im very confused on how this is supposed to work.

Thanks for the reply, I do keep my games in the Lauchbox\Games folder, and chose to keep them there during import. Is there any way to know how Launchbox wants me to name them beforehand? Right now the [platform].xml file, platform management in Launchbox, and the game edit dialog all have different paths. Which is the one I should go by? Thanks again. (I did already mass edit the [platform].xml files using Notepad++, while Launchbox was closed.

Is it a folder naming problem? Do the game folders need to be named a certain way?

Hi, I am resetting up my Launchbox for about the 100th time now (Was very close to selling gaming PC, but decided not to.) But now I am having a problem that I have had before, but somehow messed around with it until I got it. This time however, I would like to know why this is happening. When I import a ROM folder into Launchbox, I choose to leave the files where they are. But afterwards I find that it has created a duplicate folder, although it is named slightly differently. For example, I had my folder of Gameboy games named "Nintendo - Gameboy" in my Games folder. After the import, there was a new folder named "Nintendo Gameboy" (no dash), which was empty, and the original folder "Nintendo - Gameboy" which still had the games in it. Why does this happen? I really dont want any more folders in there than I have to, especially if they are empty. Thank you.

Add me to the list.

Ok, i understand. Thank you.

Hi, i was wondering if there would be/ could be an api importer for uplay and origin. There are several games in both those companies that i have but don't want to install every one of them, nor do i have space for all of them, but i would like to show them in launchbox.

Ran installer on laptop and works now, thanks again.

Ok, yeah, that works. Thank you for your help. As always, I'm loving this program!

Ok, I'll try it. But when I update on one computer, should I also rerun the updated setup on the other computer? Because it was working on both before the update.
