You mean if I am using 4k resolution with scaling? I haven't. Do you know of any in particular that work better on 4K resolution? Of course, that won't fix the LB scaling issue. Edit: right now I'm using Minimal-AO

Hoping @Jason Carr or someone has a suggestion here. So, my Win 10 HTPC has always been connected to my 51" 1080p TV and no issues at all. Win 10 is set to 1920x1080 60Hz with 100% scaling. LB and BB work great. I just upgraded my TV to 60" 4k. Win 10 is set to the 4k resolution at 60Hz. Since the win 10 desktop is so small with 4k resolution, I have set win 10 display settings scaling to 200%. This makes the size of things look more like 1080p size. However, now my LB comes up with giant menus that don't even all fit with LB maximized, my game images got small, my platform list got super giant and unreadable. Worse than that, Bigbox is now almost unusable and barely moving (emulators seem fine). BB screen rate is indeed 60 as is my win 10 monitor refresh rate. Is there any possible solution short of setting win 10 to 100% scaling and not being able to read the desktop stuff? I haven't tried setting to 100% but I'm guessing it will fix LB/BB possibly. I remember I tried setting 150 or 200% on my 1080p TV before and had similar trouble, so went back to 100% which is tolerable on 1080p.

looks like LB is installed to the Windows user's profile named "hyperspin". is it possible you are not logged in as user "hyperspin"? Edit: see if you can access the last folder in that path. It will probably say access denied. you might want to install LB to something like c:\Launchbox instead.

do you think there is any chance it could be a failing disk?

maybe it will get changed the way you want it.

Weird that it deselects your game. For me, after searching, selecting a game, and then clearing the search filter, it does not deselect the game I had selected, but it does jump to the top instead of staying where that filter landed. Not sure if I would want it to stay there or jump back to the top, but I think I kind of like it jumping back to the top after clearing the search filter.

for me, i have no mouse or keyboard. i have a bluetooth keyboard/trackpad and i have it powered off altogether unless i need to use it, but then after i'm done using it again i turn it off again

This option simply relies on the system timeouts for going to sleep; we don't have any logic or code in there currently for the app putting the system to sleep itself (outside of the system menu). We can come back to that at another time if it's a popular request. Without it, you can't use attract mode and have your cabinet sleep. What about an additional option like the one you just created? So, also adding ""Allow Computer to Sleep while in Attract Mode" . Or even better just a single setting that affects both "Allow computer to sleep". If I had a cabinet, my ideal settings would be for attract mode on and have the computer sleep still based on the system's power settings for sleep. I would actually want this for my HTPC also, but I think it keeps waking up on its own when I don't want it to for some reason, so i can't seem to rely on it sleeping anyway.

It should work. It works for me. Make sure you use full paths to everything like in the screenshot below.

you can do it in the ahk tab for emulators, but i don't think there is an easy way like that for Windows PC games platform. There is no platform level ahk script on exit (i think there is for game startup), but I think it's on the list of things to do.

Yeah, when you exit the games just have your batch file or ahk script or whatever you use run the xpadder command to set your default profile. That way, when you exit games Xpadder will be put back.

Try WMP as a test. Does it happen? Only happens for me in previous and current versions if using VLC.

Switch your BB video player to Windows Media Player. That should fix you up, unless this is a brand new issue.

i saw that in previous releases before on my work laptop. i'm not sure what i did to make it stop, but maybe just rebooting cured it.

but could it simply be that having the background priority set to screenshot gameplay is what is causing this error since that may be locking the file? so i think i won't be able to delete one of the two duplicates like this as long as i show gameplay screenshot in the background. it's not a huge deal because i can just delete the 2nd if i get the error trying to delete the first one. i assume you wouldn't be able to delete the gameplay screenshot at all if you only have one when showing it as background. i doubt the problem is having Fanart checked in background priority Edit: i just checked my Background Priorities. Fanart is not checked. But like I suspected, if I uncheck screenshot gameplay i can delete either of the two duplicate gameplay screenshots from the sidebar. so whatever you show for your background, you will not be able to delete from the sidebar but you can from editing the game

Also, it seems like a bug that having Show Screenshots checked and not having Show Fanart checked in Options results in the sidebar showing both screenshots and fanart. This issue is totally different than the issue in the post about delete image.

@Jason Carr, so if you put two image files inside your gameplay screenshot folder and rename them so they have diff LB names, like one of them with -01 or something, you can delete either one that shows in your sidebar? Because I cannot for any like this. Although I can delete either of them just fine by right click edit game.

Oh, I'll check. So that is what is causing the delete image error? Edit: The problem I'm seeing with deletes is that I have TWO image files inside gameplay screenshots folder, name with the dash# in the name. It won't let me delete one of those duplicates. I'm not sure what that has to do with Fanart though?

Ok, this issue is resolved by going into LB Options->General->Game Details and unchecking "Show Fanart". I have "Show Screenshots" checked and apparently screenshots also includes showing Fanart. So unchecking Show Fanart got rid of seeing it twice. @Jason Carr maybe your comment was meant for this issue and not the delete image error issue?

Not intentionally =) . What setting can I change so they don't show up twice in the sidebar? I'm not sure what you mean. Edit: I think two show up simply because I have two duplicate gameplay screenshot files (one with a dash in the name and one without). I believe LB shows ALL your gameplay screenshot files in the sidebar. I don't think you have to configure anything to show more than one gameplay screenshot.

I just got an error trying to delete one duplicate gameplay screenshot. See screenshot. It would only let me delete the first instance of this duplicate gameplay screenshot but not the second "Donkey Kong-02.jpg" Edit: So this happens every time with duplicates. You can't delete the first one. Maybe it even happens if you only have one single gameplay screenshot. Edit 2: it may also be important here that my LB Image type in this MAME platform is set to Screenshot. So, quite possibly this would also happen if you set box front and tried to delete a duplicate box front (just my theory). Edit 3: so much for my theory , i just jump to snes platform where i have image view set to box front and it won't let be delete a duplicate gameplay screenshot there either. i guess every game has a single gameplay screenshot file locked.

Another thing I'm not sure if it's always been this way or new, but if I have a single Fanart image, it shows up twice, where the second lower instance has the text Fanart above it and the other does not. So I just now realized I have been deleting what I thought was a duplicate fanart when in fact I only had one, so it left me with none for those.

I've noticed an odd thing while scrolling my images and deleting duplicates. Quite often when I'm already scrolled past the video snapshot, the video snap will just appear on top of the lower images as seen in my screenshot.

The delete image is great. I would like to be able to bypass the prompt asking me if I'm sure. Edit: also after deleting an image that you had to scroll down to, it resets the images back to the top. It might be nice if it would stay in the same position to continue scrolling the rest without having to start from the top again. Just my thoughts. No big deal.
