Can this be fixed? I have platform categories I'm viewing as my main view...using my licensed build of LaunchBox (a second install) for Comics, and of course it does the same with games, but anyway... see the photo.....the amount of titles in the category below Comics are all divided in PLAYLISTS, etc....the top platform category should show half of what it actually shows, but it doubles the total count of all files ....looks funny cause it says ALL above it, and that amount is much less.. Is it possible this could be fixed or is there some easy way I can fix it? Thanks.

Pressed F11 to go full screen, using snippet to take snapshots of my category lists, got down to COMPUTERS and it crashed with something referencing the MP3/Musicplayer...I've seen this once before, can't remember when though....I didn't collect the error page (should have), but it ended up looking like this until actually crashing out...

Me too, that’s why I wish there was a Raunch box!

Also, why in a PLATFORM CATEGORY full of playlists (no platforms), does the total game count (when enabled), DOUBLE the total amount of titles listed (the number to the right of the platform category name itself is TWICE the number of titles I have)? The accurate count is shown below on the bottom Displaying # and # games, etc...

I tried to edit with many titles selected, and it won't let me do this...only lets me change the PLATFORM in bulk...not the CATEGORY... If I change to playlist view I can't do anything with playlists themselves (wish there was some right-click functionality in this view)... and can only right-click individually the playlists and change PLATFORM CATEGORY one at a time... Any way to do this in bulk with a .INI maybe?

How do I use this script? What program? Thanks, looks awesome.

Hmmm I've never used that...I see... But when that works, and I enable it, will that show AS PART of the filename like it used to, or just the game details screen? Hoping for the former.

Where IS the option to show versions BTW? I can't find that anywhere...

No problem, just pointing it out because it seems like something minor that’s really easy to miss.

I agree John that would be nice, it would make it much easier to export to smaller collections. I’ve never even used that feature, I always do it manually ?

How many doom games ARE there?

And launchbox.next does not display version along with the title...I used to hate that it did, but then I started to like it, ( it’s easier to remove it in mass by using edit all, then it is to add different versions to different games/mags/comicsfor mag/comics I put the month/year there) I hope that can be added back as an option (per platform )to display version after title or not...

I have 8Gb and 55,000 titles (although 8k are an unorganized total DOS mess being removed as I add and finish my smaller Exodos imports... And LB NEXT is much faster for me. It’s not a hardware issue for sure. My processor is a core i5 3.4ghz I run my collection off of an external USB 3 hard drive. (8TB)

Thank you for working on this, please do the following: And to an existing platform, on the left platform i have one by itself (in platform category view) called ALL COMICS ...choose a few items, edit them, choose SERIES, type something ....save... Then inside the same platform, choose a few different games, and do the same (but type something new for series) and make note if it adds/ changes the previous ones, as if they were still selected...

It only happens in LaunchBox next, not the regular LaunchBox

Okay, got a bug that seriously just cost me some time.... This worked fine before .NEXT version... When I select multiple titles and make an edit (for example I just added some comics, and I do this in batches to add SERIES, so I will select several of them (shift or CTRL-click as needed) and make the changes (usually to series or genre, or version), say NO to more changes, and then I can click off the batch selection and click another in the series, and make a modification to a few of them or ONE...well not anymore with careless ease... with LB.next even if I select one file after doing this the first time....no, it wants to do a batch edit of the previous + the one I clicked on, and if I do another multi-select and EDIT, it will seem to work, but without me realizing it and without the previous titles selected it will ADD those changes to the previous multi-selected files as if they were still clicked and chosen! ARGH! To work around and I have to click on another platform and back into the comics platform (or whatever) and then it resets it.. Please fix this! I use genre and series bulk edit a lot. Thank you!

I second colored scroll bars (sometimes I have to hunt for it), and coloed boxed on selection would be cool too. ^

"Cuz I know how much of a pain in the ass PS2 storage is; that’s like 4-8 gb PER GAME!!!  " Just want to point out that a lot of PS2 games run anywhere from 15MB (yes MB, EX: Retro Classics - 8 Arcade Classics from Yesteryears (Europe) ), to 7.3GB (XenoSaga Episode 1) , but I use real-time .GZ compression for my PS2 games, setting 9 to achieve this, with many PS2 games, in the 300MB to 3GB range..it makes it much eaiser to store on the cloud if you wanted to (not to mention a drive) and with .GZ I don't sacrifice any speed once the game launches at least one time in my collection, it stays compressed and it's in real-time. My Nintendo GC cames run 338MB to 1.4GB, so it's not that much of a difference, depending on the game we are talking about..

I think even if the containers themselves (when smaller) were enlarged to match the other larger/normal container sizes, it would look much better. (even if the image itself stayed the same size)

In LB.Next Under OPTION / GAME DETAILS, please bring back the option to CHECK "SERIES", it's missing for some reason, the normal view has it, and I reference that a lot when going through games to see if they are assigned to a series or not, thanks! * Nevermind, I missed it somehow, it is there. Series and Genre's still need some love though... (see my above request)

I third the playlist requests above! ^

See screenshot, when I click each of these game icons to select them (including a pictured COMIC) they all load the same exact GAME DETAILS on the right...which is for 1943 Battle of Midway...in COMPLETE VIEW / AL GAMES and search for text string 194 (to find 194x series games) I clicked away from the view to another, then back and now I cannot replicate it....don't know if it needs to be looked into more...

Thanks for sharing those!

Yes it’s very helpful! ...unfortunately it doesn’t have everything. I guess some of my custom playlists are not that popular.

I've tried %romfile%, it doesn't work like it does with the sharp x68000 emulator I'm using....I can't find any resources on command line/UNZ stuff... Anyone doing this? Example game is Cybercity...I can load the CUE in my virtual drive of G, launch game, but can't get it to work unless I load the boot floppy into drive 0, then it will play. Any help very appreciated.
