I'm on version 12.4. I am using the Default theme. I do see background image changing when pressing "i", but the Details panel does not refresh.

I used to be able to click on this button and any new changes to images or details made by plug-ins would refresh in the side panel. Now the button no longer seems to do anything. Is this broken? Or replaced by something else?

That seems to change the sort direction for the default sort and every playlist I have. I want to only change the sort order for this one playlist that I want sorted by Release Date (which is set it the playlist edit panel). Is that not possible?

How do I do it? When I have a playlist and set the sort order to Release Date, the oldest games show up on top.

Any news on this? I'd love to be able to sort on Release Date with the most recent games on top.

Update on this. I managed to find a workaround - run LaunchBox as Administrator. There seems to be something wrong with pulling UWP apps on my machine. I've attached two log files which show running the app as Admin and not. When not running as Admin, I get errors like this right before a 2 minute stall: 2021-10-11 12:16:41 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.get_InstalledLocation() at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Integrations.Xbox.Xbox.GetAllInstalledUwpApps() 2021-10-11 12:17:11 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.get_InstalledLocation() at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Integrations.Xbox.Xbox.GetAllInstalledUwpApps() 2021-10-11 12:17:41 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.get_InstalledLocation() at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Integrations.Xbox.Xbox.GetAllInstalledUwpApps() 2021-10-11 12:18:11 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.get_InstalledLocation() at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Integrations.Xbox.Xbox.GetAllInstalledUwpApps() 2021-10-11 12:18:42 PM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: Value does not fall within the expected range. at Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.get_InstalledLocation() at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Integrations.Xbox.Xbox.GetAllInstalledUwpApps() Is there any way to disable LaunchBox from attempting to access Uwp games on my machine?

Only Windows Defender.

Looks like the delay comes between these two lines: 2021-09-16 09:44:51 AM Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Desktop.ViewModels.MainViewModel.window.Deactivated Completed 2021-09-16 09:46:15 AM Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Desktop.ViewModels.MainViewModel.window.Activated Start

Here's a log without auto-populated playlists or plugins. Debug 2021-09-16 09-41-41 AM.log

That did improve things, but it still took 2 minutes 40 seconds to load.

Yes, I have written several of my own data scraper plug-ins. Let me try removing them from the folder and see if that fixes it.

I do have 5 auto-populated playlists with large numbers of games in them. I don't see any extra files in my Data folder. I've attached the log from opening the app again. There are some errors, maybe something related to the MS/Xbox imported games? Debug 2021-09-16 09-27-32 AM.log

I am a long time owner and user of LaunchBox and over the last (year? months?), the app has gotten incredibly slow to launch. I'm typing this as I'm waiting for it to launch right now and it's already been 3 minutes. It just finally finished after around 4 minutes of sitting on "Populating Games...". Once launched, everything seems normal. Also, while it is stalled, the "Populating Games..." window is forced to be always on top of everything else on my computer (Windows 10), which makes it even more frustrating as it's difficult to do anything else while I'm waiting for LaunchBox to start up. I do have a large collection - 7665 total games. Does this happen to other people with a lot of games? Is this being worked on to fix, or is there something I can do to fix it on my end? I am currently on version 11.18-beta-3 to fix the Epic import, but this has been happening on all stable version for a long while.

Hi, I am getting this same error when trying to debug my plugins. An exception of "Debugger Detected" is thrown on launch of Core/LaunchBox.exe from Visual Studio. Is there any workaround for this? It's basically impossible to develop plugins without being able to debug them!

Is there any way to have it scrape only screenshots and not update the game's metadata? Thanks!
