[Doesn't Install 8.6-Beta-5 Automatically after Download]

@Jason Carr Thanks for the reply! Oops sorry, didn't realise all beta queries go in that thread!

I just installed 8.6-beta-6 over top and it worked perfectly!

[Doesn't Install 8.6-Beta-5 Automatically after Download]

I'm currently on version 8.6 beta-1. When I open LaunchBox it prompts me that a new beta is available. After the download is completed LaunchBox closes but no install occurs. If I navigate to the LaunchBox directory then the Updates folder, I can see that 8.6-beta-5 setup exe was downloaded.

Is it safe to install the new beta by clicking on the installer from within windows explorer? I don't want to risk it wiping my current LB library!

[Date Added Isn't retained when using LaunchBox.Next]

Thanks for the response @ZeSystem. I spent a while trying to figure it out and realised that in LB.Next the date format format is DD/MM/YYYY whereas in the old LaunchBox it was MM/DD/YYYY. Once I changed the date to the correct format the correct amount of games was shown.

[Changing Spacing Between Categories in Left Sidebar]

Thanks for the response @Retro808! I had trouble finding an existing post regarding it, I guess I just didn't look hard enough!

[Date Added Isn't retained when using LaunchBox.Next]

I have a playlist which Auto-Populates by adding games which have the 'Date Added' field being on or after the 06-01-2018. In LaunchBox.Next it appears all my games have been re-added causing this playlist to contain my entire LaunchBox library. Is this a known issue?

[Changing Spacing Between Categories in Left Sidebar]

In LaunchBox.Next the spacing between the categories in the left sidebar is quite large compared to the original LaunchBox, is it going to be possible to change the spacing?

[View counts for playlists?]

@Retro808 I like that idea, may as well start getting used to LB Next now since its the future! @Jason Carr thanks for the reply, keen to see the configuration options!!!

[View counts for playlists?]

Ahh brilliant, I honestly don't have any better ideas so lets just hope he sees that eventually! Thanks for your help @Dan!

Edit: Oh and thanks @Retro808 also for your clear definitive answer!

[View counts for playlists?]

How do I go about asking Jason or someone for advice?

Yeah I'm definitely gonna keep my eye on it (I'm subscribed to their YouTube channel), cause I know they will inevitably put in an awesome feature which will essentially force me to upgrade!

[View counts for playlists?]

I'll be honest I haven't been won-over yet by the look of LB Next, so was kinda hoping to stick to the older interface for a while (which is why I disabled updates for now). I know this is probably counter-intuitive but right now I honestly prefer the look of the current User Interface.

So with that in mind and by what you're saying, I guess there's just nothing I can do to fix it.

[View counts for playlists?]

The attached images show the 'My Genre' section vs the 'Playlist' section, and how the 'Playlist' section doesn't have any counts.

 

[View counts for playlists?]

Apologies, my statement isn't specific enough. When I say "not when I select playlists" I mean selecting the playlist section. I've added a screen capture to assist with my clarification. Hopefully it makes more sense now?

[View counts for playlists?]

I'm currently running LaunchBox 8.3 on my Windows 10 PC. I can see the counts in all other sorting categories but not when I select playlists. Is there a checkbox or something in Options I'm just not seeing? Options > General > Side Bar > Show Counts and Align Counts to the Right are both enabled in Options!

[Finding Your Steam Custom URL]

Thanks for the news @DOS76! @bf_jeje same here, the amount of times I went through the process thinking I was doing something wrong!!

[Finding Your Steam Custom URL]

I'm currently not able to import steam games using version 8.2-beta-2, it says 'your steam account can't be accessed'. I can 100% confirm that my profile is set to public and that I'm inputting it correctly! Is there anything else that can be causing this issue?

[Using Daemon Tools to mount iso on game boot]

Thanks for the help @Lordmonkus, I used your batch file as a basis and modified it to seek the result I was after!

What emulator are you using for PS1 games ?

The game I'm trying to get to work (Croc 2) is a windows game, so it doesn't require an emulator. Maybe I can use a batch file to combine my 'add virtual drive' and 'mount image'?

 

[Using Daemon Tools to mount iso on game boot]

As per the title I'm having trouble getting an iso to be mounted before a game is booted. As of right now I use Daemon Tools Pro. The attached images show the current attempt. It's important to note that it would appear that the application "DT Pro: Mount Image" is the one that doesn't work at game boot. However, if I manually right click and select that option the iso mounts fine.

From what I can gather only one application can run automatically before the main application?

[Updating Steam Library]

actually know it's downloading

I could tell it was downloading by using Task Manager, I just find it useful to have an indication of how far its progressed with the download.

[Updating Steam Library]

Brilliant thanks! I much prefer to wait and see the progress bar, so I unchecked the box.

[Updating Steam Library]

Is there anyway for me to see update progress?

[Updating Steam Library]

Thanks for the super quick response, I'll try the latest beta!

[Updating Steam Library]

I recently purchased some new games in steam and when I attempt to re-import my steam library so that these new games show up in launchbox, the 'parsing your steam account' seems to never end! I've left it for 4-5 hours and nothing happened. In addition I noticed no network activity during this time.

Am I updating the steam games in launchbox incorrectly? Or is this an issue with launchbox?
