Great to know all of you guys, I once wanted/tried to and make a video myself for BigBox startup and it was a disaster! π€ Also some time ago was struggling to create a theme using CTC but that went down as well.. π« That said and knowing how hard this could be I just want to say that I really admire everyone's work/contributions in addition with everyone's will to share it for free with all of us is the best example of community and collaboration. I wish some day I could "pay you all back" with something I create and share. There is only this thing that makes me a bit "worried" is that the last couple of months there are many contributors/great members like all of you stepping-back/out or even living the community, I don't know if this has always been the case (members come and go along the way) or if something has changed recently that has discouraged some of them/you from continuing to be actively participating... maybe some of the older members here know why. (Or simply we will never know because there is nothing in particular about it) Anyway, cheers to all βΊοΈ

Oh my God...! They are all amazing... I could never choose one because they are all excellent! "Choisissez-en un !" {easy for you to say} π π π. I say "Le choix vous appartient."/"The choice is yours". {I hope I didn't mess it up.} π

Take care, and hope to see you again anytime soon. You are such an amazing artist. Thank You π

Great theme, it changes the LaunchBox experience!!! π€© *The only small detail I would really like to see in a future version is the "Platform Category" view to be implemented. (Currently (v1.0.0) I couldn't find a way to navigate from the categories to the individual platforms). Version 1.1.0 now Implements "Platform Category" that's Sleeeek! π Thank You! π

Hey there, you can always drag 'n drop the image onto the edit window>Media>Images and choose the appropriate image type from the tab above, it will automatically named and placed in the correct folder. See below: Just make sure the filename is .png to take advantage of any transparency in the image or.jpg for plain images. Hope that helps some more. π

Is anyone experience this phenomenon when using\navigating with the controller? See images below: This is always happening only when using the controller. The theme I use is the standard 'Default' theme with some minor changes but in the "Game Details". This is not a 13.27 version only issue because I had this issue before. π€

So that's why the "Sort Title" in one of my Platforms keeps deleted! In fact I believe Its the only one that has a 'Sort Title' field because I need that platform to always be on-top/at beginning of the list and i try to put a (one digit) number in it after using the plug-in the number becomes a "random" 6 digit one. π€ Yes confirming, its immediate.π I'll try to remember that. π

Hey there again, is it possible/easy for the plug-in to show the current "Sort by..." state? I mean that every time I open the plug-in window the "Sort by..." bullet is on the "... by Title (default)" state and it is a bit confusing when it is not obvious by looking at the list itself especially when you are viewing the "Platforms Category". Please don't get me wrong for seeming spoiled and asking for too much, it's not as difficult as it is right now, but I'm thinking of just a "perhaps" to-do in the future.ππ Anyway, thanks again. π

Wow, JoeViking245 you nailed it (again) man. π You are awesome. Thank you for the time and effort... Yes, it was my request, I was building a setup based on the "The History of Video Games" and I came across this small but important (at least for what I want to do) thing that is missing from the LaunchBox shorting filters. I really hope others will find it useful. π Once more a HUGE THANK YOU! Edit: This plug-in even works under the "Platform Category" listing and it does not "break" the Categories being made... super cool! π

How do you delete those damn folders?
Tsik replied to PadeMoNiuM Prods's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
Hey there, just wanted to share/post my (temporary) solution for those pesky empty folders created until something new comes from the dev team. It is a simple batch file I've put together (from merging "code" around the NET) and placed in the LaunchBox directory which removes ALL the empty folders from the directory recursively Reference script below: @echo off title Delete all empty folders in the directory 'Tree' echo [91mDO NOT[0m close this window, echo [96mDeleting empty Folders[0m in [[93m%~dp0[0m] and its sub-directories ^ except [[93m%~dp0Games[0m]^ ... ::Deleting all empty folders in the directory "tree" for /f "delims=" %%d in ('dir /s /b /ad ^| sort /r') do ^ if not "%%~nd"=="Games" ^ rd "%%d" 2>nul exit Delete all empty folders in the directory tree (for LB).zip *Note that I have a line in there for exceptions of folders that you may need to keep. **Make sure you right-click properties of the .bat and click the "Allow" check-box Of course the downside is that you just have to click it every time you end the session or maybe incorporate it into another "LauncBox Launcher.bat" batch script as below @echo off title LaunchBox Launcher if not DEFINED IS_MINIMIZED set IS_MINIMIZED=1 && start "" /min "%~dpnx0" %* && exit start "" /wait LaunchBox.exe start /min "_Delete all empty folders in the directory tree (for LB).bat" ::The /min flag above starts the bat minimized (remove if needed) exit to launch it automatically when LaunchBox quits BUT helps a lot when doing a back-up and declutter when searching! I really hope there will be a more permanent solution from the devs to disable the feature when needed. Although as @Retro808 said -here- : and @C-Beats also: those folders seem to have a purpose. You may use the file at your own risk (maybe test it first in a temporary directory) although I've been using this forever and never had a single problem. Of course, as always, feel free to modify and share. π -
+1 At least for the DEC PDP series, and the Plato systems. Ξ€he rest are unknown to me, but it seems that all this might be a great addition to the Database. #PreservingComputerHistory. π
