CadetStimpy Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 In the unlikely event this hasn't already been suggested, how about an option to just select, or launch, the last game you played, when you start LaunchBox? I'll often play the same game several times in a row, so this option would be useful for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I like that idea made even have it list the last few games you've played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Good idea indeed. Not sure what the interface would look like, though. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 My initial thoughts were to just sorta have it as you have the 'Favorite' and/or 'Game Completed' check-boxes in the Edit Game window. Just have a couple of check-boxes called 'Select on Startup', and 'Launch on Startup'. If selected, that'll happen the next time you start LaunchBox, of course.

Jason Carr Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I see, sure. Though I feel like we should prompt the user before starting up a game, but that sort of feels clunky. What if we just remembered the user's last selected game and selected it on startup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadetStimpy Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 That'd be a great way to do it, Jason. With your idea, one wouldn't have to edit and mark/clear check-boxes. User friendly, and, I don't know, but hopefully not too much coding involved, either. Bravo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzo Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Another way is to do this would be to add some filters to the side bar that display date-last-played. Today, yesterday, this week, last week... You could also do one for playcount (most played, never played, etc), or even combine the two (most played this month). Maybe even build in a timer like Steam that tracks how many minutes each game is played :) (But feel free to work on list view first, that's my #1 request at the moment!)
