Genius Potato Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Like the title says, it would be nice if it has this feature. As example, if you want to put special links to the game description like website, wiki etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spycat Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 This would be a great feature indeed. In the meantime you can use the View Manual feature as this can point to a wide range of filetypes like pdf game manuals, png and other image files and internet shortcuts (URLs). For example I use the View Manual to open ProgettoEmma information webpages for my Arcade games, see top image below. The second image is the View Manual for a BBC game showing the game's on-line map. It may be cumbersome to setup and limits you to one instance per game but it's better than nothing until something else comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spycat Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi ayuno. This is a much better approach. I never considered using the Additional Apps method as I just assumed it only catered for executables. Not so. Apparently, Additional Apps can also be used to display documents, images etc, something I didn't know till now. With this you can have as many url links as you want for each game. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd00 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Yeah, this is a great solution, thanks @ayuno. It would be time consuming though, so I can't see myself implementing anything like this any time soon, unfortunately. I wish I had more time to spare.

Kriven Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Just chiming in on the wonders of the "Additional Applications" feature and its potential. It's one of the single most important features LaunchBox has, and its uses are nearly limitless. In the future I can see it being used to link the special features with movies, or discs for ripped DVD sets. Artbooks with music albums. Comics with their anniversary specials. As far as media centers go, the "Additional Apps" function of LaunchBox gives it a solid headstart for approaching the broader spectrum of entertainment, when that point comes.
