Lmagnus87 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Posted September 21, 2015 Some ideas for new kinds of view for Launchbox Quote
Jason Carr Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 Hi @LMagnus87, I'm actually working on a list view similar to your first screenshot from Dolphin. I'm hoping it will make it into 5.3. Quote
Kriven Posted September 21, 2015 Posted September 21, 2015 I like Dolphin View... I can see that being useful. Quote
Jason Carr Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Yeah, for sure. A list view has been a long time coming. Quote
AFaustini Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Jason Carr said Yeah, for sure. A list view has been a long time coming. Can we see it on next beta? Quote
Jason Carr Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Probably not as I'm currently working to squash bugs. A number of more difficult bugs have shown up in these later betas, and I need to address them before getting back to the list view. The list view will probably be the last thing I finish up before the 5.3 official. Quote
Kriven Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Take your time on bug-squashing and optimization. Anything that makes LaunchBox run more smoothly is a win in my book. Quote
Lmagnus87 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Posted October 13, 2015 Jason Carr said Thanks, Nathan, agreed. :) Thanks for the new List view! What do you think about "Windows Group" view? I really like a Program Manager "clone/Remake". Launchbox and progman "share the same origin", Launch MSDOS apps Quote
Jason Carr Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Hehehehe, that'd be quite a throwback, wouldn't it? It'd be fun too, but unfortunately I don't think it really fits with the rest of LaunchBox. Might be a fun side project though at some point. Quote
Lmagnus87 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Posted October 14, 2015 If you are going to do like a side/fun, I will like it too much XD But if you can integrate it to LB, I will love it :P I dont know how do you wrote the code but I think that category object contains a lot of game objects so.. Category => Group Game => Item Group I like BigBox , ListView, defaultView but I belive that a launcher needs more kinds of views. Maybe not code it by you but using "third party" plugins to "emulate" other features. For example Wii System Menu View and support Wiimote gestures Quote
Jason Carr Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 That sounds pretty cool but of course we're a ways off from stuff like that. We'd need an extensive theming and plugin engine, which is feasible, but is a serious undertaking. We'll get there but lots to tackle before then unfortunately. Quote
