Playlist feature

[calle81]

Hi again, I would love to have a playlist feature such as in Spotify. Basically you would right click a game, select add to playlist and then select between add to existing or create new. This would allow someone to easily create a collection of eg. all Mario games across all platforms or just have a favorites playlist.

You can already add a game to favorites, by editing the game, and checking the favorites checkbox. This will then show the game at the top of your list if you then arrange by favorites.

I think he's essentially wanting to create "systems" on the fly within LaunchBox. So if you clicked Mario (NES) and then Super Mario World (SNES) you could create a "system" called Mario Bros and launch games from different platforms. This feature would be really advanced, but I don't think it would be unreasonable to start a ticket on it. Having said all of that, you should be able to create a "Mario Bros" system with games from multiple consoles etc. just like you would any other system. I haven't tried it, but in theory, you could just import mario games into that system, and manually change the emulator.

Right now Favorites is the closest thing to a Playlist or using the Series field and sorting by that. Playlists have been requested before though. I am sure there is a ticket for it.

Oh you can also enable favorites from the Game Details bar if you use that. Click a game then the heart at the top of the details pane.

I never knew you could do that! I always thought it was just a status icon, awesome, that is a time saver.

[SentaiBrad]

Yes it is. :P

Would be better if it was in the context menu or if there was a ctrl+"key" to favorite things.

I thought it was, but yea it could be for users who want that.

Please Playlists like iTunes kind of Playlists. No need to move systems etc. Favourites could still be favourites within each system. Separate playlists could enable us to have all Mario games across platforms, all street fighter games across platforms etc. etc. etc. would be very, very cool. Please, Please (Please).

That specifically is the Series field. Fill out the series field, then sort by that.
