syztemlord Posted July 6, 2016 Author Posted July 6, 2016 Hi guys, Is there an option in Big Box to select a random game? I know there is one in default Launch Box. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 There isn't in BigBox, but this has been requested a lot and there is a ticket for it on the BitBucket. You can search and vote on that ticket if you'd like! Quote
syztemlord Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 Great, thanks! Thought that may of been the case Quote
progets Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Isn't that backwards? A feature in the free version that isn't in the paid version. I understand the voting and that there are priorities but it makes no sense to lose a feature when going to a "better" version. Quote

This is in Big Box, I'd imagine it works differently to Launch Box so would need to be coded separately. Not a huge issue though. Quote

You can still use the random game option in LaunchBox after upgrading to premium. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 They mean in BigBox Cid. BigBox and LaunchBox are different code bases. What goes in to LaunchBox wont necessarily make it in to LaunchBox, and since LaunchBox was made first well before BigBox there may be some things that are missing. Quote
CriticalCid Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 I know that they mean BigBox. But “lose a feature” sounds like that it would just vanish in LaunchBox when you upgrade to premium. I just wanted to clarify that. :) Quote
DOS76 Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Yeah you can use the feature regardless of what version of LB you are using so really nothing is lost. That being said I wouldn't hate to see that feature added to BigBox. Quote
CriticalCid Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Here’s the link to the BitBucket ticket for the lazy ones. I just voted for it as well ;) https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/195/big-box-option-to-random-select-game Quote
vaderag Posted December 13, 2018 Posted December 13, 2018 Bitbucket link above seems dead - does this mean this feature exists? If so, how do I do this? Quote
