cammelspit Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi! I just ponied up the $50 for a lifetime premium subscription today and I must say, so far, I love it! I do have a couple questions though and I hope some of you amazing smart people can help a BB newb out. So, I am aware that LB/BB download media automatically. The problem I have it there seems to be no way to force a sync of specifically the platform images. Do I need to download and install these manually or an I just being an idiot again? Currently, all I have is a blank black background and no console icons like I see in all the promo videos and I kinda would like exactly that. Another question I have is this. I have my LB/BB on my OS SSD. I did this because of more than 30K games, and I still have a lot of importing to do, it was just too darn slow to navigate around off of my 4TB HGST NAS drive. I run into another, different problem because of this. I don't really have the space for all the media and so I only get the box fronts for now since that is not too big. Can I split the image directory to another location or drive? If not, can I move JUST the media to another location or drive? Otherwise, man, this thing is slick. Good job, well worth the couple bucks for the greatly enhanced experience. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddoc1007 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Yes you can do this for images, videos, manuals etc once you change the destination of the folders you must go in LaunchBox then on the menu bar tools manage platforms, 2nd tab folders and show LaunchBox where the new folders are situated see screenshot. I have all my images videos etc on another drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 @DOS76 sorry for the double post looks like we were both answering at the same time LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammelspit Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 @DOS76 @Maddoc1007 Ah, I see. That might be a good idea for me then, thank you! I was looking into using a hard symlink to do this but frankly, I am probably not savvy enough. Thanks for the info, I guess there is still a lot more about LB/BB to uncover and learn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
