SpaceMidget75 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Running version 7 although not sure which build it started on, but I get this in the image attached. The brackets are not in the xml and the roms aren't duplicated. EDIT: It's appears to be play count, from when I ordered it by play count. The problem is, I've changed the view order and the brackets have remained. Any fix? Edited December 12, 2016 by SpaceMidget75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sorry if this seems dumb, but changing the sort by and restarting LB doesn't make them go away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceMidget75 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Hey @SentaiBrad, I have to support software I write too - no such thing as a dumb question when users are concerned! Yes, I've restarted many times and changed to a number of different sort orders. Interestingly, it's shows brackets consistently (mostly 0s apart from the one's I have played) until half-way through the D's and then becomes more sporadic as shown here! Very odd.

SentaiBrad Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I have no clue then. If you're not in a custom view and you're back to the regular platform or platform category view, and View -> Arrange by is not set to that anymore, I am lost. You could back up your Settings XML and try reloading a fresh XML (when it's gone LB will create a new one). This will remove most of your settings though, so it's a pretty bad workaround. I'll pass this on to Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceMidget75 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 One last image as it may help Jason (if it is a bug). This one shows just Atari 2600, ordered by Title, with the consistent brackets stopping midway in the D's - BUT, I just played Cosmic Ark to test, and even after a restart of LB, the bracket hasn't incremented to (1) despite Play Count field now showing 1. Despite this, the brackets do seem to symbolize Play Count (at least from a certain point in time!) because if I order it by Play Count it's obvious it's the ones I have in fact played the most. There's also a screenshot of the sporadic ones from further down the games list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceMidget75 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Update: It's almost definitely a bug of some sort. I can remove the brackets by simply going into the edit screen of a game and clicking OK*. I've checked/compared the XML, and the ONLY thing that changes is the ModifiedDate field. I'm guessing this is some sort of caching issue then. * Likewise, I've been fixing them by selecting all in a Platform, doing the bulk edit and re-setting the Platform (just so that something is set). EDIT: YEP! Deleting the cache folder, fixes the problem! Edited December 13, 2016 by SpaceMidget75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Ah, I forget that the text is cached now, but that makes some sense so I'll let him know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demeth Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I'd prefer asking here rather than creating another topic (again haha) so... Is it possible to sort by release date but hide the date in the brackets? I just want my persona play list to be sorted by release date without having to manually remove the date. is this a thing?

SentaiBrad Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I don't think so. I can see why it's not, sorting by a piece of metadata but then hiding that metadata doesn't make too much sense. I would request this option on the BitBucket though, if you're really wanting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demeth Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 You got a point. Sorting a playlist of 5 games by release date is fine, but sorting an entire platform without seeing the release date is...dumb. Thanks for the reply ! I'll live with it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
