damageinc86 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I'd love to be able to access my filters in bigbox with a keypress/controller button and have a sidebar slide over, select filter, sidebar slide away, filtered games displayed on wheel. Made a little mockup in photoshop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Perhaps this is something similar to what @Jason Carr has in mind for the current playlist feature when it is added to BB or maybe for nested filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Looks like a nice interface, @damageinc86. I can see that working better for nested filters, though, or even platform categories. The current plans for playlists is to allow folks to include them in with the platforms lists; this is actually already available in the latest beta. But an interface like this definitely makes sense for when we tackle the next thing, which will be nested filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I don't know how they are gonna work in platform lists, that's the last place I'd want them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Yeah I'd really just like a simple filters list like this. I wouldn't care about platform lists at all, maybe nested would be cool, for another sidebar to slide in slightly to the right, but the basic filters list would be great there for me personally. Would just totally complete the setup for me. Hell, i'd pay extra just to have that! lol. I need it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Now that the platform lists are in bigbox, I still find myself wanting a sidebar that slides over whatever platform I'm within at the moment, and shows all playlists I've made for that system. Might not work for playlists that span across multiple platforms maybe. But for most playlists that just stick to a platform, especiall Arcade, it would be cool to have an option to slide the playlists for that platform above the platform itself instead if going to a separate "platform" screen that is just like the main menu you boot up into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 That is a cool idea @damageinc86. It won't make it into 7.8, but I agree that it would be useful, so hopefully we can add it at some point here. I'll probably put it on the next community poll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damageinc86 Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Awesome! Excited about that. I know it sounds like complaining, but it's just the flow I feel when navigating, and it feels a bit off to me in certain situations like platform specific playlists. I like the playlist screen for my other lists though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
