Jason Carr Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Beta 12 is out now guys; we added adding games to *new* playlists in Big Box in the live stream this morning, as well as fixed the titles not updating properly bug in LaunchBox when changing the Arrange By types. Let me know if anyone is seeing any unexpected prefixes in the game titles going forward. Also, more importantly, I'm pretty sure I've *finally* fixed the dreaded sidebar sorting bug. It turns out that it was only happening with the actually released versions, and not in debug versions at all, which made it really hard to track. I'm still blaming a .NET bug because it shouldn't have been happening, but I think I've forced a fix for it. Let me know if anyone is still seeing any sorting issues with the sidebar. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FistyDollars Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Seems to be fixed!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chglcu Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) For me, in this build, platform sorting is correct, except in the case that the first four sidebar options are all checked (All, None, Exists and Counts). If any one of those is not checked, everything sorts correctly. Aligning the counts doesn't seem to have any effect on the order. Edit: Playlists seem to always sort correctly now regardless of the sidebar options. In the previous build, having the All option enabled would screw up their order. Edit #2: In case it's relevant, all my platforms have a custom sort title in the form "N YYYY-MM-DD", where N is 0 for arcade, 1 for console, 2 for handheld, 3 for computer, and YYYY-MM-DD is the release date.

CriticalCid Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The platforms themselves seem to be fixed for me now but unfortunately, the platform categories not. They are still in non-alphabetical order when “Show All” is checked. When I un-check it everything is fine. All is checked: All is un-checked; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All is checked: All is un-checked; I get this as well, but only if neither (None) or (Exists) are checked. Enabling either or both fixes the order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just tested it and it seems that it works slightly different for me. The platform categories are correctly sorted if I have none or all three “Show” options checked. If I only check one or two of these (doesn’t matter which ones) it gets out of order. The platforms themselves are definitely fixed on my end because unlike the categories they aren't affected by these settings anymore.

chglcu Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Did you check the platform sorting in the Platforms view or only in Platform Categories? For me, the platforms are only out of order under the conditions I described above and only in Platforms view. Under categories, the platforms themselves always seem correct.

keithhov Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I am still having problems with controller automation crashing bigbox, is this still expected to be addressed? I thought I saw a post that it will hopefully be fixed by version 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked both while testing, that's why I've said that I'm defintely sure that the sorting issue for platforms is now fixed for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget that the Platform Categories view even exists since I always just use Platforms, so the opposite could be true for other people.

Will that overwrite my stuff? Do i install it do a different folder and just grab the exe or do i install it to my current folder with my fully installed lb install?

angelobodetti Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 So i installed into a new folder, copied the exe into my old folder and it isn't doing anything. This is a mess. I'm worried I may overwrite all of my settings and configurations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just do as @neil9000 said. It won't overwrite anything in your Data folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just install over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelobodetti Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ok will try now. Should I use the most recent file for beta 12 or the last one I had installed beta 11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
