neohusky Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hi guys Do we know if there is a planned feature list for 8.0 or a list with suggestions for the next poll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Not quite yet. Jason will start making announcements for what ever the next version is here soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriven Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 He's going to do a poll I think, right? Like before? Some kind of parental control system, you guys. Like, hiding certain tagged games unless a password is entered. Vote PC! I'm starting a campaign. Consider this the Ratings Matter Party. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohusky Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 He's definitely doing a poll. Early today he started jotting things for the poll down during the live development stream. I can imagine that the wish list and campaigning will be long. I know it's not a priority,but, my 2 cents would be to consider an in-game pause menu and bezels. Similar to some of the functionality of rocketlauncher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'd rather see Database improvements. We have quite a lot of awesome features, making sure everything is cohesive and getting that database whipped up I feel should be top, but yea. @Jason Carr will take the top and go with that. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you 100%. The database is integral to the launchbox experience and needs to be finished so the community can fill in the gaps. I will be voting on that with you. I will say that having LB/BB have a pause and bezels would be nice, but that'd be a more long term goal to me. There is much more that needs done first. If you really need that functionality, just use Rocketlauncher for now. Edited April 6, 2017 by Evil_Orko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snarfo67 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Improvements to the database and an integrated PDF/document viewer controllable with a controller! Sorry, just warming up my voting fingers prematurely... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yep, I have a lot of pdfs taking up space on my HDD that I can't navigate with my gamepad in Big Box ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah Database improvements would nice, more alternative names and when scrapping LB can look at those names. I would also like a Star raiting in box box that syncs with the Database. Also Retro achievements, Net play, friends list and such. Edited April 6, 2017 by ALIE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In full agreement about the DB. LB/BB is in a great place and already outweighs almost every other Front End on the market as far as features. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 +1 on the database stuff. I know it’s hard for Jason to excite the average users about stuff like the database and that's why he so hesitates to work on it. But it’s still a huge part of the LaunchBox backbone which deserves more love. Jason has mentioned that he will start the next poll after the 7.9 release, so it would be probably a great opportunity to work on the database stuff in the time gap between 7.9 release and the poll results, at least in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krystyin Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 100% on the Database, I am waiting for a flawless database before I start using launchbox. Average Users wants a refined experience. Concentrate on making everything just work, i.e. Better Controller Support in Big Box (i.e. PDFs, Stars, Filters), Database Refinement / Import Refinement, User Interface Refinement, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start using launchbox now then hopefully it will provide (more?) motivation for you to help contribute towards the database. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaysArcade Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I would say database too. Beyond that, I would like the ability to designate a platform to be run as an app. For example, launch a Jukebox/Kodi/Plex/etc app right from the top level wheel in Bigbox. This is something that can be done in Hyperspin and I really miss it. After that, I would like to see proper support for Pinball and Scummvm and any other systems that require a lot of work for the ordinary user to get set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Orko Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 no reason for a poll this time, the community wants database work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I should imagine the community would still enjoy watching a live stream that shows the database being worked on , it would also help users to understand process of the database and how it is maintained 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
