Views glitch

[tbm]

So I'm having a problem with various views. Despite the fact that I checked the option to save platform specific views, it doesn't work with several views:

 

Some views stick perfectly, but then others will revert to another one. I've tested this on several themes. Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong?

Anyone?

@tbm I wasn't aware of this issue; thanks for reporting it. I'll take a look and see what I can figure out.

@tbm I'm having trouble replicating this. Can you PM me your LaunchBox\Data folder? Just zip it up and send it to me in a private message. That way I should be able to pinpoint it.

@tbm I've played with this a bit and haven't been able to replicate it, but I'm wondering if maybe it's because the platform is set to a different theme? I don't have all your themes in my test, so that could be it. Try setting the platform to a specific theme, and then set it to a specific view and see if that solves the issue. There's some complications there because certain views are unsupported in certain themes, and so that can make it a tricky process. It's also possible that I have a glitch related to non-existent views in various themes, but I think this should fix the issue regardless (hopefully).

So in testing, the only way that theme works in that view is if it's also the platform selection theme, which really isn't what I want to have to do.

Same problem here. Would be great if we could choose both theme and view for each platform !

After a fiew tests, seems some themes (aeon nox for example) make it bug when used as the main theme (for platform categories and platforms), works fine with other themes or when used for a single platform.

Ah, that's making sense. I'll take a look at this soon. Thanks @rhylek.

Any update on this?

Just ran into this issue again with CriticalZone. I set the per-platform view to "Horizontal Boxes With Details" and it reverts. Even when I edit platforms.xml to use that view and then set it to read-only, it still won't work in Big Box.

Thank you all; I think I finally have this fixed for the next beta. If the main theme had a particular view disabled, it was causing that view not to be able to be used for platform-specific themes.

So far it seems to be fixed. Great work, and thanks for helping.
