Nocta Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) HI guys, I like to order my games by genre but so many games are included in several genres and it makes the navigation tedious. Is there a way to force Launchbox when downloading metadata to only add one genre for each game (it seems that most of the time the last genre is the main one)? Thanks.

SolidHyunkel Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Apparently not. But I insist this is a must-have. You can add a few tags to each game and that would allow you to browse in new ways your ever-expanding library. For example: Contra III @action @run'n'gun @Sci-Fi @post-apocalyptic @difficult. Clicking one or more of this tags would filter any other similar games, so you could see similar games like Turrican, etc. Quote
Retro808 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 I recommend submitting a ticket on bitbucket for the community to vote on adding this as a feature. The more the community votes for it the better to let Jason know how much it is really wanted. It may be worth seeing if someone has already submitted a request for this as well. 1 Quote
Lordmonkus Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 The problem with forcing a single genre on import is that for many games it would be subjective opinion on what genre a game would belong to. 2 Quote
Nocta Posted February 24, 2018 Author Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Done! https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/3922/request-choosing-how-many-genres-are @Lordmonkus I agree with you but I'd rather have this over having one game in 3 different genres and feeling like my library is bloated. But it's super personal I'm aware. Edited March 14, 2018 by Nocta Quote
