DOS76 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 I was answering a question for someone who asked what functionality isn't in the Next version I definitely wasn't complaining about it and I'm well aware of what is going on. 1 Quote

Lordmonkus Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 This isn't an either / or situation. Right now Launchbox Next is just there as a preview and testing but eventually it will replace the regular Launchbox with all the functionality it always had as well as the new features that are coming.

Jason Carr Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks all. I am aware of the issue of the games not populating on first launch. Should have a new beta out early next week. 1 Quote
Jason Carr Posted March 24, 2018 Author Posted March 24, 2018 3 hours ago, NJDave71 said: Will there be a Bigbox. Next ? Pretty much all Big Box needs for a GUI refresher is a new theme, so probably not. Big Box is already pretty modern across the board tech-wise. There's certainly plenty we can do to add to it and probably performance improvements we can make (not to mention all the feature requests and items from the poll), but I don't think starting over on the Big Box interface is a good idea or would gain us any real ground. After all, LaunchBox.Next is basically built on the same tech as Big Box (WPF and a lot of the underlying Big Box code). 1 Quote

To the moderators out there, your insane dedication to this community should be applauded. The success of LaunchBox is not only attributed to Jason's work, but is also due to the enormous amount of time you guys spend answering questions on this forum. You people have my greatest respect and appreciation! 12 Quote

DOS76 Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Okay since we are shouting out every one I'd like to send some love over to all the DB mods and users who contribute stuff over there because they are also responsible for making the program and community great. 11 Quote
Drybonz Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 The LB Next looks nice. It's difficult to test or really comment on it until the menus are available, but looks promising. I'm hoping it will stimulate a lot more LB development as it had really taken a back seat. One suggestion that would help, even in early testing, would be a button to return to desktop LB. Quote
NJDave71 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I really like Launchbox.Next better than Launchbox.Previous. here's to looking forward. Quote

Jason Carr Posted March 28, 2018 Author Posted March 28, 2018 Beta 5 is out now folks. The main menu (hamburger icon) is now partially implemented (Tools and Help menu are still empty, and some items will pop up a message saying "Coming soon"). We're getting there... 7 1 Quote
Jason Carr Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 Beta 6 is out, though it's only fixes for this beta. I'm hoping the issue that some users are experiencing where the games list is empty on initial startup is fixed. Please let me know if anyone is still seeing that issue. 1 1 Quote
Drybonz Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Beta 6 ran for a few minutes, then crashed and hangs on "loading interface" when I try to restart. 1 Quote
