Lordmonkus Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I can't seem to reproduce it again now though, so it seems like it only happens with the slider set on a very specific point. If there were numbers to indicate the scaling so we could dial it in exactly and see what the number is when it happens that would be handy.

Mr. RetroLust Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) 11 hours ago, Jason Carr said: The "All", "None", and "Exists" changing *should* only be happening when you change the language; it does automatically happen when the language is changed. If you can confirm that it is indeed happening every time though, I'll look into it, but I'm pretty sure that's not the case. Gotcha on the translations in the game details, I'll see if I can't patch that up. I've spend more time testing out the issue to give you more details: I haven't changed the language settings (keeping it set on English), but did change the text from auto translated dutch to English manually in the general/side bar settings. I have narrowed it down (I hope): It isn't at system restart that it reverts to Dutch but when launching Bigbox and going back again to Launchbox.next (haven't tried regular Launchbox but am sure it has the same problem) now it does not revert "All" to Dutch again, that one stays in English, but it does revert "(None)" and "(Exists)" back to Dutch, maybe it's the () characters that cause the problem somewhere in the code? Edit: ps "Exists" isn't translated well, it says "Uitgangen" which is translated from "Exits", it should be "Bestaat", on a side note. The new Beta (8.4.6) fixed the right-click menu language and even the right column with game details was in English. Thanks man But while I was typing this I tried to do the same in the above step; Going to Bigbox and going back to Launchbox.next it reverts back to Dutch on some menu's: Right clicking games in the main list is now still in English (this one seems to be fixed completely!), the game details column to the right has reverted back to dutch (not all row titles are in dutch though, but as you said you are still working on this one), right clicking menu on the left category/platforms column is reverted back to Dutch as well. I've attached below screenshots in case it might assist you to get an overview: Thanks for all your hard work and have a great weekend as well!

dragon57 Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) First, let me say I don't know when this started, and I'm not sure this is an actual problem with recent builds, or not. Having said that, I noticed today when I audit any platform, I got an error pointing to an xml parsing problem. I finally tracked it down to one of the plugins I have installed. When I finally backed up and deleted all plugins, the error went away. I have a number of plugins installed and wondered if there was any quicker way to figure out which plugin is causing issues versus putting one at a time back in place and starting/stopping Launchbox a number of times. Is there a list of plugins that are known incompatible with the new build? Edited June 24, 2018 by dragon57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chglcu Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 In the latest beta, using LaunchBox Next, deleting a game from a playlist switches to the all games list. Don't know if this is a new issue or not, just noticed it recently, but I think I've been doing most of my playlist management in LaunchBox classic.

Retrofrogg Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I wonder if the media size slider function could be improved. Currently it simply increases or deceases the size of the media in the main window. This means that the user has to manually fiddle with it to get the size correct in order to fill the available space. I would argue that you would never need or want to have any "wasted" space in the main window - so the size slider should "jump" to the next particular size that fills the available space. Hope this makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erebus44 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 It looks like the "displaying # of #" games is incorrect when on some of the "arrange by" options. I tested it on "Status" and get the error, but on "Title" it is correct. I am using beta 6. I don't know if it was always there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same thing happened with expanding games. My games went into a thin air after those two operations. Another issue that I found is very high CPU usage. It often gets to 60-70% for long enough while changing a genre, for instance. Even looking through games (changing them) can make the CPU go up to 60% for a while etc. Combining and expanding games hasn't been changed in ages; that said, we may still have a bug in there or two. I'll take a look at that sometime soon. I'm guessing the CPU usage is due to the caching happening in the background (assuming you're in .Next) which is by design, of course. If the progress bar is visible at the top of the window, then LaunchBox is caching images in the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Alright, beta 7 is out now with a hopeful fix for the game details translation issues in .Next, as well as a new Options dialog: These options will allow you to configure .Next to look a lot more like the original LaunchBox, if desired. There are also additional options for a uniform background color and aligning the text at the bottom (which is also now the new default). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowfire Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Great work Jason Is it also possible to have the default Game details 'No game selected' box inherit some of the settings (box opacity, UI color) so it matches the theme? Imho the black box is a bit jarring to look at on lighter themes. Btw. I'm not sure if scrollbar colorization is working? (I have the checkbox checked in 'Features'.)

Mr. RetroLust Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 @Jason Carr You did it man! I switched back and forth between .Next and Big Box and the game details where being kept completely in English, I also tried out something else with the "None, Exists" issue, this time I removed () for 'None' and 'Exists' and that seems to do the trick to let them be 'stuck' in English. At the start of the testing I saw that the "Arrange by" menu was in Dutch, I made a screenshot of this so I could show it to you but had some problems with this screenshot capture software (older software which required some windows dpi compatibility settings, it crashed a few times and I had to re-login before the dpi settings would really be set but I didn't as it could wait, I probably should have re-logged in) which was unrelated to .Next or Big Box, I then wanted to check if the arrange by menu issue would change by switching to Big Box I did so by using the Bigbox button in the main menu of .Next (normally I use direct shortcuts to the exe files in windows taskbar), when exiting out of Big Box my system crashed, I suspect it was because of the issues with the other software on the background. When force-quitting windows I started .Next and got a message that some element was corrupt, after an inspection of the xml files I found that settings.xml and bigboxsettings.xml had "null" all over the files in notepad++ luckily there where some auto backups made a minute before the crash and I could fix it easily. The funny thing is that the arrange by menu is in English now lol so everything seems to be fine & fixed! I'm sorry for the large description but I guessed the details could help you in case you want to re-construct an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
