Bedwyr Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Very odd. I'm on 8.4 beta and noticed that the box back flip view doesn't work on either Launchbox or Big Box. I've tried restarting, switching back and forth between BB and LB, rebooting, and re-scraping sources. The only thing left I can think of is some kind of program confusion over box back vs reconstructed. edit: Should this be in beta? Edited August 1, 2018 by Bedwyr clarification Quote
DOS76 Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 Just tested this in next working fine for me didn't look into it in BigBox. Quote
Bedwyr Posted August 1, 2018 Author Posted August 1, 2018 I did have a crash for which I needed to replace settings and platform xml files. I don't think there's a connection though as the replacement files were from 15 some minutes previous. Any further troubleshooting suggestions? Quote
Retro808 Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 What image type view are you using? Certain views the flip does not work such as 3D box. I use only normal box cover images and like Dos it works for me. So I tested a few other views and it does not work in other types. Quote
DOS76 Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 yeah my testing was with regular box fronts also and it was working then. It may be by design that it only works between those two but I'm unsure on that. Quote
neil9000 Posted August 1, 2018 Posted August 1, 2018 yeah as far as i understand it the flip only works if you have a image of the reverse, so box-front, box-back and cart-front, cart-back should work, nothing else will i bet as its not actually flipping the image its just showing a different one.

Bedwyr Posted August 1, 2018 Author Posted August 1, 2018 That was it. I think I'll make this a feature request. Reasoning: 3D Box display substantially shows the front of the box, just in a pleasingly physical manner. It would still be good to see the backside even if the backside is not 3D. Also it means that in Launchbox there is a "button" (the flip icon on a game's popup) and in BigBox a line item that does not work. Quote
Bedwyr Posted August 2, 2018 Author Posted August 2, 2018 Done: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/4406/request-that-box-flipping-to-see-the-back Quote
neil9000 Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 Each to there own, but i couldn't think of anything more boring than flipping boxes. I would much rather get to the games as quick as i can. Quote
Bedwyr Posted August 2, 2018 Author Posted August 2, 2018 Heh. If I wanted that I'd just ask for a CLI to launch games in 8 keystrokes or less. This be all about teh eyecandy. Quote
