8.9-beta-1 Released


Jason Carr

Recommended Posts

The first 8.9 beta is out now with the following:

- Improvement: Empty playlists will now show up in the LaunchBox sidebar when viewing platform categories; this should reduce confusion when adding a new playlist and leaving it empty

- Improvement: When manually adding a new platform via right-click in the platform categories list, LaunchBox will now warn you that it's not recommended to manually add platforms and to use the import processes instead. It also warns the user that categories and playlists should be used instead of platforms for nesting purposes.

- Fixed: Add to Playlist functionality was accidentally still restricted to premium

- Fixed: Editing a playlist that had no parents was putting it back into the root by default

- Translation updates

The current plan is to put out a bugfix release on Wednesday, assuming these betas go well. These updates/fixes aren't major issues, but they have caused enough confusion to warrant a bugfix release. Let me know how this beta fairs.

Hi @Jason Carr

in the new beta I still have the issue with the 'year' playlists. ?

In the edit window the games are there.

Thanks for the reminder. I *think* this is a culture issue and I think I have it fixed for the next beta. I can't replicate it on my end though, so you'll have to let me know once the beta comes out, probably tomorrow.

Ok, under 8.9 the behavior did not repeat. I could probably confirm that by running the tests once more with an update pending.

Okay, very good to know. I think it's safe to assume that it's being caused by the update popup somehow. I'll look into that. Thanks for all that testing @Bedwyr.

Still having the problem of certain media not showing in the game details pane. For example, many of my NES games have a front cart image, but they are not showing in the game details pane.

The game details sidebar has never shown *all* types of media, though I agree that it probably should, or at least we should provide the option. I believe that currently it just shows screenshots and fanart.

 You can force it by adding those image types to either the Screenshot or Fanart image priorities.image.thumb.png.2c5f4797af5efc50fd6ab50a4e231a47.png

BTW, what image source are you guys using for 3D boxes? Mine are much more angled; this might be a decent in-between appearance.

If you mean the snes one specifically, they are from emumovies, as you say the ones on our database are much more slanted, i dont like them personally.
