Edit List Columns / Playlists

[BurgerTrench]

Hello,

I'm new to LaunchBox and I'm wondering if there is a way to add custom columns into the list view for additional metadata/sorting options.  I did a cursory search on the forums and on google in general and only found posts from 2016 where the feature was being considered for implementation.

Additionally/alternatively, I see that there are folders/xml for playlists but I do not see any option natively in the LaunchBox GUI.  Is it possible to create custom playlists?  Specifically so that a random game could be selected from a subsection of games (e.g. random fighting game, random Nintendo published game, random 8-bit game, etc)

Other than that, I'm liking what I'm seeing so far and have already bought the yearly license.  Thanks!

Playlists can be created in Launchbox by right clicking over a platform or platform category name in the left hand pane of Launchbox where those are listed and a pop-up will give you the option to create new "category", "platform" or "playlist".

I do not believe any new options were implemented in regards to your question about adding custom columns for additional sorting.
