Playlist folder as a platform > listing of playlist > actual playlist

[neosean99]

Hey guys! This may be a silly question but placing playlists individually as a platform gets very busy. I like having all my consoles housed there, but would like one entry that says playlists to house them. I know this is in the Categories section, but I'm not a huge fan. Is it possible to have one entry with the rest of my consoles that says Playlist that will then open all my playlists created, and then open the actual playlist selected from there?

In LaunchBox using Platform Category view, right click somewhere on the listings to the left such as All, then select Add > New Category. Name your Category for playlists, and select where you want to place it on the Parents tab. Once added right click and Edit on each of the playlists you want to add to your new Category on the Parents tab.

I think this is what he said in his original post he was not a huge fan of.

I think he wants it to be shown in Platform view and not Category view. Which unfortunately @neosean99 you cannot create a "Playlist" platform. Only a "Playlist" category. The platform level is what games get imported into. The process Shinji posted does do exactly what you want. So at least there is an option to do it.

Shinji I greatly appreciate it, but what Retro said is correct. I have forgotten about the idea, and just mapped "View Playlists" and "View Platforms" to L1 and R1. I actually like the setup for a workaround. Thank you both for the input!
