RetroFanZ Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi all! I am currently making playlists. I would like to be able to make a playlist in a playlist. let me explain. Take for example a street fighter playlist if I take my current collection I have 4 or 5 street fighter alpha 3 I would like to be able to select a single street fighter alpha 3 Logo but that brings me to another play list offers all SFA3 that I have. I don't know if it's complicated but it can do a really nice thing. or choose on launch:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 @RetroFanZ You should be able to do this in LaunchBox in the Platform Categories sidebar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 In the LaunchBox platform categories view of the sidebar, you can right click on any playlist and add a new playlist underneath it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I see, thanks for the report. I was under the impression that this was possible, but I'm seeing the same thing. Not sure if it's always been that way or if a bug was introduced. We'll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 So I had forgotten that you can't add anything underneath playlists. This has been a restriction for a long time, that I just forgot about. I think there were performance and caching implications there, which is why we specifically don't allow that. I've put it on our list of items to tackle, but we'll need to do some significant testing when we put it in, so it might be a while. In the mean time, the best option is to just use categories instead of playlists whenever you need to nest something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 One more note, because of the Big Box interface, if you add anything under a playlist, you won't ever be able to access it in Big Box. So I think that's the biggest reason why it wasn't implemented that way. Though I understand that not everyone uses Big Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroFanZ Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Thank you for your return. I was afraid of not having understood you and therefore of being a little annoying unnecessarily. But all's well that ends well. I'm mainly a big box user so too bad for me! .Thank you again! One last request and I stop lol. would it be possible in the future to be able to choose the version at launch? I explain to myself like the user creating a playlist and when launching on the startup screen he can choose which version he wants to launch? USA, Jap, Euro Or other. Thanks for paying attention to this post and thanks for the work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for paying attention to this post and thanks for the work! This is already possible, though not through the startup screen. Different versions are added as additional applications. So you can choose which version to launch by choosing Additional Apps/Versions in the game details menu in Big Box, or in the right-click menu in LaunchBox.

Edit: Actually, it would be best if you could create a new ticket for it under Help & Support -> Request a Feature in the header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
