Games disappearing after editing? 11.16 beta 2

[bikeking8]

I've already posted the issue in bitbucket but was wondering if anybody else has come across this. I edit a game, press "OK", and then it disappears from my list entirely. It's apparently still in the XML, as I need to check "Force Duplicates" when re-adding it. Thankfully, the data backup/restore process fixes any "disappeared" games, but I'm currently unable to edit anything.

What version LB are you on?

In your \Data\Platforms folder do you have any backup or secondary platform name .xaml files? This can cause issues.

Also make sure you don't have any hidden settings set. Settings like "Hide Games Missing Boxes..." as they may be causing your games to be hidden from you.

This was it, thanks. The games saved as a new platform title; the right platform but different name. I had given some platforms custom names (Turbografx 16 as opposed to NEC Turbografx 16). Maybe auto-recognizing extensions for platforms was a new feature I completely glossed over 56 versions ago, but everything's cool.

Yeah. The \Data folders cannot have extra files not generated by LB directly. So if you make backups or use something like Skraper that makes these backups you must store them outside the \Data folders.
