Tromzy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Hi, I'm trying the licenced Android version of Launchbox and so far, I love it. There is one important feature that is missing : the ability to exclude some files when importing games. For example, my Turbografx CD folder is full of .ogg files and Launchbox added them all in my TG-CD library, where all I wanted was the .cue files. There are so many files that I cannot remove them all manually. It would be nice to be able to tell Launchbox to only include some file extensions (like .iso, .cue, .zip, etc.) when importing games.

Jason Carr Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 @Tromzy There's no need for this, as you can easily do just that within the file browser dialog. For example, if you want to import only .cue files, just add files in the wizard and then type *.cue into the search bar. Then just select them all.

Tromzy Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Thank you for answering, but I'm not sure I understand. When I import games, there is no search bar, the wizard only allows me to select a folder. What am I missing here ? Unless you're saying I should import all the files, then search for the cue files once the playlist is generated ? It means I would have to do it every time I want to play a TG-CD game ?

In the import wizard you have options to either import from a folder, or select a bunch of files. You would use the option to browse for files, not the folder option.

Thats not available in the Android version though, which is where this post is, you just get the option to import a folder on Android, and all files in that folder are pulled in.

Duh, thanks. Whoops. Yeah, we're going to add something to Android to solve this soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromzy Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Anyway, I worked around the issue by temporarily moving all the files except the .bin, .iso and .cue and that way I could make my playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtastrophe Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Hello, Happy New Year !! Soooo any update on this filter feature request. It is needed so badly and this post is a year old now. I hate having to skip thru all the raw files, isos and everything else to get to the next game. Very ugly selection interface. I get it that there are workarounds but it's not convenient to move large amounts of files around on my Nvidia shield. All the file management programs I've used so far are just not as functional as on a PC. Also, do you think we can get launchbox 9n Android to not have to reboot every time we turn on our mouse. A complete database re-check seems so unnecessary everytime Launchbox decides it wants to reboot for this and other random reasons 🤦 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
