deucebane Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Hi all I just installed windows fresh on a new drive and wanted to get launchbox up and running, but only with my roms. I dont want to use launchbox for my steam library etc. Is it possible to prevent the automatic import of every game when you install? I dont want all that media installed for games other than my roms I love launchbox for managing dozens of roms across numerous systems, and want to just keep it for that. What's the best way to either prevent Launchbox from importing my whole library, or trim it down once its already done so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Go to Tools > Options > General > Automated Imports and turn it off. Then delete the platform(s) that have been imported and you can continue to use LB the way you are wanting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 A few things to note: LaunchBox will only import supported storefront games that you have currently installed If you delete one of these games from LaunchBox, it won't ever be automatically imported again There's the option to turn this feature off, like C-Beats mentioned Anyone who upgraded to 13.6 will have this option off by default Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcoatjez Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Ok, thank you for your reply. I assumed that it was disabled by default from now on, also for fresh installs. Too bad it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those auto imports are driving me crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
