Dr_Wolfman Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Hi, How do you add a game to Launchbox Favourites. I've tried right clicking, and checked out the drop down menus but I must be missing something. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Right Click game >Edit >Add to Playlist >Choose Favorites You can also just click on the "Favorites" (heart icon) in the game details pane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Look at the top on the right panel for a white colored heart and click it to make it red. (most themes will have it somewhere) Option #2, edit the game and check the Favorite box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRI$85 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Hello, is it possible to add favorites for a given system in a circle, e.g.: Wii Favorite, Psx etc. favorite or, unfortunately, there is only the option as in the photos, i.e. everything in one circle?

I'm not sure what you mean by "in a circle". But you can create a Playlist of all your games you've marked as "Favorite" for a specific Platform. Example for a Playlist of all your favorite Wii games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRI$85 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 This is exactly what I wanted because the main Favorite becomes a mess after adding a large number of games, and now I will be able to quickly find my favorite game from a given platform THANK YOU🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy too soon after adding, as you showed, in BB I have something like this instead of games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you named it something like "Wii Favorites" and not just "Favorites". Because I'm pretty sure that won't work. If you select one of those Favorites showing on your BB wheel, does your 'Wii Favorites' then show up? If so, then you'll want to change the Parents (just mentioned).

I did it just like in your photo. In my photo below, if I enter unique name and Nested Favorites or favorite, it says that the name must be unique because such a name already exists. As you can see on the left, in my list under All I have Favorite for all games in the main menu I've tried different names but it's always the same, i.e. what's in the photo above Unfortunately, I think I'll have to do it via auto generate child playlist and select all games and favorites, then everything works, except it's even more buried, but it turns out I have no choice 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nested Name can be whatever you want and can be the same as other playlists. The Unique Name can also be whatever you want but can't be the same as any other Unique Name. So try giving it a Unique Name of something list "My Favorites". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeViking245 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Ok. The "view" in your last screenshot is View Playlists. And in that screenshot, it looks like you only have two playlists. Not sure what the "view" is in the screenshot above it is. Going back to an earlier screenshot (which is in the Platform Category view)... It appears your 'Wii' Favorites has 2 Parents. Root and Nintendo Wii. If you edit the playlist and go to the Parents tab, it probably looks similar to this (with the checkboxes). That's why it's showing in 2 places. Un-check one or the other (probably 'Root'). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the 2nd photo above is the same as the 3rd one, except that I changed the view to make it clearer what is what Regarding the double view of Favorites in the list: 1.Top Favorites so-called all games that I add to my favorites are added there 2. This is what I write about and cause problems, i.e. My Favorites. I entered the platform category, parents as you wrote and checked it anyway In 1 I only have root selected. 2. I only have Nintendo Wii selected, if I uncheck root in the main Favorites, for example, it disappears (which is logical) but the problem still occurs the same when I uncheck Nintendo Wii, so hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This photo shows the image after entering the Wii platform after adding Favorites to the Console, Nintendo Wii wheels, when I remove my Favorites, Favorites, whatever you call it from this wheel, the list of games is displayed normally hmm Edited September 16 by KRI$85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
