craig9oo Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 (edited) I have a load of retroarch playlists I thought I'd be able to import to LB. I'm putting them in the correct data folder, but they are .lpl files and it looks like LB wants .XML files All I'm trying to have a subset of any given platform as favourites...IE a huge SNES list, with a nested favourites under it, Which I thought importing my favourites would achieve. Short of a fix for the above is there anyway of adding a favourites playlist without having to tag each game one at a time. Frankly I'm lost at this point!

Retro808 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I deleted your other posts. Please refrain from multiple posts of the same issue and allow some times for our team or users to respond. Our community of users that respond with help is small so it may take some time to get help. However, you are welcome to bump and old thread, just do not start a new one. There is not a way I am aware of to convert those to LB format. Note that most frontends are not compatible with their data so usually you cannot use something from one frontend immediately in another. It usually requires manual manipulation. I think one of our devs made a tool for converting data into LB useable xml format, but I think it only works if that file is on xml. I will have to see if I can find it. If I do I will post it here.

craig9oo Posted November 25, 2023 Author Share Posted November 25, 2023 Thanks for your reply. Without the ability to import playlists or have games from the same system listed separately (so I could have a SNES 'platform' and a SNES favourites 'platform', for example) , I'm not sure LB is the program for me IMHO that is basic functionality. It does seem to be a theme with these programs that they go beyond the Nth degree in some obtuse area, whilst consistently lacking basic functionality I have a years sub so shall monitor developments with interest, but have returned to RA in the meantime. I'd done the hard work there and was merely looking to transfer it across to LB in search of a better look. Strange that you can install RA, but not have LB take on a RA that is already in play! I do not discount the work that has gone in to LB and other similar programs, but my years of reviewing software has repeatedly demonstrated the gulf between those designing them and those using them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
