Can i open directly in favorites?

[ReignerDeustcher]

I want to know if there's some way that when i click a platform in launchbox it goes directly to the favorites or maybe some playlist that i've created

if not, there's some keyboard shortcuts for going there?

Hey @ReignerDeustcher, I can think of 2 ways that might help you achieve this.

1)
In LaunchBox's search box, you can specify advanced search options to narrow down games within a specific platform. If you click in the search box you'll see a list of advanced search parameters you can use. Assuming you are leveraging LaunchBox's `Favourite` field to mark your games of favourites, you can type the following into the search field

Fav: Yes

This will then filter out any games that aren't marked as favourites. This search also stays active while you switch between platforms, meaning you can jump between platforms and it will only show your favourite games until you clear that search.

Now, I realise as of the current version of LaunchBox, the advanced search box stays onscreen while a search is active, making this method rather useless, however in our latest beta this issue has been resolved, and now the advanced search dropdown only shows when you're hovering over the search box.

2)
If you prefer a more permanent solution, you could look at creating a `Favourites` playlist that is embedded under each platform. If you right-click on a platform and select `Auto-Generate Child Playlists` you have the option to choose Favourites as one of the playlists that gets created. I understand it can be a pain having to create favourite playlists for every platform and you may not want that. I guess it comes down to if you prefer to keep platforms tidy and filter by favourites on the fly, or if you want a favourite playlist permanently embedded under each platform. 

Hope that helps give you some ideas, let me know what you think.

You could use Platform Category view instead of Platform, then create a favorite playlist under platform and just select that playlist instead of the root platform when you want to jump to just that section. Another thing you could consider is changing your "Arrange By" setting and setting it tot "Favorite". That will then put all the favorited games on top in Title sort order, with all the rest under it.
