AstroBob Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Hey @shadowfire36, if you go to `Options > Visuals > Filters Side Bar` and uncheck the `Show "All" item` checkbox, does it remove both of these, or only one of them? Then, if you re-enable it, what happens? Let me know and we'll do our best to get you sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowfire36 Posted October 24 Author Share Posted October 24 (edited) it removed one if i uncheck it , if i re-enable its adds one back Edited October 24 by shadowfire36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroBob Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Great, okay so if you un-check that preference, for the one that is remaining, if you right click on it, do you have any option to edit or delete it? I'm curious if that is a playlist that has been created rather than the one that is automatically created based on the `Show All` checkbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 You likely are importing games with the platform as “All”. Check your \Launchbox\Data\Platform folder. If you have an All.xaml file there it typically means you have a game or games in your build with the platform listed as "All". If you close LB and remove that file when you reopen LB it should be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not too often what I mentioned occurs but is one of the reasons it can. Seen a couple times someone import a game to a platform then later on edit a game and accidentally alter the platform field. Are you able to right click and then edit either of those? Edit it to see what one of them is would help. One should not allow and edit as it is the one LB creates. If the other one does allow you to edit it when the edit screen opens it will show if that one is a playlist or a platform. It will likely be a playlist since there was not platform All.xaml. If so then go \Data\Playlists folder and remove the All.xaml there. You can also go to the Parents tab and uncheck the Root item checked there.

skizzosjt Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 even weirded is that they both have a Nintendo Switch platform icon! wouldn't they have had to gone out of their way to duplicate and/or rename the specific image file to "all.png" (or whatever extension it is) for that to link up?

Can you post an image of the folder contents of your \Data\Platform folder. Also that last Dreamcast rom can you right click and edit it and show a pic of the main details page. Curios why the all icon changed to platform of the last rom added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skizzosjt Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 yea the icon changing is bizarre. I think it would be worth looking in the icon images folder too in order to see if the files are being renamed or created with a different file name. for ex, did it take the Sega Dreamcast icon and rename it to All (in the end basically deletes having an icon named Sega Dreamcast), or did it create a new All file that happens to use the Sega Dreamcast icon image? (Sega Dreamcast icon still exists in this case, and it would look like there are two icon images for Sega Dreamcast, but one would be properly named Sega Dreamcast, and the other would be All) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skizzosjt Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 You should be entering the intended platform like "Sega Dreamcast" in the "Platform" field instead of "All" If you have more entries setup like that, they would need the same edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Yeah that second pic shows the platform issue. This goes back to my first post mentioning importing games with the platform as “All”. You need to choose any actual platform. I believe if that platform field is blank on import it may default to "all". I am surprised though there was no All.xaml. Edit that game and set the platform to Dreamcast then find out what other games have that showing “All”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is assuming you are a noob, not giving you a lack of credit, nor thinking you do not know how to import roms. The image you posted shows the game imported to a platform called "All" that is all I was advising. You asked why you had 2 "All" listings and thanks to the data/pics you provided we see why. I will move along and help out other posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
