This is going to make my life so much easier.

This is an excellent addition in the latest beta, and something I've been wanting for quite a while! Thanks a lot for adding this feature in there

Editing a game then navigating left/right saves changes without issue.  

When navigating in Edit, e.g. 3 games "to the right" and clicking "X" to close the window, the initial game in the Main panel is [still] selected.  But the last game that was in "Edit" is what's shown in the Game Details panel

Same scenario but clicking OK instead of "X" selects/shows the 'last game' in both panels.

LaunchBox gets stuck on "Loading Interface" every time I open the app for the first time after a boot of Windows.

I must end the process and try to open the program again. 2nd time and onward always works OK. so there is an issue with the first boot every time. started with at least v13.24 and continues to current 13.25 beta1. reverting to v13.23 this issue is not present. also, if I instead open Big Box first, Big Box boots fine. I can then open LaunchBox OK, even if it is the first time launching it on that boot. so to be more specific, LaunchBox gets stuck on Loading Interface after boot of Windows as long as Big Box has not been launched first.

It's not 100% of the time anymore as previously stated, but this happens far too often to just ignore this issue. Gets stuck on "Loading Interface..."

For ex, I opened LB fine this morning, update to the beta-3 version, and as the beta auto launches after updating it happens to get stuck on Loading Interface. It's anyone's guess as to whether this is going to happen if it's the first time LB is booted since booting into the OS or if it is multiple boots of LB once booting into the OS. 

As always when it does occur, I must force close and try again.

 

 

Progress tracking is now messed up for at least Steam games. I have many marked as "Done / Beaten". Now when I click on them they are all auto updating to "Active / In Progress" or "Active / Paused" depending on when last launched.  Actually all Steam games are auto updating in ways that no user would want. If I set a value, that's what I want it to be. The way it is currently working means I cannot ever use automated progress tracking and expect any Steam game to use a "Done / Beaten" value as they all get changed automatically against my intentions. This sure seems new to the beta, and I confirm by rolling back to beta-2 this behavior is not there. It's introduced right now in beta-3.

You have features within this progress tracking feature fighting with each other. I want automatic progress tracking, but it cannot fight me when I want to set something manually. 

Another example, Steam game has 100% achievements, and is being automatically updated to Done / Mastered. But maybe user wants it to remain on "Active / In Progress".....right now, this is also not possible. Automated system is too heavy handed in its current iteration.

 

 

Steam Trailers are not fully fixed. 

Unfortunately don't think this is really fixed. I'm still finding some games that cannot download trailers

Issues persist with some games with "new" trailers. Now, nothing shows up for those games for video download options. ie there is no "Steam Trailer Video" checkbox selection available for these games despite there being trailers on their page. Prior to beta-3 it gave the option, but would fail with an error. Here is another example... 

HITMAN WORLD OF ASSASSINATION (formerly HITMAN 3) just uploaded a new trailer for new game content released just now in December. Now this game cannot download any game trailer from within LB. It has no Steam Trailer Video option available when I click the download media button. Same goes for all previously mentioned games with more recent trailers. 

It is otherwise fixed for "legacy" games that are not impacted by having trailers recently uploaded. 

edit: I checked the games I personally mentioned, Tormented Souls 2, Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, HITMAN World of Assassination, all these games cannot download trailers as mentioned above. I thought afterwards to check some of the games the other fella mention, Marvel Rivals and Absolum come up empty still for example. But Ninja Gaiden Ragebound will give the option to download its trailer now. So, maybe fixed some of the games falling into this issue, but did not fix all all of them.
