BigBox - Show a single, high-level "Playlist" platform/link alongside the hardware platforms?

[prophecy0]

Hello all. I am putting the final touches on my multicade and I've been working on setting up all of my playlists. I would like to display a single "Playlist" platform alongside all of my hardware platforms. Then, once the user selects the Playlist icon, they are shown the full list of playlists. Is this something that can be done natively? I know there is a checkbox on playlists to have them appear on the Platform screen, but I feel like having all of my playlists show up alongside the platforms clutters that screen too much. 

 

Thanks!

You can't do it Platform view.  But you can get creative and do that in Platform Category view.

Create a Category called something like Playlists.  Now edit your playlists to all have only the parent Playlists Category checked.

To make it look like you're in the Platform view, edit your platforms to all have only Root checked.

Then in Big Box, select the view Platform Categories.  You'll now see everything attached to Root. Which if done correctly, will be all your Platforms and your new Playlists Category.

 

To help get all the playlists under just the Playlists Category, you can use the plugin below.  But to get all the Platforms under just Root, you'll need to do those individually.

This got me exactly what I wanted, thank you! Also thanks for the plugin.
