Playnite 9 development update #4
Hello everyone,I apologize for big delay since last update. There was nothing that interesting I've done since last update worth showing. I mainly worked on some background refactoring: Completely rewritten grouping support on Grid view. 3rd party library I was using was really buggy so I had to write custom implementation for Playnite. Moved some things like exclusion list and filter presets from settings files to game library. Additional improvements to Fullscreen mode (better mouse support, theming improvements, performance). Switched da...

Playnite 9 feature prioritization
Hello everyone!Prioritization poll for Playnite 9 is now available here. Deadline is on 18th.I didn't separate features based on complexity this time, because Playnite 9 was already planned to include long awaited improvements to emulation support, which requires a lot of additional features to be added as well. Therefore the poll doesn't include really big features, because it would bloat the release too much. You can see list of features already planned for Playnite 9 here.There's also a separate poll for SDK features here. If you...

Development update #2
Hello everyone!This is another development progress report for Playnite 8, this time with screenshots!My current plan is to hopefully release Playnite 8 for patrons by the end of this month, since most problematic and complex features should be implemented already. One feature that's likely to be postponed to Playnite 9 is game grouping on Grid view. I'm having a real hard time implementing it in some performance acceptable manner and I may remove it from Playnite 8 scope if it's going to be the only thing blocking release.As always...
