Treat Game Versions as First-Class Entries

📋 Summary

Improve how users browse and launch multiple versions that are already combined under a single game entry.

❗ Problem

LaunchBox supports combined games and alternate versions, but choosing a specific version can be hard to discover.

The current workflow relies heavily on hidden or less-visible actions, such as context menus. This makes it easy to miss that a game has multiple playable versions.

💡 Proposal

Add a more visible version picker for combined game entries.

This could include:

• A clearer multiple-versions indicator

• A flyout, dropdown, or carousel showing available versions

• Version labels such as region, disc, hack, translation, or update

• A quick way to launch a selected version

• An option to choose the default version

This request is focused only on improving access to versions that already exist under one game entry.

🧩 Use Cases

• Quickly launch a specific regional version

• Choose between a base ROM, translation, hack, or update

• See available versions without right-clicking

• Set a preferred default version for normal launching

📦 Benefits

• Easier version discovery

• Fewer clicks to launch the desired version

• Better visual feedback for combined games

• Encourages users to combine versions without losing usability

⚠️ Considerations

This should not require a new version metadata system. It should focus on improving the UI for existing combined games and additional versions.
