    Configuring Clear Logo and Icon for Playlists, Categories, and Platforms Enhancements

    While in the Edit popup screen for Playlists, Categories, and Platforms it shows you the currently configured Video and allows you to easily browse to any video file you want. This is nice and easy to work with.

    But when it comes to configuring either a Clear Logo or an Icon, I find it’s not so straight forward. I know that the Clear Logo is shown on the right side, under the Images view. But it doesn’t allow configuring things as easily as the video is done.

    And for the icon, it isn’t even referenced on this screen.

    I know that not all views in Launchbox even show these things, but for where it does, I think this would make it easier to fill in the gaps. As right now, I have a bunch of shortcuts on my desktop that take me to the correct spot, when I’m wanting to add new content.
