Set Theme & View for multiple Playlists in Big Box at once

LaunchBox for Windows

📋 Summary

Currently in Big Box, themes and views can only be set individually for each playlist. For users with many playlists—such as auto-generated genre playlists—this process becomes tedious. This request proposes the ability to set the theme and view for multiple playlists at once.

🎯 Feature Overview

  • Add bulk-edit support for playlists in Big Box to configure Theme and View.

  • Option to apply changes to:

    • A selected group of playlists.

    • All playlists under a specific Platform or Category.

  • Preserve existing per-playlist customizations unless explicitly overridden.

📦 Benefits

  • Saves time for users managing large numbers of playlists.

  • Makes it easier to maintain consistent aesthetics across related playlists.

  • Reduces repetitive work, especially after generating auto-populated playlists.

    Set Theme & View for multiple Playlists in Big Box at once

    Not sure if this is already possible, but I like to tweak what theme & view I use, based on the platform. I know how to do this per playlist, but when you have multiple playlists under a given Platform, think when you auto generated genre playlists, it can be tedious doing them one by one.
