Playnite 6 sneak peek

Added 2019-10-13 08:58:03 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone,

here's just a small showcase of interesting new features from upcoming Playnite 6 that I've already implemented. If you missed it previous posts, the full list of upcoming features can be viewed on GitHub. I still don't know when Playnite 6 will be available, but most complicated features are already done (including support for custom metadata providers), so it shouldn't take long to finish.

Thanks to everyone for continued support!

You can now assign custom background images to a platform and choose to display it in case that game doesn't have any background image assigned (the same way it now works with icons and cover images).

You can assign custom script action to be executed before a game is started and after it exits. It can be assigned on per game basis and also globally for all games. IronPython, PowerShell and Batch scripts are supported.

There are now couple options to choose how the fonts are being rendered. If you want a pixel perfect font rendering then you can have it now (it will look better or worse depending on your system's resolution and selected application font).
