Add “Hidden” as a Filter Option

📋 Summary

Add Hidden status as a filter option in LaunchBox, allowing users to temporarily filter and view only hidden games without toggling global visibility.


Problem

Currently, hidden games are controlled via a global toggle:

  • Users must enable or disable View > Hide Games to show or hide all hidden titles

  • There is no way to filter only hidden games within the library

  • When un-hiding games, they are mixed back into the full library, making them hard to locate again

  • This limits more granular library management


💡 Proposal

Add Hidden as a filterable field in LaunchBox:

  • Allow users to filter:

    • Hidden games only

    • Non-hidden games only

  • Integrate into existing filter systems (search, sidebar filters, or advanced filters)

  • Allow Hidden to be combined with other filters (e.g., platform, favorites, genre)


📦 Benefits

  • Enables more granular library management

  • Makes it easy to review or clean up hidden games

  • Avoids constantly toggling global visibility on and off

  • Improves usability for large collections


💡 Notes

  • Should not replace the existing global toggle

  • Could be especially useful when combined with other filters (e.g., Hidden + Platform)

  • Behavior should remain intuitive alongside current visibility settings
