Add the ability to filter for items that have no value assigned in a given field (specifically Region, but applicable to others). This would allow users to easily locate games missing region data, which currently cannot be surfaced through existing quick filter options.
Introduce a new filter value: [None] (or Unassigned) within LaunchBox’s Quick Filters menu.
This filter would:
Display all games where the selected field has no value set
Work for Region, but also be extendable to other fields such as:
Genre
Developer / Publisher
Release Type
Version
Platform-specific metadata
Integrate seamlessly into the existing filter dropdowns
Display [None] alongside existing values (e.g., Europe, Japan, North America)
A user imports a large batch of ROMs intended for a single region, but a few files are missing region metadata.
Currently:
These games do not appear under any region filter
There is no built-in way to locate them
The game count appears incorrect, but the missing entries are invisible
With this feature:
User selects Region → [None]
All region-less games appear instantly
They can quickly bulk edit and assign the correct region
Makes data cleanup significantly easier
Prevents games from becoming “lost” due to missing metadata
Helps maintain accurate library organization
Improves consistency in bulk import workflows
Extends naturally to other fields where missing values matter
This feature should integrate into both LaunchBox Desktop and Big Box (where applicable).
[None] should only appear when at least one item actually contains no value for that field, to avoid unnecessary clutter.
