Feature request for Edge Use case:

The launcher is configured to launch 3 boxes always.

  1. Opening a single box to do a trade instead of the usual play setup.
  2. Opening a single box for some casual farming.
  3. Adding the occasional 4th box to fill games.
  4. Launching a +1 from a lower configured box number without changing the settings.

Solution:

  • Manual +1 button that can be hidden via a toggle in settings. Launches another box if the limit is not already reached (limit is optional).
  • Toggle that makes play only launch +1 box within the limit of 4 on each click (limit is also optional)

Either solution would be nice. The limit would be optional to ease the need to track boxes already open.

Pls don't reject.

Thanks.

I don't think I fully understand the issue.

The launcher is configured to launch 3 boxes always.

The launcher doesn't always launch 3 boxes, you can set it to launch 0-4 per install, it doesn't always have to be 3. Can't you just configure your install to launch 1 instance in settings, and click it 4 times if you want to launch 1 box per click?

Can't you just configure your install to launch 1 instance in settings, and click it 4 times if you want to launch 1 box per click?

That's what I was expecting and wanted to use. It doesn't work, it just launches one and subsequently hitting play again does nothing as the limit is already reached.

I've tested it with other numbers, play just launches however many are missing until that limit is reached. In the case of setting 1 you can only have 1 window launched by hitting play, regardless of how many times you do press play.

I understand the point and it's really nice if you have it configured to 4 and 1 or 2 crash, you hit play and get the missing ones back only and not 4 new ones.

But if you want to just launch 1 more box by hitting play none of the settings allow that, at least I was not able to do it.

And because I missed it in the initial post:

Oh yeah you're right, it calculates the total number of boxes you configured up til 4, so if you only configure it to 1 it will see that you have 1 box launched and that your "limit" is reached and won't create another.

Might be a good idea to just switch that into launching the number you have configured, regardless of how many are already open, that would solve your problem I think, if you just configured it to 1, and every time you hit it you get 1 box.
