Includes the following new settings under Appearance:

- Show Collections Promotion
If all systems are hidden, the files in the Collection folder are force promoted to the main screen. This setting controls whether or not that will happen if you want to keep them behind a Collections menu item.

- Sort Collections Entries
This setting will force entries in a Collection file to be displayed in the order they are in the file. A use case would be to list games in a specific order, such as order of release for games in a series.

- Use Collections Nested Map
Collections only support a single map.txt file in the root of the Collections folder. This will check for a map.txt file in a Collections subfolder and use it for entries in that subfolder. If one doesn’t exist, it will fall back and look for one in the Collections folder root. A use case would be adding platform tags to games in a Franchise specific collection folder, and have the custom names appear only there and not in a separate collection the same game may appear in such as another collection of just games for a single platform.

- Show Quickswitcher UI Games Icon
If all systems are hidden for a “Collections Only” setup, the Games icon will still display in the Menu alongside the Collections icon. This allows you to control whether or not you want it to still display.
