The game is always put in the default platform 'PC', even if I've previously removed that platform from the Library Manager.

I arrange my platforms with a number prefix for organisation, i.e. "01. PC", "09. Nintendo DS", etc. This means I'm constantly having to manually change platforms of new additions.

Make sure your "01. PC" platform has "PC (Windows)" specification assigned to it and Playnite will use that instead of creating new platform entry.

Cheers, fixed.

But, a slight issue with it. I changed my "01. PC" platform to have that specification, had not yet removed the auto-generated PC platform below it on the platform list, and adding a game still put it in the latter auto-generated platform. Fixed after removing the auto-gen platform and re-adding a game.
