Not to necro a 2 year old thread, but did you ever find a solution? I recently did a favor to my electric bill by trading my loud hot server rack for a stack of mac minis. I've been running launchbox on my main workstation (up to date Win11) with all my emu files on the (windows or linux) servers for the past 7/8 years or so. Now I'm having the same issues as described above since migrating to the new macs (also up to date OS). I can't import without crash saying invalid permissions. I can drag and drop from the mounted network drive and they show up, but I can't select any game without crashing for permissions when it tries to load images/manuals for the selected item from the mac. The drive has full share permissions ('everyone' has read/write permission, I even checked the box for 'ignore ownership on this drive') and is mounted with the user/pass of the admin account of the mac. I even chmod 777ed the entire directory.

Currently all my multi-disc PSX games have the extra track files and extra discs merged into the "additional apps" section of the metadata. When i use the export for android, do I then go and manually transfer the extra discs/files, or should I un-merge the games in Launchbox before export so they get packaged as separate games?

Got it. Just in case anyone else runs into the problem, you can open the xml in a text editor (I used notepad++) and do a find/replace but you need to do both locations to stop the crash when opening the platforms menu: /Data/platforms.xml && /Data/Platforms/ (specific_system_name).xml

Found it, "/Data/platforms.xml" also needed a find/replace.

I found "/Data/Platforms/" and did a find/replace in the xml with the new location, but launchbox gives me the same crash, is it reading it from someplace else?

All of my roms are on my server, with Launchbox running on my local machine. Windows had a super annoying issue where it wouldn't auto-reconnect to the server when it was mounted as a network drive so I just said screw it and made it a Network Place which windows decided to be cool with. Now, when I try and go to "Manage Platforms" in Launchbox to reassign the folders, I get a popup saying "A directory could not be created: (old network drive location for my amiga games)" then a crash to desktop. Is there a way to change the default folder assignments for platforms in a file outside the application? If there isn't, is there a easy way to port over the metadata to a clean install so it doesn't have redownload images (and have me clean up metadata again) for all 13k roms?
