  1. Launchbox 13.5 windows 11 romset - MAME .256 split, plus a handful of CHD folders thrown in I'm trying to put some games, plus their associated media, onto my phone. But not all of my games. Yaknow, I don't need a billion gigabytes of unusable ROMs taking up space on my phone. problem 1 - "Export to android" copies the entire MAME romset, even when the "export these select games only" option is selected. problem 2 - "export/copy ROM files from selected games to new folder" only works properly when the new folder is placed in the same directory as the ROMS. Otherwise, it copies the entire romset into a new folder problem 3 - neither of these options copy the associated CHD folders. And none of the associated movie files are copied, although the images seem to be. When setting up Launchbox on my windows pc, I imported the entire MAME .256 romset(~40,000 files/~71GB). But I used the default filter settings. So I ended up with ~2900 mame games appearing in launchbox. The import filter is great, and worked as expected. Then I proceeded to import and configure various other platforms. That also worked as expected. After getting everything up and running, I wanted to put my games+media onto my phone. So I used the "export to android" wizard, and selected the "export my whole collection" option. I expected "whole collection" to mean the ~2900 mame games appearing within Launchbox. But it copied the entire MAME .256 romset....all 71GB worth, So, next, i tried the "export selected games only" option....same problem, the entire 71GB romset was copied. Next, i tried isolating the ~2900 MAME ROMs with the "export/copy ROM files from selected games to new folder" feature. Again, all 71GB of ROMs were copied, instead of just the selected ones. Finally, I tried the "export/copy ROM files from selected games to new folder" feature, but this time, i pointed the destination of the new folder to inside my MAME rom directory. This finally isolated the ~2900 ROMs into their own folder. But, of course, with this option, none of the associated images or videos are copied along with them.
