smpetty Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 When I run LaunchBox (7.10 beta 3), subdirectories are automatically created in my MAME directory, even if I don't use MAME. The added subdirectories are: manuals videos bkground Discs Cart3D SteamBanners CartFront Banners Box3D snap Music BoxBack BoxFront The directories may have region folders (North America, Japan, etc) but are otherwise empty. BigBox does NOT create these directories. It makes an already busy folder all the more difficult to navigate. Is there any way to prevent this?

SentaiBrad Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 So, if it's creating the image folders, it thinks your Images folder location is that directory. If it's creating the Music, Manuals, Videos and "Images" (not the image types), then it thinks that's your root LaunchBox directory. How do you have things set up exactly? Something seems wrong if this is the case. If you didn't change the image folder location for that platform, or mess with where your LB folder is installed, then there is a bug with your set up (or it could have been some odd circumstances that's not really a bug, but bug like behavior).

Thanks SentaiBrad. I will check the setup when I get home. Nothing unusual in my setup. I never changed folder locations or LB install location. The folder names are odd - they aren't the usual names for any folders in my LB/Images folder. Here's a more complete list of the empty folders that magically appear: SteamBanners snap bkground Discs wheels Cart3D CartBack CartFront Banners marquees ControlInfo Cpanel PCB cabinets flyers Box3D videos manuals BoxFront Music BoxBack Thanks again...

smpetty Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Found it - some of the lines in my platforms.xml file were pointing to the MAME directory. Don't know how that happened, but all fixed. Thanks again Brad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Of course, no problem! That is odd, but I have no way to explain that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
