kiddanplay Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hey everyone... I had a previous HD from a HS setup and I am now setting up LB. I already have all downloaded metadata and video snaps for all my systems. Currently LB is installed on my C drive and i have all my roms and metadata living on my D drive for my new build. Is there anyway to link those video snap folders to LB without having to move the physical data to my C drive in the LB folder? I'm using a Solid state for my C drive and one 8TB for my rom drive and therefore dont want to crowd my solid state with all the metadata. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Yeah, just right click a platform in Launchbox and Edit it, then go to the Folders tab and point it to your video folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) That solution while viable its really slow and tedious. If you are more of an advanced user you may want to look into symlinks to get them to show in the default paths while actually residing on your other drive.

damageinc86 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I pointed all my platforms to my HS video folders when I first got launchbox. Within a month it became clear that I wouldn't be going back, so I physically moved them all to launchbox' video folder . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
