Llars Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 When editing a platform there's a tab called Folders that has paths to all of the image directories. Is there a way to remove some of these entries? For example there's no need for the arcade folders on a console platform and I don't really want or need the fanart. I'd rather not have a bunch of empty folders for media types I don't have, it's an OCD thing. I tried removing the entries from the Platforms.xml file but as soon as I relaunch the application the folders get re-added to the xml file. I would think / hope that this would be tied to media downloading so that if a media type is removed from a platform that media type would not appear in the selection screens for media downloading.

DOS76 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 No it just creates all the folders despite not needing them all if you remove them they will return empty folders take up very little space so to me it isn't a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Empty folders take up precisely zero space, not even a single byte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llars Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yeah it's not really a matter of taking up space I have this on a 4TB drive. It's a matter of having to skim down through a list of nested folders when I am trying to find something (I'm still adding media) and the big issue is anytime I scrape an individual game I have to uncheck all the stuff I don't want.

The latest release remembers your import settings including which media to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llars Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Yeah I noticed that. What I am referring to is going to Edit Game then Download Images/Media. I have been having issues with the scraper not pulling media for every game on the import but if I do edit game it finds them. Every game is named properly so that it finds it in the DB during import so I don't know why chunks of games aren't getting media downloads.

Llars Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 What I've been doing is just downloading everything then going in and deleting the folders for things like 3D carts after the fact. That seems to be the quickest way as opposed to unchecking the boxes every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The import name matching is stricter than the edit game matching. This is to ensure you don't get a load of mis-matched games on initial import. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
