LB not finding new roms

I added PS1 today and imported before I had all my roms in place.
After it was done I had about 10 more games to import and added them to the directory.
Under tools I scanned for added roms... it turned up nothing... I tried a few times. Re-booted LB... still no luck.
I thought perhaps because these particular roms (cue/bin) were in their own folders that may have caused an issue... moved a cue/bin in the root of the rom folder... still no luck.
I ended up re-importing the folder... although I had to remove the already existing roms from the list first.
This worked fine... but this particular situation made this easy as all the new roms were variations of only 2 games and I only have about 100 PS1 roms.
If I was adding random roms to a console with a 1000 roms this solution would not be to user friendly.
Any idea why its not finding the added roms?

Do you have your roms in the default \Launchbox\Games folder or in a different folder?

You have to make sure you have the path set for your roms in Launchbox if it is in a folder other than the default Launchbox\Games folder. Highlight a platform and right click, edit on the name. In the folders tab you need to change the default games folder path to where you have your roms. Also it may not work if in the folder each game has its own subfolders. I believe Launchbox will only search a main folder for the rom files. All my PS1 files are in a single PS1 folder.

Thanks, that got her. I actually did look at that but for some reason didn't decided to change it.

I have an 'emulator' folder inside my LB folder. Inside of each of those I have my roms folder.

Actually, and this was a one time thing for no important reason with the PS1 emulator... I actually had roms in two separate folders. I was wondering how LB was going to keep on 2 folders... I consolidated them yesterday and rescanned.

On a side note LB did scrape the dozen or so games that are in individual folders. The only ones I have in separate folders are the ones with multiple .bin files... some of them have 30+ files.
