HourEleven Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 All of my roms are on my server, with Launchbox running on my local machine. Windows had a super annoying issue where it wouldn't auto-reconnect to the server when it was mounted as a network drive so I just said screw it and made it a Network Place which windows decided to be cool with. Now, when I try and go to "Manage Platforms" in Launchbox to reassign the folders, I get a popup saying "A directory could not be created: (old network drive location for my amiga games)" then a crash to desktop. Is there a way to change the default folder assignments for platforms in a file outside the application? If there isn't, is there a easy way to port over the metadata to a clean install so it doesn't have redownload images (and have me clean up metadata again) for all 13k roms?

HourEleven Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 I found "/Data/Platforms/" and did a find/replace in the xml with the new location, but launchbox gives me the same crash, is it reading it from someplace else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HourEleven Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Found it, "/Data/platforms.xml" also needed a find/replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HourEleven Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Got it. Just in case anyone else runs into the problem, you can open the xml in a text editor (I used notepad++) and do a find/replace but you need to do both locations to stop the crash when opening the platforms menu: /Data/platforms.xml && /Data/Platforms/ (specific_system_name).xml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briantodd Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Did anyone figure out what exactly to do with the .xml file that is referenced above to address the “directory could not be created “ error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
