Rescanning folders

Hi, is there a way to rescan folders to easily add/remove games from a previous import?
That would also be great to inherit from scraping settings made initially

If you have the games in the Launchbox/Games folder just go to Tools/Scan for added roms or scan for removed roms. If you have your roms elsewhere you will first need to go to Tools/Manage Platforms then the folder tab and browse to the folder with your roms then run the tool.

My ROMs are not in the Launchbox/Games directory
I can't see how to run the tool from the Folder tab under Tools/Manage Platforms
Also, running Scan for Added Roms... from Tools menu and specifying the correct platform has no effect (whereas new games were copied)
Thanks again

My bad, you're absolutely right!
The path defaulted to "Games\Nintendo 64"... and was not using the original folder when importing games initially e.g. "Use the files in their current location"
I assumed the system would keep track of the original location
