Game Media Default Directory's

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to LB loving it so far, its so much easier to use than Hyperspin!! anyway, not sure if this question has been asked before, I couldn`t find it after a quick search.. soo.. Is there any plans or current features inside of LB that I can use to change the root/default media directory's for my platforms? like there is for Roms?

As it stands atm, my media sits on a network location shared by multiple devices, and whenever I create a new platform I have to either edit the platform paths for each media location, i.e. front box, 3d box etc.. which is very time consuming. Or I can use Notepad++ after I have added the platforms to find/replace all the paths in the platforms.xml which is much quicker. Just wondered if there were anything I've missed in the settings or plans to add it in LB itself rather than have to use external programs?

This is already possible, but it's tedious to do as you have to do it for each image type, and for each platform. Simply head to Tools/Manage Platforms and go to the folders tab, you can then browse for each media type.

Yeah I noticed those, as you said it's just a little tedious that every time you create a new system you have to update them all again, shame that there is not an option to choose a default root location for your media/artwork. 

Also I noticed that their is an entry for a path for theme videos in the XML but not in the LB settings. ?
