Thanks for this 👍

I seem to have an issue with the scaling though and can't click the start button.   Also when selecting the dropdown in Number 2 it move''s the dropdown over to the right hand side.   I'm using a 4k TV so am not sure if its my scaling or the app so i thought id let you know :)

@PaulyC WinForm scaling is the bane of my existence. Give v1.0.3 a try. It adds scroll bars, so you should be able to access the whole form.

Thanks, the scroll bar works great 👍  The second issue is still present but that doesn't affect anything.

Out of curiosity, is everyone naming their files after the games title?

Thanks for the tool.

As a feature request, including the ability to select specific folders you want the tool to be run against.

For instances, 1. manuals & 2. Box front and exclude other folders.
