xdmanalo Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) New Automatic Import feature with v13.12...any way to restrict/ignore certain file types from being imported (e.g. *.mp3, *.png, etc.) or ignore sub-directories? Currently have a RetroBat & Batocera build which share the same rom directory. File structure for those front-ends includes media sub-directories within the rom directories (and an xml). The non-game file types are being captured as games using auto import. Would like to share the same rom directories with LB using the auto import by directory feature and not have to resort to importing by file.

This is a new feature so the devs are actively working on updating. It can be a bit tricky to plan for all the variations as an example Pico8 emulator uses .png as rom file. So blacklisting that would prevent Pico8 from importing. I would say if you are using that type of folder structure those other front ends use you might want to turn this feature off for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril Figgis Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I have a similar issue with one Mugen game. LB imports 53 files from the sound folder for some reason. I want to leave 'Automatic Import' enabled for Steam games and the like, but every time I delete the extra entries, close and reopen LB, they come back. If there was a way to either tell LB to exclude certain file types or if we can specify any folders that we don't want it to scrub for games, that would be a very helpful feature.

Storefront auto-imports can be managed via Tools > Manage > Storefronts, Auto ROM imports has an on/off checkbox in Options (Tools > Options) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some custom platforms that I don't want to get messed up (e.g.: PS3 disc games; PSN games). Edited August 21 by SiriusVI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you cannot turn on/off per platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, being able to tune the way the auto-importer works would be great. The mix of convenience and personalization is what makes LB special imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
