Newby launchbox question

[Disney Rob]

Just getting started with launchbox for my PC library.

I have literally thousands of games on the hard drive

As I enter each of them ONE AT A TIME

I wonder is there and option on launchbox where I can just click on the main file

and it finds all the exe files. and enters all the data.

If not wouldn't it be nice.

.exe files? ROMs should be in the extension (or zip) for that particular console system. Yes, you can just drag and drop them straight from an Explorer window directly onto the LaunchBox window and it'll start the import process.

I highly recommend starting with the Unbroken Software YouTube channel and watching their setup videos - they are very informative and will clear up all the questions and nuances of the software and its workflows.

There is no auto import process for native PC games that were not purchased through a storefront. If they are storefront bought games like Steam, Epic, Ubisoft Connect and so on, then you can follow the instructions on linking those accounts to auto-import those games.

In file explorer go to the root folder and search for "*.exe" (without quotes) and then drag the results to LB to import them all in one go

No, these are games purchased from stores in the past. Hard copies I installed on the hard drives.  They are either exe, bat, or com files to execute. I am talking games from the 80's and 90's.
