Setting a Platform's Game folder appears to serve no purpose AND get's reset to default.

Issue #2069 invalid
Former user created an issue

Version 7 beta 19. Windows 10

Edit a platform and specify a new Game folder (platforms.xml successfully updates). Import some new ROMS and the Game folder gets reset back to the default.

Apart from this bug, the Import ROMS wizard and this folder setting have some possible usability issues too. For example: 1) With a new default Games folder set for a platform, shouldn't the Wizard ask to Copy or Move to this folder instead of the default Launchbox one for that platform (which you have essentially changed in the Platform properties)? 2) When you file dialog opens, should it not now default to the new Platform folder you've specified? Admittedly this one would require the Wizard to ask which System first.

    Hi Anonymous, I can't seem to replicate the games folder getting reset after an import. Also, the importer does use the correct changed path for me. Hit me up with more details if you can and we can dive in further.
