CRITICAL AUDIT DELETE ROMS ISSUE! Wrong roms deleted!

Issue #2401 new
duhmez created an issue

The audit feature is fully broken in a certain situation. When you import your roms from a location, and you let the import COPY the roms into launchbox games\ folder, then I audit the roms (nes) it actually audits them from the location they were imported FROM, and not from the location whee the imported games actually are. (Launchbox\games\nintendo entertainment system)

Then I deleted all roms in the audit page, and it deleted the wrong roms from the folder I originally mported them from. The window is empty now in launchbox nes section but all the roms are still there in launchbox folder and my source files are gone.

    Also take note, this is probably important, I COPIED them to my launchbox games folder during import, Id did not MOVE them there.

    Hi duhmez, I just a did a test by importing some ROMs and copying them over the LaunchBox folder, and then auditing and deleting the games. Everything worked properly (the ROMs in the LaunchBox\Games folder were properly deleted and not the original files that I dragged into LaunchBox). So I must be missing something.

    If you go to Tools > Manage Platforms, what is your Games folder set to for NES?

    This is super weird! My deleted source roms folder was d:\onedrive\roms\nes\ empty. My launchbox nes games list shows only 4 roms now (I deleted all but 4 actually, not entirely all) so only 4 show up as playable.

    To answer your question Games\Nintendo Entertainment System (Nes) I have one thought, could it somehow be an old bug that is not longer present? What I mean is I imported these roms a long long time ago and back then it did somethign weird?

    I will link below a couple screenshots too so u know I am not crazy, my launchbox and folder structure. U can grab the 3 screenshots from my dropbox folder link below! Very odd indeed! Also Iwill definitely test this again myself soon and report back with a fresh import to see if something weird is up with my instalation only or something.
