[FEATURE REQUEST] Option to "Use Folder Names" for "Scan for Added Roms"

Issue #4664 new

Please extend your "Use Folder Names" functionality to work inside "Scan for Added Roms!"

I use launchbox as a front-end for MESS, by creating soft-links for the ROMs inside individual folders with the plain-text game name.

The import-ROMs wizard allows me to add games based on folder name, but each month when MESS is updated, it requires me to add / update individual platform folders, which takes hours!

If I could place the softlinks immediately inside the Launchbox\Games folder, and use the 'scan for added ROMs' tool, I could keep my MESS library updated in one maneuver!

This isn't going to be a common request, but please keep me in mind!

I've attached the script I use for creating NES soft-links, with plain-text folders.

It's a modification of one, provided by dingodan on your Forum.

Maybe the same script (or logic) could be used to natively import MESS, one day.

Thank you very much in advance.
