Feature Request Distribution system.

I have 1 main copy of Launchbox with all my games/systems/platforms setup.
I have 1 system in my Arcade cabinet with basically Mame games and few others

All are networked together, with shared drives.

I would like a feature that allows me to build a playlist or something, on my main system, that would copy/build/update/sync each of other systems. Kind of a smart export/build system.

Example:

if my Arcade has a new instance of Launchbox mapped to drive G, so G:\Launchbox is a clean LB install

I would like a export-ish feature that read the “export-arcade” playlist find the games/platform/artwork/meta data etc in the XML files and build G:\Launchbox files.

Copy the games from the main computer to g:\Launchbox\Games.
Copy the required emulator from main computer to g:\Launchbox\emulators.
Copy the artwork/meta data to the correct locations on g drive.
setup all the required XML data files needed.
what ever else is need to go to the arcade system and click on the launch box icon and see the games

Big ask I know, but as a developer myself, I’ve spent some time thinking about it and I’m sure it can be done.
