Choose a directory and disk for media

Issue #6599 new
Martijn created an issue

Hi,

I was doing a new install and i was surprised that it is still not possible to choose a disk and directory (up front) for all the media.

Can you make an option where we can set this up front? Maybe also make an option to move the existing media files to another location if you have already installed some systems?

As a user i want as much as possible (Launchbox, Emulators, Media, Roms) on an SSD. The rest has to be put on a mechanical drive. It is such a bummer if you decide to install launchbox and the media on the SDD to later find out that there is not enough space for additional media to fit on the SDD.

I think that implementing this would take little effort.

Can you put this feature in an upcoming poll if you still have polls?

Thank you!

    If you change the media folder in Edit Platform LaunchBox will ask you if you want to migrate your media to the new location, so SOME of this request IS possible, it just has to be done manually for every folder in every platform you want to migrate (which I admit is pretty painstaking for the task at hand if you want to move EVERYTHING), does give you an alternative while you wait for this feature to be considered and added.
