Feature Request: REALLY niche change for directories. A slight mix between relative and absolute directories.

Issue #7460 new
Fugus created an issue

An option where instead of having an absolute path for directories outside of Launchbox, that you can instead have Launchbox search for the drive through the label (Instead of drive letter) on startup instead.

Mainly thinking of this for cases where the games are on an external drive where the letter itself can sometimes change depending on what else is connected and the order. Potentially even having this as a per system setting later.

Mainly thinking of this because I have a multi-drive enclosure coming soon and planning on having the games on that but also sometimes have a thumb drive or other external hard drive plugged in so the drive letters can shift every so often.

This is a feature maybe one in a thousand would ever really benefit from and not a huge thing either way, just something I thought of that could potentially be added in a future release HOPEFULLY without too much issue. Just have it setup where if a drive isn’t found on startup, those systems associated with it would be greyed out and unlaunchable.

Don’t really expect it to be really added or considered too much, but figure it was worth it to put it out there.
