not searching retrobox folder

Postby natemac00 » Thu Dec 20, 2018 5:17 am

I had to do a fresh install of RetroX on a new drive.
I had the software create the "retrobox" folder automatically so I could add my roms into the given folders easier.
When I added my roms I could never get it to add the roms, I noticed if I moved the rom folders to a folder called "retrox" and did a Force Rescan, it would finally find the roms.
But only after putting them in a different named folder and only when doing a Force Rescan.

something seems to be up with this, I don't remember it being so finicky before, everytime I loaded the app it loaded any additional roms i thought.

The initial versions of RetroX loaded the roms at each start, but many people complained that their roms disappeared... when they took off their drives. When I mean "many", I would say "a lot". So it was healthier for me to change the app to scan by user request and not automatically.

That works for me, what about the app creating a “retrobox” folder but not searching it. But it does automatically search a “RetroX” folder that is manually created.
