The Ability to add multiple Game Folders per Platform to be used with Scanning and Monitoring Functionality

LaunchBox for Windows

I was wandering why there's no way to add more than one rom path folder per system in LaunchBox. For example, I have Sudachi installed and working with LaunchBox with the game path "E:\Switch Games", but I have other path with Switch roms in "C:\Sudachi\Roms" and when I add new roms in the secondary path I have to open LaunchBox, choose the emulator and change the roms path to the secondary path, with this change LaunchBox find the new roms added, then i have to change between path number 1 or path number 2, I can't chooce both paths to be monitored by LaunchBox all the time. Most of the time i choose the first path instead of the second, so when i add roms to second path I have to do this again and it's annoying. If you use the tool to add roms and emulators and create a new entry it's the same because only one path can be chosen. Please add the option to add more than one rom path per game.

    I was about to make a very similar post when this popped up on the suggestions.

    I use RomVault to manage my games, currently combining all dat files per platform into a single folder. This works but can make it annoying to keep track of some things. Ideally I would love to be able to have additional folders for things such as ROMhacks, translations, aftermarket etc. and have them all scan for automatic imports without them all being seperate platforms.

    I ran out off space on my Launchbox drive and now have a bunch of games on another drive so this would be helpful.
