Quick Question on folders

[Ratmonkey]

I would like to say that this is the frosting on my MCE cake. Tom, you have made a beautiful program. I have a question about a folders option though.

I have alot of different games for each emulator. Is there a way that I can group them all into folders by name so I wouldn't have to scroll through them all to get to a certain game. Example:

I click on emulated games, then on atari 2600, it displays 27 folder names a-z and #, i click on a letter and get all the roms that start with that letter.

I have tried grouping the roms into folders and selecting the roms in folders option in the config, but it tells me that no games are found.

Is this currently possible in the current setup and if not, I humblely have a new feature request (bows).

Thanks for your input and please keep up the good work.

GameEx has some pretty good paging options to help you sort through large directories quickly.

*If you hold in button 1 and press up or down, it will page up or down one page.

*Hold in button 1 and press left or right and it goes to the next letter in the alphabet

*just press up or down without any buttons to scroll 1 at a time.

*If you have a keyboard just press the letter you want and the list goes right to it.

Not that I am opposed to folder sorting, but I don't see much need for it, and yes I have thousands of roms in some directories. OF course it's always up to Tom, and may already be supported for all I know.

Hi,

I do plan to implement folders for Emulators by the way. I like this idea, and I have most of the code already.

Also currently the Alpha paging can not be used with an MCE remote.
