Tables in sub folders

[sdcomputers]

is this available as an option as I cannot find anyway of doing it

I have all my tables in folders and really want to keep them that way but Pinballx dosnt fine any tables if i set the path to the table directory

no subdirectory support. If you have a folder for vpx tables and another folder for vp9 tables you should create 2 systems

Might depend on what your folders are, if you have them grouped by system then as @joyrider3774 suggests you can create separate systems in pinballx with different table folders.

If you have each table in it's own folder then you're probably out of luck -unless you happen to have named the folders the same as the table name or similar... i've never tried but you might be able to change the launch parameters for visual pinball to something like /play -"[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILEWOEXT]\[TABLEFILE]"

Like i say, never tried it, and would depend totally on what your folder names are. Available launch parameters are [TABLEPATH], [TABLEFILE], [TABLEFILEWOEXT], [MANUFACTURER], [YEAR], [SYSTEM], [RATING], [DESCRIPTION]

Thats awesome.  Never realized to do this. Hmmm... maybe an extra feature in databasemanager ?  I like to have sub folders too

Well it is a bit niche, but the major problem at the moment of going down the sub folder route is the manual overhead of remembering to change a folder name as well if you change the visual pinball file name (or whatever data is being used for the launch parameter).. so yep, could be added to database manager on change of table info to change folder name based on launch params, but would be manual for now. Hopefully @sdcomputers will confirm if he can use it with his folder naming, and if it even works as expected..
