Snap and video snap locations

[PumpkinEd]

Is it possible now or maybe in a future update to have the snaps and video snaps stored in different folders? I need them in separate folders to use the EmuMovies Download Service Utility update feature, plus I'm a HDD neat freak and don't like having the pics and videos in one folder.

I asked for multiple paths in the entry for snaps. That would work just as well IMHO. For now I just use a custom art path for snaps.

Yeah, multiple snap paths is what I'm looking for. If you have already requested it then I'll leave it at that and wait patiently. I want gameex to show a snap picture when video is not available and I don't think I can do that using a custom art path for snaps. Am I wrong? Anyways I can just put both video and pics in the same folder and get the result I wanted. Just a little hassle when trying to update video snaps through the emumovies downloader program.

Thanks.

Agreed. That's exactly what I've been doing also. I actually keep all the artwork from EmuMovies seperate and just copy/paste it over but it's kinda a pain in the butt. I don't mind waiting though since that just works (vids and snaps in one folder).

I have videos and snaps in the same folder and have no problem with that setup at all. I don't see it as a hassle.

The only hassle is that EmuMovies download utility can't update. It has a very specific folder layout. It wouldn't be an issue for people otherwise.

I too have asked for a seperate directory.

I've made the assumption that Emumovies will in the future have all the videos for all the mame roms.

So, I keep the snaps and videos in 2 seperate folders. Thus also allows me to you the structure that the download utility uses.

I use one of the empty folders that Tom has available. I would like to see more slots available so that I can view all the media that Tom and Circo is allowing us to dl with the utility.

I have created a seperate directory called assets 2 that I'm storing the media I have that is not available from the dl service. (Such as 3d boxes and personnal ratings) I then use a empty slot and point it at my assets 2 folder.

While on the subject of ratings. I have made pngs that have 1 to 5 stars. Then in a slot, I point to the folder and then point to the start rating I want to give that game. If it is a 4 star I rename the png to that gane name and when I go to that media selection, I show a four start rating png. A little bit of work but impresses the masses when they use my cab. Does anyone else do something similar.
