Feature Request: better games media organization options

0chroma opened this issue · 1 comments

It would be nice if I could configure emulationstation to search for images in a specific folder, and request it to use a folder structure, rather than them be dumped into a flat images/ folder. I have a collection of scraped images in a downloaded_media folder generated by ES-DE, and would like to reuse it in batocera, but can't seem to find any configuration options for having emulationstation use media in those folders.

example folder structure:

downloaded_media
└── doom
    ├── covers
    │   └── doom1.png
    ├── fanart
    │   └── doom1.jpg
    ├── manuals
    │   └── doom1.pdf
    ├── marquees
    │   └── doom1.png
    ├── miximages
    │   └── doom1.png
    ├── physicalmedia
    │   └── doom1.png
    ├── screenshots
    │   └── doom1.png
    └── videos
        └── doom1.mp4

We're not going to change the current organization for the internal scrapers.
You still can write you own code to process the gamelist.xml files, and do the organisation you want yourself.
