combine multiple folders into drop down folder list

Hi there!

One thing I've looked for, but maybe haven't found and you have, orr.... you don't have it :) is the ability to put multiple folders into 1 folder list.

For instance, I have videos spread into two different places

C:\Vids - named Vids 1 in the drop down list
D:\Vids - named Vids 2 in the drop down list

I'd love to be able to just have "vids" in the drop down list and it show from both folders. Maybe it could have a comma separator in the settings/folder path area?

It'd be really cool because I have my music seperated out in one place, my music in another and uh... vids that aren't for general consumption in still a third place :) And since I don't keep anything congruent (because i'm a scatterbrain like that), this would be a huge help!

Thanks for listening !

Spend $20 (currently half price) bucks and get http://drivebender.com/ - it is a drive pooler.

So now you just have one large say D: drive, then your folders on there can continue to grow without having your videos/music spread out against multiple drives.

I've got 5 - 2TB drives pooled and the software works great. Give it a try, they have a free 30day trial

Not at all, all of my content plays perfect using Subsonic.

Sorry, I'm late to this! I forgot I'd even posted it! Love Subsonic!!

I'm going to check this out! Honestly, though, I'd rather have the ability IN Subsonic as well. Although I think it could be a "whenever I happen to get around to it because I have mostly nothing better to do" on the dev list! :D

Thanks again Mr programmer guy! :)
