combine multiple folders into drop down folder list

Postby BrienBear » Sun May 27, 2012 12:35 am

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

With regard to drive bender is there any problems with that and SS?

See viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9583

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

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! :)
