[Feature Request] Auto-launch game if only a single cue or iso exists in a folder #5

Open mario-64 opened 2 years ago

mario-64 commented 2 years ago

If a folder contains only one disc (cue or iso) why make the user manually select it? The game should auto-launch at folder selection if only one disc is present in the folder. Only folders which contain more than one cue/iso should require manual selection of the disc.

the folder may also contain NVRam backup, so autolaunching it will prevent loading/saving the NVRam if user chooses to.

Auto-load NVram if present also? If it's there it's safe to assume the user wants it loaded.

and if the user wants to save it there ? too many "if"s...

If the NVram is saved elsewhere of course it wouldn't be auto-loaded. I'm just suggesting if there are game folders and only a single cue/iso + Nvram then load both when the folder is selected.

imagine scenario :
disc contents:

  1. kt.iso
  2. icebreaker 2.1. icebreaker.iso 2.2. nvram.nvm
  3. need for speed 3.1. needforspeed.iso 3.2. nvram.nvm

now user wants to save current nvram to need for speed directory, but load icebreaker with it's invram. and after playing that, user wants to save the nvram to the icebreaker directory, and load nvram from need for speed directory, but play killing time from root.

with your scenario nvram is lost as soon as user selects need for speed directory. my scenario doesn't limit the user options.

i consider the subject closed. it's just one more button press to enter the directory and not limiting the options, you're doing much more of those just by typing here.
